Have you actually read a One Nation policy, WP

ALP and the Libs are both playing a part in their rise. Not surprising as Albo is arguably the worst prime minister of the last 50 years

Yes I'm well aware of One Nations policies. There's even a couple I'm fully in agreement with. But my issue with their policies is that they give no indication on how they intend funding any of them.

AT I'm a older than you so in 50 years I've lived through a lot of Prime Ministers, reckon I'm up to number 10....can as it stands right now Albo isn't the worst ...not even close

Every one of them has had failings. All of them

He’s close to the worst

Gillard worse?
Keating maybe?

Albo is very run of the mill IMO, especially when compared to what Liberals dished up in that last run with Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison.

If you think he's so much worse it's only because you lean the other way.

Have never voted Liberal in my life personally.

Albo, Turnbull and Gillard the worst I've seen.

The country is at an all time low. Not an easy time to govern but the ALP are doing a poor job.

Albo's doing a crap job according to most on this site. The coalition will be in no state to win an election for the next  10 years. So I guess the PM's job is all Albo's for a while yet.

In my lifetime

Morrison is the worst by a long way. Fprget abpit holdong hoses...What he did to the NDIS after Abbott's initial butchering of it is staggering. What should be something that is the envy of the world was decimated and it will take years if not decades to repair. Unforgivable! FWIW we deal with it on daily basis, until you have to deal with it then you really don't have understanding of jaw it works and should work

Followed by Fraser... he gets easily forgotten. But I will never forget his policies that forced my recently widowed Mum with 2 kids 9 & 7 to go in to then social security and basically have to beg to for a widows pension and child endowment payments...he was the epitome of ensuring the rich got richer and the poor got poorer

Then it is Keating the most arrogant PM ever. Could have been a great ended up being tosser

Rudd was a shocker too. Spineless
