Exclusive: Albanese reveals two-term strategy if Labor wins | jamesmassola
on the eve of the final week of the election campaign, Albanese would not answer questions about whether he would live in the Lodge in Canberra nor about what role partner Jodie Haydon – who has joined him on the campaign trail – would play in public life if Labor won.
“If we are successful, I’m telling people what I will do, I’m not promising things I’m uncertain I’ll be able to do because of the fiscal position. An example of that is superannuation on paid parental leave. I’m saying yes I would like to do it, but I’m not going to announce it unless we’re certain we can do it.“[Another] example is childcare.
However, “there are obvious weaknesses that were there that we all accept responsibility for, which meant that we had only two terms and one of those terms was in minority”.– which Labor MPs and members of the crossbench have called for – Albanese said: “I can’t envisage a circumstance whereby you wouldn’t have a proper inquiry into the handling of the pandemic. The pandemic is still here now.
Albanese said Labor would benefit from having a range of ministers who had served in cabinet before, much as the Hawke government benefited from having ministers such as Paul Keating, who had been blooded late in the Whitlam government, in its cabinet. Ministers would “run their portfolios” in concert with a “revitalised” public service.
