AlboMP No - Labor needs to work cooperatively with the people who are actually in charge and won an election

AlboMP You're the opposition, you lost the election so sit down shut up and let the elected government do what they were elected to do.

AlboMP They are just that the opposition not the government. Shame on Labor for playing politics at this time. Poor leadership

AlboMP Albo is so desperate to be relevant he will use the safety and crisis of the Australian people to assert himself. Every speech during the fires was 100% political, and the same here with Corona.

AlboMP Please don't let Labor near the decision making process. They along with the idiots in the Reserve Bank wanted to waste money on stimulus well before the virus leaving the country bankrupt. Scott Morrison doing a great job.

AlboMP Here we go again Albanese making this political again ALBO JUST SHUT UP.

AlboMP notoAnal

AlboMP Nah the Labor leader needs to pull his head in and work with our elected government. Instead of working against it. No wonder people are scared and confused with all the mixed messages labor are sending.

AlboMP Pull your head in Albo & help our Elected Government or go the way of Billy Boy!

AlboMP He needs to offer and stop grandstanding.

AlboMP Are you issuing threats at this time did you get lessons from Pelosi? If so shame utter shame on you.

AlboMP The left only ever care about power and control. Even in opposition they demand it.

AlboMP don't forget, voters have memoirs . I dare you not to pass it. I dare you.

AlboMP Great election strategy. Oppose government plans to help in the middle of a pandemic. Tipping Scomo will get whatever BS waste of money package he wants.

AlboMP Albo you lost deal with it.

AlboMP Why

AlboMP So Albi is going to blackmail the PM so he can get what he wants isn’t that illegal

AlboMP Albo playing politics! Again! Just like he said he would not do!

AlboMP This is despicable. Playing politics during a pandemic. Furthermore I understand that your party is being kept informed all the time. Implying that you could/would delay passage of stimulus should result in you resigning from Parliament.

AlboMP No Labor needs to work closely with the Liberals as the Liberals are in power. We elected the Liberals after all.

AlboMP No AlboMP its the other way around, during the coronavirus epidemic Labor needs to work closely with the Government, a message that also needs to be understood by those arseholes in the ABC and SBS. auspol abcnews latingle barriecassidy murpharoo LaTrioli annabelcrabb

AlboMP You going to block everything each way?

AlboMP Now for sure this goose is cooked! The only package Albo is concerned about is the one Jacquie Lambi referred to!

AlboMP There it is... Albanese is all talk. Make us the centre of attention or we will make sure the pensioners and unemployed have to scrap for their $750. This is as Labor as Labor gets

AlboMP MANIPULATIONS THREATS BLACMAIL…..GOOD ON YOU YOU LABOR IDIOTS !! this will not end well for your party of tools.

AlboMP No shut the greens I mean Labour out of all discussions. Let them concentrate on crippling us with their Climate change religion.

AlboMP Labor is going to be remembered for any of their responses during this crisis. Play politics and the electorate will remember.

AlboMP albomp can posture all day but it won’t help. The smart move would be to say (repeatedly) that ALP stands ready to assist in any measure that will help minimise the impact of COVID 19 on Australians. Atm he sounds like a petulant child wanting to be included. auspol

AlboMP Get over yourself We’ve had a gut full of your political point scoring when peoples lives are at risk AustralianLabor Greens Nothing but selfish self serving hypocrites Media need to have a hard look at themselves too Drought fires now coronavirus WORK FOR AUST not yourself

AlboMP Labor whinging again.

AlboMP What does big Mouthias Corman say to this, the system is based on the ole Colonial days.

AlboMP No the dont, last I checked the ALP weren’t in government. Just what Australia needs right now, a few ego maniacs in the ALP holding Australia to Ransom because they still can’t come to terms with losing the last election.

AlboMP Every other country has locked down. Morrison warns 6m of chaos. Will 2-3 wks of lockdown cause more job losses & pain? Or allowing the virus to drag on for 6m? The longer it goes on, the more deaths on Morrison’s head. LockUsDown AlboMP FlattenTheCurve

AlboMP He's the Opposition, no responsibility, just political criticism to use to be elected next time around.

AlboMP no labour needs to self isolate for a month and let the govt do it’s job!

AlboMP Labor and the Greens are being bullies. Now is not the time for it. Just pass the stimulus as is no favors asked for.

AlboMP Old fence sitter Albo has got it arse about again.

AlboMP Does that mean Labor will block it ?

AlboMP 'If you don't put us centre stage we will slow the process down'? Wow

AlboMP Quick! Help me be relevant ScoMo!

AlboMP Like the heinous cash ban act? 😡

AlboMP Albo, you need to stop trying to divide the nation, the current situation calls for calm and unity, no more scare mongering

AlboMP The other way arround, Albanese. You need to work with the PM, because he is in charge.

AlboMP Ha ha . So just like the wharfie unions in WW2 holding the nations best interests to ransom, the ALP hasn’t changed 75 years later !

AlboMP AlboMP How many times do you need to be told. You are not the PM so zip it and sit. There is no need to work with you. If you are required to lend assistance you will be told at the appropriate time. We expect your full cooperation. Nothing less.

AlboMP Nope mate they don’t ! Your the opposition in case you forgot . They’re the government and they need to work with the buyer other state governments ( liberal or labor ) . You Anthony are irrelevant. Maybe next time if it comes back and labor is in government .

AlboMP Labour needs to work with the Government of the day...

AlboMP Who is this Albo guy anyway?

AlboMP What a complete grub this bloke is. Using the Australian people as his political pawns!!

AlboMP I’ll get in there and sort it out

AlboMP Combating it...... you're doing nothing. Lets be honest, there's nothing you can do, we will all get it at some point.

AlboMP AlboMP trying to hold the Australian people hostage because he’s not getting enough attention

AlboMP Pardon, think it might be the other way round. You are the Opposition, remember%? You lost.

SwannyQLD AlboMP AlboMP needs to recognise he is not the PM!! Thank Christ!!

AlboMP Yep let’s play politics in the middle of the biggest crisis any of us have dealt with, well played, goose

AlboMP As usual, Labour has NOT learned anything from their last, humiliating election defeat. Albo, somehow believes, he is in power & is making demands! Decent parties will work with the Liberal National coalition, criminal Labour union thugs like Albo, will only try to bully people!

AlboMP What a hide. Stall Govt programs and you’ll be in opposition for years.

AlboMP Always the politicking tool - AlboMP

AlboMP The coalition is the one in government right? Just checking .....

AlboMP So Albo you’re going to play with people’s lives to get your way and hold govt to ransom! Not a smart move! You obviously didn’t see this ..... people don’t trust or like you and your slipping! Just like shorten.

AlboMP Actually Albo this exactly what I think of your left wing pissant Labor lecture. Win yourself an election and you can dictate the terms of Government. Until then, nick off. auspol

AlboMP If AlboMP is fucking around and isn’t supporting the current government he has little no no chance of winning an election, so he should do whats right and pass it thru

AlboMP That sounds like a threat.

AlboMP No they don't. Labor aren't in power.

AlboMP NO - they don’t ALP isn’t in government ALP has no say in this piss off Albosleazy

AlboMP Typical of labor .. the Australian people don’t matter

AlboMP Each way Albo

AlboMP You forgot the outcome of the election. Check with Bill if you are not sure.

AlboMP That's not how our government works. What a corrupt bunch our politicians are if this is their attitude. We, the Australian people are obviously not their top priority! Nothing but greedy, power and $ hungry GlobalistPuppets

AlboMP No, AustralianLabor need to work with the duly elected govt that smashed them at the last election because taxpayers are sick of their obstructional ways

AlboMP HowDareYou Albo

AlboMP You wouldn’t bloody well dare.

AlboMP How bout no.

AlboMP I DARE you to not pass the stimulus package you utter FOOL !

AlboMP

AlboMP So much for bipartisanship.

AlboMP Get used to being in opposition you hopeless partisan union hack

AlboMP So exactly what is it that you have to offer “Each Way”? Maybe it should be the other way around and Labor needing to work more closely with the Coalition. What we heard from Shorten & Bowen was self posturing.

AlboMP Why is AlboMP not added to NationalCabinet ScottMorrisonMP ?

AlboMP That’ll please the people .... NOT

AlboMP Is he threatening?

AlboMP Feeling a bit left out Elmer?

AlboMP I just wonder what the guy thought the vendors were gunna do with all the food n beverages they’d bought to supply the sporting events over the weekend. Look what ALP did to the GP🧐

AlboMP Not in gov so get out the way or help

AlboMP Labor will just use any opportunity to score political points. The public has no appetite for an 'each way' involvement by the ALP. They're in opposition for a reason- they had/ have nothing to offer.

AlboMP how about, get out of the way albo, so things can be put through that benefit this country!

AlboMP All about AlboMP. Tickets on himself.

AlboMP Each way Albo has forgotten one important thing. He is not in government. So how about you do the right thing and work with who the people voted for to lead this country. eachwayalboisanob.

AlboMP the idiots in control including SKY needs to be sharing preventatives to build up immunity unless u want people to die if this is real? anti infection minerals Dr Thomas E Levy maganesium VitC D3, Vit C, Vit K2 iodine- iotorol

AlboMP Why Labor is only good for saying what should of been done not what should be done

AlboMP The confected outrage on this thread is something to behold. For the nutters, if Morrison was serious about stimulus he would have recalled Parliament this week to pass the required legislation. Why didn't he? Why wait til 31 March before the money rolls out? It's dumb.

AlboMP How about throwing full support to those in charge. Albo trying to insert himself into relevancy, trying to play with the senior team. You're nowhere near selection mate.

AlboMP auspol it would be ridiculous to have men and women who hate each other trying to work harmoniously together. Parliamentarians simply can’t do that. Perhaps during the crisis, parliament should he suspended and an “emergency government” take its place?

AlboMP Maybe if elbow and co stopped behaving like they know better on every decision that the govt make, they would have a better chance of appearing bipartisan.

AlboMP He knows the Liberals all too well. I was drunk, slept through vote: Abbott

AlboMP You are not doing yourself or Federal Labor any good with the politicking Albo. The people can see straight through it. Unless you play this straight you will come out of this a much diminished person.

AlboMP Here we go. The lunatic left trying to rise from obscurity and pretend they have relevance in the 21st century. Maybe if they had real leaders from the real Australia rather than union lackeys. Alas they have Albo the lipless.

AlboMP Have a feeling albo is enjoying the last few months with fires and corona.dont think the general public will fall for this.

AlboMP AlboMP news flash, you’re not the government

AlboMP I bloody dare you

AlboMP If the packages are passed we know where the blame lies.

AlboMP So now Albo’s holding the political gun at the heads of Quite Australians while Australia suffers. One dum bastard

AlboMP Well Albo maybe tell a few of your journo mates and MP's to start being a little more respectful on social media.

AlboMP Just try blocking anything Labor, because Australians will crucify you and your Greenie mates.

AlboMP Albanese issued an obstruction and threat to crisis management .. under emergency power he & any who follow him should be suspended from Parliament. This is not a time for squabbling and petty politics. Got that Albo .. now apologise and support the Government!! ScottMorrisonMP

AlboMP Labor need to drop their negative communist ideologies and support Australians

AlboMP Really? Want to see you blocking it and you’ll stay on the opposition bench for a long time.

AlboMP Dare you to block the stimulus package Toerag.

AlboMP If labor refuse to pass legislation that is a stimulus package for the nation in a time of unprecedented medical pandemic they will consign them selves to opposition for 6 more years...pathetic

AlboMP AlboMP and AustralianLabor never the same scenario during gfc when MrKRudd was in charge. News for you albo, we elected our leader, amd your lot missed out. oxygenthief COVIDー19

AlboMP Are you thinking of blocking it or causing trouble each way?

AlboMP FFS AlboMP JEChalmers let this CorruptCoalition run let them hang themselves. You block anything they will BLAME AustralianLabor for it when we TANK and the so called independent MSM will parrot it mornin till night FOR EVER .Give em what they want. Don't CRITICISE them.

AlboMP I reckon ALL Gov's need to work better & together or we're farked! Jesus, they can't even agree on a penalty for the new coronavirus offence! Pathetic! auspol covid19

AlboMP Why Labor usually stuffs everything Coalition is in Gov don't need Labor stuff ups

AlboMP Maybe after the next election, but I doubt it.

AlboMP That sentance should be the other way around ... I freaking dare Labour to try and hold things up during a crisis ... they are already in the sin bin for a decade ... want to make it two ...

AlboMP This is why Labor won't do any good with this leader. Their current front bench and whoever their advisors are. Just when Albanese had the chance to show leadership and for the sake of the nation go along. He chose to be childish. Another loser.

AlboMP ALBO SHOULD STOP PLAYING POLITICS WITH THIS !!!!!!!!!!

Govt’s decisions addressing coronavirus do not have a ‘deep influence’ | Sky News AustraliaPolitical advisor and commentator Lachlan Harris says the Australian government’s political decisions to curb the coronavirus outbreak are “pre-capacity line” decisions which “don’t have a deep influence”.\n\nMr Harris said when the capacity of a country’s health system is “not in view” then governments of all political persuasions “lack the political will to make really significant decisions”.\n\nCountries without proper experience handling a health epidemic like SARS or MERS tend to “focus on decisions around travel bans” in the pre-capacity stage, which Mr Harris said Australia is in.\n\n“As the capacity line comes into view that’s when (governments) do the extreme social intervention stuff”.\n\nMr Harris said the Australian government is making “the same set of mistakes” which were made in countries which have “widespread community transmission”.\n\nImage: Getty 😳😙😙😙😳😳😳
