Albanese will have only himself to blame for losing the Voice
ALP campaign veterans are now trying to work out how the prime minister has diminished the Yes vote to its current desperate position. All they have to do is ask Frank Brennan.
The likely loss of the Voice referendum on October 14 marks the halfway point of the first term of the Labor government, and the outcome for the Voice is fast turning into a proxy referendum on the leadership of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Albanese’s judgment is already being called into question by his decision to boost Qantas profits at the expense of air travellers and the Australian tourism industry. Critics have grown to include two state Labor governments and the president of the ALP, Wayne Swan, with the latter likely to trigger nightmares for any sitting Labor prime minister.
