Strike 3 and Albanese should be out

September 23, 2025

I am fully in agreement with all that Margaret Reynolds says. Although Albanese would have to pull a mighty big rabbit out of his hat to salvage his reputation.

The Age (online 23/09/2025) headline “Albanese’s plea to world leaders on Palestine” would be laughable if it were not so embarrassing that so very many countries got there well before us in recognising Palestine. Strike 1.

Just as we are laggards (to put it politely) regarding Palestine, we are at the bottom of the rankings on action to address climate change and the environment. How Albanese has the gall to think Australia is a suitable place to hold COP31 is beyond me. Strike 2.

And Albanese continues to sell our sovereignty to the US. Except we don’t “sell” it. We pay to give it away, giving billions to the US for the pleasure. The Americans must know the meaning of “Come in spinner!” by now. Strike 3.

Albanese is a failure on the three major issues of our time. The sooner he is out the better.

If not the worst PM in the same way as his recent predecessors, Albanese is certainly the most pathetic, wasteful of so many opportunities to improve Australia and the world.
