'I'm determined to do what needs to be done': Anthony Albanese has begun his campaign blitz, saying he's learnt the lessons of Labor's 2019 defeat | Rob Harris

within the party’s senior ranks during the past nine years. But Albanese says those observations seriously underestimate the benefit of political experience and the relationship building that it brings.

“I’ve met Joe Biden. Morrison hadn’t met Joe Biden,” he says. “Instead he campaigned for Donald Trump,” referring to his attendance at a rally in Ohio during his visit to the US in September 2019. But Albanese is unapologetic about this. In the days after taking the leadership in May 2019 he said: “As much as some people will tell me I need a little bit more polish, I intend to be exactly who I am. Because that’s what’s got me to this position today.”

Several anxious Labor MPs down south were eager for independent feedback from this reporter along the way as to how their boss was performing and Queenslanders were responding. Yes, they concede, their leader is prone to waffle and not the best media performer, but it might not matter if sentiment continues to turn on the Morrison government.“You know he’s not going to improve on that stuff,” one says. “He’s not that good at it, but maybe, this time, he’ll be good enough.

“We’ve learned the lessons,” he says. “We did a whole review into it … our policy offering wasn’t strong enough to secure the support of people in Queensland.” The night before, Albanese had been given a rockstar’s welcome at a gathering of 40 or so Labor branch members at the Northern Beaches Bowling Club in Mackay. First prize in the raffle was a COVID-19 survival kit, including a couple of precious rapid antigen tests.

Really ALBO determined to do WHAT? More Chinese infiltration, wreck the economy?list is endless what damage previously we witnessed, resuming boat people ?remmber u were ALL there in recently Federal labour governments, we wait with nervousness

A policy. Not a whinge. Not a sook. A policy. Just one well worded, properly costed policy that isn’t giving something away for free. I’ll wait.

Only fix is to give Tanya the job.

Lockdown lover going to try to sell labours dream

The faint praise in this article is damning. Says AlboMP is physically dinged up, usually inarticulate, shy of the public, and needed wholesale weight loss to regain his mental focus. He’s older than Lazarus was when he had that triple bypass too. auspol AusPol2022 Albo

If you judge Albo's effectiveness by how he's kept Scott Morrison and his government accountable for their actions then you'd hope they have someone else waiting in the wings to take on the next election.

Finding the right balance between doing nothing and letting ScoMo continue to shoot himself in the foot or saying anything at all and shooting himself in the foot. Tough gig.

Translates as, what, no Medicare expansion, no raising Jobseeker to or above the poverty line. All neoliberal bootstraps.

Pretty sure you gave Morrison more space in your newspaper last weekend (until the tidal wave of backlash, then it was one article on the side all weekend). Keep them coming, we have all weekend.

Heaven help us 🙏

Like hell it's his time. Hopefully Australia's two party dictatorship will end at the next election

All right grandpa 🙄🤡
