    First week in, just 7 days since election day and still deciding if the ALP will lead in own right and Albanese is making impressions around the world.

    However, foreign policy campaigned on seem to have taken a turn for the worst. From the same article
    So some challenges going forward, will be interesting to see how he works through them. Butter wouldn't melt in Wong's mouth (current foreign minister) but I wonder how long it will be before the real Wong shows up to the party. Again remember I have pre-disposed dislike for this woman.

    There have been some issues though.
    No matter who is to blame and why, Labor campaigned on the promise to reduce these costs Not just blame everybody else for it. All eyes will be watching.

    BUT we also had the
    So back to the main issue I attacked him with. I hold in reserve, criticism of political opportunism he appears to have by ignoring allegations. for the clear case of holding the position of respecting others, we will see.

    However, if I recall correctly, Wasn't it Plibersek who screamed in outrage over the personal attacks on Gillard's appearance??? Honestly, not only that, she would attack the appearance of somebody who has condition that makes them appear as they do??? Respect is a 2 way street and Plibersek shows it is her belief she is above everybody else.

    GO FIGURE.

    Anyway, Rather impressive by Albanese. It is time to talk about the promised policies.

    There are many but I would rather see the first home buyer’s policy of Albanese binned. Don't worry I would also thought the Coalition policy trashed as well Because no matter how you look at it, more people in the market just INCREASES house prices. It will be a never ending spiral pushing prices out of the realm of everyday people.

    I do believe, focus on rental market first. AS prices increase so does the rental values needed. The issue with negative Gearing that has turned many away from investment properties has helped to create a negative in rental opportunity.

    Just one policy I would rather not see. At least until the poor can rent homes.

    What say you???

    2 lost decades under Howard, Abbott and Scomo.
    20 long years of ignoring climate change and not acting upon.
    And here we are and Garry lashes out on our newly elected government, which is in power for just around a fortnight.
    I don't get you....

    Anytime we have the two major parties governing, Australia will continue to slide down the brown log 's' bend.

    Very little difference between the parties. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

    I did not vote as I intend to migrate away and feel it would be improper for me to vote without suffering the consequences of that vote.

    I wonder if Albo will tear up the Lima Declaration? It started in 1975 and was supposed to take 30% of our manufacturing to third-world countries and give them a kick along. nearly 50 years on and it has taken near on 90%. The last industries to leave our shores for good were Ford & Holden manufacturing and Toyota too. Blaming the market that we didn't like large gas-guzzling cars anymore. Yet Toyota was the most economical out of the 3 brands. Look what is on offer now.. Dodge Rams, Mustangs WTF?

    Really it's the bureaucracy that makes most policy, and they're insulated enough for it to not really change much based on who is in The Lodge.

    That may be the case, but it's the same ones who pay the way in what direction everything goes regardless of who is steering the boat.

    Interesting how you think everything is an attack. Perhaps you should read the post and consider it from discussion point of view, not the from others hate.
