Too far left = Too far gone.

The Coalition don't have a Plan. It's just Spin & PR

Stupidity of the first order

They won’t bc their stupid , and it would be the biggest ugliest backflip with pike that has ever been achieved not to mention how ridiculous they would look after all this climate emergency crap they are spruiking...their trillion dollar climate policy will put the final nail in

I guess this is what happens when you don't have a policy. If Albo is going to wait until 2022 there is going to be a lot of internal & external noise in the meantime.

Hey Luigi you’re like a melting ice cream, we need leadership now to win the next election

GCobber99 Get in the bin fitzhunter Get your ego in check. Destroying Labor from within.

The union wants labour to lose the next election too?

Should be no targets, no money to UN and no subsidies. Then our economy will go gangbusters

Junk science. Get out of the Paris Ponzi scheme.

😎

nyunggai They can get f*ckd

NOT the only problem for Albo, I think Joel Fitzgibbon is starting a run for Labor leadership Is Joel the next Bill Shorten?
