Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese will channel the Pope by telling Christian organisations he believes the values of Labor and the church overlap with their vision to rebuild Australia following the coronavirus pandemic

.

Mr Albanese will tell the gathering, facilitated by the Australian Christian Higher Education Alliance, that “we’re all in this together” cannot be “just be an empty mantra” but “a guiding philosophy”.“Ultimately, it boils down to a fair go for all. It is a sense of fairness that Jesus’ teaching radiates throughout the books of the New Testament,” Mr Albanese will say according to the draft notes of the speech.

Quoting Pope Francis, Mr Albanese said there was a “powerful overlap between those values and Labor values as we work on how to get through this pandemic”.

Church and state should never be combined.

The church has always loved ANAL.... like Sco Mo but more painful

Haha this is the most hilarious statement I’ve heard today. The communist part in line with church values!

This man is as funny as his predecessor. He is so out of touch, like all pollies, with what the real world is all about. As long as Labor continues to dish up this rubbish, they will always be in opposition

Why the mocking tone for Albanese but not for Morrison? How is one better or worse than the other? Be consistent or people will think you're biased.

Here's some ethical journalism instead of 's clickbait. Anthony Albanese says political leaders must not “walk past those who are in need or suffering” while declaring the Covid-19 pandemic has dispelled some “dangerous fantasies” about individualism.

Jesus Christ, he's going to announce that Labor will make same-sex marriage illegal again, isn't he?

Read this people instead of the crap from

when i saw a 'social worker' at Centrelink she gave me a religious pamphlet. Worrying sign...govt trying to outsource care when they should be helping us without religious overtones

Crap outrage clickbait tweet. Crap outrage clickbait headline.

We’re a secular nation. Churches are a business, make no mistake.

Not so sure about that AlboMP

lol what

They represent a very small proportion of the population. He’s got this fundamentally wrong.

Although Albo raises some good points in this article, can you imagine the bollocking Morrison would get if he mentioned religion in a political context?

The political parties can’t have it both ways - 1. Either have a clear separation between the Church (& every other religion) and the State or 2. Ensure that the federal & state laws & practices align fully with the Church ((& every other religion). e.g. - Gay Conversion Bill

QuentinDempster Seriously? One serial 'Christian' in the house is more than enough!

Oh come on....Labor and the greens are the most anti religious parties out there...

The right wing media have labelled the pope as part of the evil 'Great Reset'. Can't see Albo going after their vote, the other one might try.

Why pander to a reducing cohort? People are rightly shying away from these institutions for good reasons given their performances in years. They are an over represented and dangerous crowd that deserve recent treatment. Notmylabor

Reporting on Draft notes? Can't wait for the real notes?

Of course these are surely better policies than our current 'Christian' PM's policies.

Is this the Herald Sun ?

What is this? The 1950s?

Religion and politics should never coexist.

QuentinDempster Most hard core Christians are right wing conservatives who feel threatened by the idea of social justice or equality, despite what their good book says. That’s why they vote LNP.

Church and State party!

oh jesus christ no. just no

The woke half of Labor are egregious sinners, promote pedophilia etc.

I don’t think they are overlapping.

Sounds like something an American politician would say

Judging by the number of knee jerk comments which have completely misunderstood this sneering 'desperate Albo' SMH tweet, it's done its job!

QuentinDempster What.?

Wot on earth are you talking about...?

The churches refuse to dob in paedophiles. Albo is a fuckwit.

QuentinDempster 'Channel the Pope'is a bit of a worry, sounds quite spiritualist. Is it the Pope or Albanese who believes the values of Labor and the church should overlap? Or are they one person now?

QuentinDempster I hope MarkMcGowanMP doesn’t pull a similar godbothering stunt here in WA. I’d decided to vote Labour given how well he’s handled the pandemic. I’d never stomach craw thumping church rhetoric though.

If true,,, ALBO seriously has no clue as to what he is doing, what the new labor voter looks like and what he is up against.

AlboMP please be careful about aligning the Labor party with a church that does not support gays, women, victims of sexual abuse and the list goes on. Please give me a political party in which I can believe and support and that does not depend on the Catholic Church

Don’t kiss anybody’s ring. Not in this current climate.

While his Victorian leader criminalizes prayer...sure seemslegit

Can we dive a little deeper on this Albo 'channeling the pope' business

what

Don't fall the bait. Read it. 'Mr Albanese will use a speech to the Church Community Restoration Project on Monday to say Australia “shouldn’t walk past those who are in need or suffering”'

The best thing you can do Albo, is piss off any references to religion. You will lose more people than you hope to gain.

Overlapping religion might work in highly religious countries, but in Australia? How many are really religious? I work with several dozen people and not one of them is a church goer or believer.

Many of them do overlap. Catholic Social Teaching is evidence.

Albo channeling the Pope will please the Twitterati 😁

Oh FFS Albo, don't get into bed with these nutters! The ALP is about socially progressive programs and the High Church, Catholics in particular, is not! This isn't to say rank and file people of faith aren't attracted to the ALP but not fringe extreme Pentacostal cult type shit!

This will go down a treat with the drips lol

Please. Add. A. Full. Stop. At. Some. Point.

I'm listening....

Church running with charity. :{

This tweet makes no sense. There is no Italian Labor Party.

Whoever wrote this tweet, it makes no sense at all, has no sentence structure and looks like yet another reason for Facebook to keep the MSM banned indefinitely, more lazy journalism

Wtf
