$450mil is shocking

In this day and age I can't see how a referendum costs that much when voting has never been more accessible and advertising so easy and simple.

Money could have gone to some projects but I'm guessing Albo/Labor wanted to have a historical moment instead?

[Damo]

He really is a rotten piece of poo. An absolute fraud

Must go

Vile filth

Whenever the pressure is on, he runs away .. still remember the week of the election, when asked the hard questions on where the costing numbers were, all you saw was Albo running away in his high vis gear and hard hat

I understand that you want Albo to go.


But you will need to get rid of Dutton first.

Not necessarily
Labor loves doing swaps mid term

He could go tomorrow

Since when have Labor required an election to change the PM

Ok
So Labor hasn’t done swaps mid term ??

There hasn’t been a precedent ?

My ignorance has me forgetting the Julia Gillard effort on poor old Rudd the Dud

Not the case these days Damo since Kevin Rudd came back (2nd go as PM).As leader he changed the rules and the party agreed

To change leaders the ALP now also require the membership to vote on a new leader. The result of that counts for 50% of the vote, the other 50% by caucus. So basically now a leader cannot be knifed

It is the reason that Albo didn't beocme leader when Rudd got slaugthered by Abbott in the 2013 election. Shorten got the job due the change in the way the ALP elect a leader

Interestingly, Abbott tried to bring in the same thing for the Liberal Party

I’m sure they can make it happen if there is a big enough push

Deep down I’m sure they all know Albo must go

Surely the Labor party have better than that clown

Thanks for that informative post. Just wanted to acknowledge that.

[WilliamPowell]

Thank you Andyy

I will confess I'm a bit of politics tragic. Loved it, constitutional law and Australian history at school and still study it now

Telstra spent $1m on Yes campaign, should be repaid by the directors of the company

Surely they have to go?

[Nihilstic Tiger]

Yes - they all have to go just like #apartheidalbo.

[Damo]

Who cares who goes outside of Albo

Focus on him first and worry about the rest later
