The next two years look a lot tougher and, like Howard in 1998, Albanese would be well advised to take some substantial economic reforms to the next election.
After he’s had a year in the job, it seems almost disrespectful to criticise Labor Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Seeing him on the nightly news has become kind of comfortable and familiar, like slipping into last year’s Ugg boots on a chilly night.
I guess it’s because Albanese is the closest leader Labor has had in recent times to former Liberal PM John Howard. Our Labor bloke’s had the teeth fixed, got the senior’s version of the Harry Potter specs and he’s even lost a bit of weight, which is hard to do when you’ve hit 60. Right?
