Labor's treasury spokesman Chris Bowen has announced he will withdraw his leadership bid, clearing the way for Anthony Albanese, who has the support of a number of senior ministers, to step into the top job., claiming he could"best serve the party as leader".
Mr Bowen said he believed he would have had the majority support of the caucus ballot, but conceded that Mr Albanese would win the rank and file vote of the country's Labor Party members"by a good margin". "It has been raised with me that people of faith no longer feel that progressive politics cares about them," he said.
Labor please get your policies in order, talk with the electorates instead of all these inner city minority political correct issues.
