As well as his cowardice, & do-nothingness, & pathological Greens hatred, there's also his rank hypocrisy.

There was an embrace of WA Premier Roger Cook

Yet...

theguardian.com/australia-news

the prime minister appeared to block a hug from the environment minister, insisting that the pair are good friends ... Plibersek went in for a hug and a kiss, at which point Albanese grabbed both her hands and blocked her from getting any closer.

...leaving the ever-faithful Tanya, for whom being publicly screwed-over by this bloke has become just another Tuesday, to again mop up the mess...

During an election campaign, the last thing you want is to catch a cold from someone – so that’s on me. I should’ve done the elbow bump, I reckon

I'm so over Elbow.

Continued thread

toughness and punishment, including tougher jail sentences for malefactors. He thinks ministers are too constrained by administrative law, procedures and requirements about natural justice, human rights, and due process. With the help of weak and woke judges and quasi-judges in administrative tribunals, bad people, or people we can do without, are getting away with murder, he believes.

The shortage of developed policy is not necessarily a big minus among ordinary voters. Most expect a return to the broad policies of the Morrison government and its style of operating. That ought to strike horror among those who saw robodebt, the scale of party-partisan rorting and the lack of transparency and accountability in that government, with Dutton as much responsible as any other senior ministers. But incompetence and maladministration are not to be taken as what voters want, even if there is a serious risk that it is what they will get. Rather they expect a government in which the Coalition will preside over the economy, responding to events without much in the way of an agenda.

In many respects, though they will deny this absolutely, they mean following the broad guidance of experienced and bland public servants with the attention to detail Coalition ministers and minders tend to lack. The task these days, after all, is more about outputs for favoured constituencies than outcomes for the citizens who need it most.

That, alas, under Albanese as much as Morrison, is the new reason for winning elections.

Excellent interview!

As we continue down the path to polling day, it looks increasingly likely we will end up with a minority government.
And the Greens could hold the balance of power.
Leader Adam Bandt speaks to political reporter Josh Butler and Full Story co-host Reged Ahmad about who he plans to work with in the next parliament, and why Peter Dutton needs to be kept as far away from the Lodge as possible
