Now even many of those types are over it, thatβs my thoughts anyway. Best wishes & good luck, hopefully heβll end up in jail.

Labor is & always has been a centrist party Aus workers are overwhelmingly centrist & look for stability & certainty. The Libs win when they can drive fear & division. Too often Labor has fallen for their trap, Albo is smarter
