The two policy failures that will doom Albanese will be the non-reduction in energy prices and The Voice debacle. The latter will prove divisive whether the referendum succeeds or not. If it fails the usual suspects like the ABC will say shame on you Australia. If it gets up it won't be long before something proves the critics right such as lack of progress on aboriginal disadvantage.

I'm not sure Albanese will resign if it all goes badly then again we didn't expect Ardern to go suddenly. Long term the federal parliament may have more pragmatic independents and fewer party hacks. If so it may not be a bad thing.

Whitlam was barely interested in migration, which dropped as low as 13,000 in 1975. Albanese is an immigration lunatic, pushing migration past 300,000, in total opposition to what voters want, and what the economy needs. See the latest TAPRI survey, out March 1.

I hope that he crashes and burns within three years. He is dreadful. Whereas Whitlam was sophisticated and entertaining, and looked and sounded like a leader while he was wrecking the country, Ockernese is a hick, lacking any redeeming features at all; he is just wrecking the country.

Ocker, in that whiney voice, often asks what the rest of the world would think of us if we don't do what he wants us to do. I'm more concerned about what the rest of the world thinks of a country with a yokel like him as Prime Minister, and how he got to be there with less than a third of the primary vote.

All our politicians have proven to be rubbish since the Howard years. Now, we don't have a leader who even looks or sounds like one.

50 years after Whitlam we're copping this, what will they cop in 50 years after Albanese ?

Why Albanese & Marcia Langton haven't become a couple is beyond me !

Sorry, post meant for this thread.

Fderal Resolve poll for Nine newspapers, conducted January 17-22 from a sample of 1,606 people, gave Labor 42% of the primary vote (steady since early December), the Coalition 29% (down one), the Greens 11% (steady), One Nation 6% (up two), the UAP 2% (steady), independents 8% (steady) and others 2% (down one).
