Shorten takes a swipe at Albanese’s ‘tiny’ policy agenda

Bill Shorten has taken a thinly veiled swipe at his successor, Anthony Albanese, for adopting a “tiny” policy agenda in opposition.

But it is Mr Shorten’s message about his 2019 election loss to Scott Morrison and his call to arms for bolder policy development that will raise eyebrows within the ALP caucus.“I have learnt the lessons of defeat and I have learnt, and the party has learnt, the dangers of taking too large or too cluttered a policy agenda to the electorate,” he will say.

Mr Shorten will also say that the book broadly suggests Labor must, as a solution to the challenges it faces, re-engage “with ideas and with Labor values”.“Anthony Albanese is doing a good, solid job in a time of pandemic where the unity of the national moment naturally favours incumbents. The Morrison Coalition may seem to dominate but he - and they - are beatable.”

jamesmassola I don't think Bill will have too much creditability here would he after losing the election the ALP could not lose?

jamesmassola Says who ? here we go again total BS from media

Gatorau jamesmassola Don't judge before youve listened to What Bill said , NOT WHAT THE GUTTER MEDIA WROTE. They will try to destabilise Labor ,it's happened time and again. Fake News.

jamesmassola Let the games begin

jamesmassola Idiot.

jamesmassola Who is leading the Labour Party , Albo watch your back, shifty will knife you in the back at any opportunity

jamesmassola ohffs

jamesmassola More distension among the Labour Party. No vision, no policies and no plans. Labour cannot win an election with AlboMP. He is not a leader. Neither was billshortenmp and Bowenchris is not. Labour is bereft of any leaders. Anyway MrKRudd rules on changing leaders = a loss.

jamesmassola Wow the unloseable election guy is back throwing darts

jamesmassola Is this Bill’s audition for a return to the top job?

jamesmassola Yep....call in the expert? The Drovers's dog is now firming as the best Opposition Leader

jamesmassola Good for you Bill. Albo is not leader ship material; he whines and whinges about everything; gives no insight into what he will do and how he will do it. Criticizes the LNP but can't seem to off his own leadership in anything. Bowen just as bad.

jamesmassola Good Shorten was on the trail of fixing Climate Fuel Storage Manufacturing going electric for 80 % of town & City vehicles with solar power. most trades have vehicles standing on site whilst they work office workers have vehicles parked cars & small vans never do 300km a day

jamesmassola Sharpening his knives... number 3 coming up...

jamesmassola Must be an election coming, you've been instructed to promote division in Labor by Scottyisafuckwit

jamesmassola Ky

jamesmassola Like this will help just ask Julia.

jamesmassola Advice to ALP: don’t let current and past leaders publicly bicker. Get three themes, support with facts, and hammer home. Don’t introduce policies galore.

jamesmassola Praise the Lord, good on you Bill. Someone in Labor is standing up & being seen.

jamesmassola The guy who lost an un-losable election 😁🤔

jamesmassola The country needs you Bill

jamesmassola Sorry but Shorten deft is not the solution but I don’t think Albo is ethier

jamesmassola Albo and Shorten - two losers together

jamesmassola Don't worry about a lack of policy. Shorten had too many good ones. It made him too vulnerable to Murdoch. We just want a kind, honest, moderately intelligent human, as opposed to this.

jamesmassola Bizzare that someone so toxic that he loses the unlosable election still thinks he's in with a shot

jamesmassola We are desperate for a change of Government Morrison is not fit for office corruption and Rorts have to stop

Shorten takes a swipe at Albanese’s ‘tiny’ policy agendaBill Shorten will criticise Anthony Albanese’s policy agenda with faint praise – and suggest Labor must be bolder. Duh. While SM, the worst PM of this century so far, is being celebrated by main stream media, Labor is struggling to have a platform to reach voters. I don’t know what they stand for or against anymore. auspol2021 Shorten tried 'bolder' at two elections. May be 3 failures will convince him? I understand what Mr. Shorten is saying but Labor has been doing this shit for years, doesn't help your cause one iota. Instead of having the leaders back, you backstab them at the first opportunity, often in spite of public support.
