Albanese knows if the gap between the Coalition and Labor narrows over Christmas, Federal Parliament is unlikely to be recalled. And if so, he will either be prime minister or looking for another job. Niki Savva's OPINION ...
As he has done for a few years, Anthony Albanese will spend Christmas Day with the Reverend Bill Crews at the Exodus Foundation’s free kitchen in Ashfield in Sydney’s inner west, helping serve lunch for thousands of homeless people and abandoned youth.
“I am not going to die wondering,” he tells people, promising to give it his all. The question, of course, is whether his all will be enough. Albanese has been criticised for lacking a broad agenda, deemed by his critics to be a prerequisite for every Labor leader to secure victory, citing Bob Hawke and Kevin Rudd as examples of winners who dared to dream big.If that was true, Bill Shorten would have been readying to celebrate his third anniversary as prime minister.ran on a three-word theme of reconciliation, recovery and reconstruction, under the slogan “bringing Australia together.
Albanese has a habit of using several dozen words when often a simple yes or no will do, burying his message in a version of English favoured by politicians wary of getting into trouble or by police sergeants at crime scenes. He has lost weight, he has new suits, and after he stepped on his old glasses, he bought a new pair of black-rimmed ones which garnered more attention than anything else. His increasing confidence has helped improve his performance.
The actual Prime Minister fashioned himself as a hoon outsider to people who had a “gutful of government”, promising to get the government out of their lives and road-testing lines for the scare campaign on Labor’s climate change policy by warning Albanese will cave to the Greens.
