Albanese should have left before it’s too late

The thing that Labor should have learnt from the US election is to jump ship early, get out before you’re told to go (not that Dutton has the charisma of Trump) , and take the subs with them.

Albanese and Marles should have stood aside for Chalmers and Plibersek straight after the failure of the Voice vote.

Albanese, the loyal workhorse, and Marles, a tin soldier more worried about how his ADF uniform looks than working, neither capable of being dynamic leaders, should have walked all over Dutton, the broken dynamo from the past. But they haven’t! That says a lot about the leadership potential in Australian political ranks.

Albo would make a great ambassador to some middle power (say Sydney, he’s got the house) and Christopher Pyne has a job counting bullets for Marles.

If Labor lose, Peter Malinauskas is predicted to try for the top federal job. Then every state will get two car races, Liv Golf, AFL gather round, Olympic Games, and a roof with solar panels over the whole country, including Tassie, so we can play sport 24/7 and control flooding.
