Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

[Gough]

A perceived strength on national

The same carville that said it was impossible for trump to win the 2024 election and and the same carville that says democrats should do nothing in 2025 ?

Carville needs to retire and disapear from all public life.

The Libs are massively overplaying their hand here in the hope of people forgetting they have no policy and they all hate each other.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

Remember when Kevin Rudd or Tony Abbott were going to rule for a decade? Anything is possible in modern politics. The group think here is incredible

Show us your working.

The Israeli Government lobby and their Australian business and media supporters have rolled out the big guns now.

Renowned international terrorism and law experts Luke Beveridge, Alistair Clarkson, Leigh Matthews and Scott Pendlebury have added their considerable expertise to calls demanding that Australian PM Anthony Albanese call a Federal Royal Commission into the Bondi shootings.

Beyond parody now.

Tough day for the "keep politics out of sport" crew.

would be a worthwhile exercise compelling everyone going public on this to declare their voting habits

me thinks not all is at it appears

 

[Dogs_R_Us]

Tough day for the "keep politics out of sport" crew.

So a broad cross section of all parts of society are urging the government to announce an RC. Isn’t Albo always calling for unity? Well, he’s got it right in front of him.

I wonder whose idea this was… very funny stuff

 

[Ghost Patrol]

So the keep politics out of sport crowd have compiled a list of athletes.

 

[Gough]

Waynr f***ing Carey, coke addled wide beaters for Israel.

 

[Exquisite Hams]

Pat Rafter, Chris Judd, Sally Pearson and Ian Thorpe are all left wing Labor voters, so this is interesting.

But I believe sport and politics should be unlinked, so I don't agree with this. Interesting to see how it plays out

you think Carey could spell Israel let alone understand the issues?

Seriously you are an anti-semite

How do you know how they vote?

 

[Exquisite Hams]

How do you know how they vote?

because I have been at fund raisers for ALP politicians with 3 out of 4 of them and the 4th is a friend of a friend

 

[Markfs]

I'm amazed that this is the one time that a group of australian sportspeople inject themselves into political life. Not a peep from them in the past. Was there anything similar done when the referendums took place? Who organised this non partisan letter? Will Albo and his wife get whisked away to New York or Tel Aviv if he doesnt comply?

I've always thought that we should allow a RC and put the actions of israel in gaza into its terms and the varioius intergovernmental exchanges between the two govts into the mix. Put the actions of various groups into the mix as well. The networking, the pressure tactics over the last 2 years. Put the activities of muslim and jewish groups into the mix. Lets get the whole story out.

This is effing bizarre. Like all those weirdly identically-worded letters from the swimming community in support of Gina Rhinestone.

Maybe because it’s just that important.

What you say in your second paragraph is EXACTLY what should be out there and analysed and EXACTLY why Albo is against it.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

The Israeli gov'ts forensic analysis of what australia needs to do to rid itself of antisemitism, which I referred to in an earlier post, has caitlin johnstone as its top demonic influencer.

I have to admit that I'm a recent student of israeli hasbara and I didnt know who that person was. In fact, it appears that she is an Australian. Youtube has kindly shuffled her most recent youtube video to me, which has her husband reading a response to the Israeli government's allegation.

I thought you all might be interested, especially the reference to the new israeli policy of promoting islamophobic, ably demonstrated by many BF posters.

I'm unsure whether the israeli gov't has told its local subbranch to categorise this woman as a terrorist....so if this is my last post, adieu...

Antony Loewenstein on the list lol

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Nothing like beating a dead horse over a slow news holiday period

It's embarrassing the level they're going to to try and keep this relevant and in the news each day.

 

[Rob R]

Albo will be replaced during 2026. He has been shown to be weak - he can’t come back from this. Plibersek is my bet for the next PM and she will win easily in 2028

Calls for a RC are getting louder and louder. Someone will need to be blamed and it is easier for the ALP to push Albo aside. That allows a reset. I said from day one his response was weak and he would be blamed for this. Despite the protests of this sub (which is a far left echo chamber) - I was correct.

I actually don’t think it is fair because yes Albo has been weak but he’s a small part of a much larger problem. But that’s politics

Albanese whilst disappointing in some areas is still doing a decent job and will easily win election. If he goes, it would be for Chalmers as Marles and Wong are duds and Plibersek is unelectable.

 

[Rob R]

Just read the article. I wonder where Daniel Andrews would sit in his estimation in this context? I use him as the example as he’s probably the most successful Labor leader of recent times, but I think he was also far bolder than Albanese.

As time passes, the scope of Andrews dishonesty, incompetence and corruption becomes more and more obvious. The only reason, he survived so long was due to the pathetic nature of the opposition that essentially did everything it could to lose the elections.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

This is effing bizarre. Like all those weirdly identically-worded letters from the swimming community in support of Gina Rhinestone.

Always back self interest.

Some sort of business interest etc that has brought together this totally bizarre and random group of people.

Reckon Ralph Horowitz is the Jewish link there.

Grow up, how important it is has nothing to do with it.
