Very simply put, given the song and dance performance that Labor orchestrated when Morrison went overseas for a pre-planned holiday during the fires only idiots in Labor could not have anticipated the reaction if Albozo did the same.

As Sheridan said, travel is a requirement of the job. However, there is a line beyond which this starts to look more like a self promoting junket than serious diplomacy. Albozo clearly crossed the line at the same time as his country was experiencing a crisis. The aprobrium he is attracting is well deserved.

There's a difference between sun baking on Waikiki while sipping Pina Colada's with some fundo bible bashing mate as Australia burns, that was 'I Don't Hold A Hose' Morrison. While on the other hand Albo has been out there working hard, so it seems, for Australia, 99% are on Albo's side, but the Forums 'Usual Suspects' who are part of the other 1% are up in arms, so what's new?

ttbn informs us he didn't vote Labor or LNP, well blow me down, what a shock.... his extreme right wing allegiance is well known on here, and they got smashed as well. Big Clive's gone, the Lovely Pauline got in by the skin of her teeth, oh the pain some must suffer.

BTW; Dud Dutton, gets a new job and immediately takes two months holiday. No extra dollar for low paid workers from this bloke, but a long OS holiday for himself, talk about entitlement, anyway, he'll be gone within 18 months. The guy was Constable Clod in the Queensland police, giving out parking tickets, 10 years later he handed in his ticket book and walked out still as Constable Clod. The Old Man gave the lad a job, then he joined the LNP and look at him now! Still useless.

Hi Bazz,

Coal-fired power stations started falling for quite some
time in Europe. There's none left in Scotland. About three
in the UK. And it plans to get rid of all of them by 2024.
Germany has re-activated some as Russia curbs the gas flow.
Germany is showing their support of the Ukraine.

So all the signs are there that a return to the past is not
on the cards as you're claiming.

The future is not coal.

It seems that there is only one solution: a government run by TBN and Shadowminister - they have all the answers

Coal fired power plants are going gangbusters in China and India, stoking their economies while ours is going backward. Economics is just one more thing that Albo & Co know nothing about. Even the Woke, PC mob in Europe are waking up to the the necessity of coal, nuclear, gas - anything but unreliables. Unlike Albo-led Oz, where it's wind and solar back to a Third World future.

To be fair though the last lot weren't really any better, and they are doing zero opposing in opposition.

When Albo gets to spend a bit of time in Australia, he wants to invite non-citizen Kiwis living here to vote in our elections. Will probably allow NZ convicted criminals to stay here. He will try to enshrine racism into the Constitution. After that, it will be a republic, if he can fool enough people.

He told one adoring reporter the other day that he was going to 'save Australia'. From what? Himself?
