And you believe she's the one who is going to help win back the voters who feel that the ALP has turned their back on traditional Labor values in the country and the outer metropolitan suburbs? If you think so.

Hardly an expert.
I just know the electorate, which is very working class, a mix of students, a lot of oldies (Greek, Russian, Indian migrants), with a blend of both conservatives and academic types. Have heard some really good things, which is why I mentioned her name yesterday, before todays rumours started.
Dandenong isn't "inner city lefty" Melbourne, it's pretty damn rough and ready. So if she can jump from Mayor of Dandenong at such a young age, to a seat like Hotham which includes parts of Oakleigh, Clayton etc., and is diverse and straddles all types, from a large elderly and migrant community, lots of knockabout types, students, the lot, it suggests she's a competent member who knows how to deal with the actual public, not just the base.
Errrrrrrrrrr you absolute donkey, where do you think the greater city of Dandenong is located?
Where do you think the electorate of Hotham sits? Clayton, Oakleigh etc. ain't inner city.
lol
Shifting goal posts mate. First you were talking about outer suburban working class Australia. It's a similarly diverse and working class makeup to a lot of Western Sydney.
Big no to Chalmers.
Look I'm happy for you to think that she would make a great Labor leader.
Personally, I think she isn't the candidate the ALP needs at the moment
You didn't even know who she was till you read my post.
Of course I did. She's a star shining bright in the ALP. She'll go a long away. I just don't think she's what the ALP leadership needs at the moment.
And who does it need? Be specific.
What's your take on Jason Clare, he strikes me as someone you'd like.
Wasn't he Wayne Swan's chief of staff or something? Hardly what Australians want to be reminded of...Wayne Swan...
I'm happy for the ALP to try Albanese as leader, however that would mean someone from the Right faction as Deputy.
Like O'Neill or Clare?
He'd be a good choice!
Now that worries me.

Wayne Swan, world's best treasurer you mean.
Rudd called him a crybaby. Gee Rudd can be as vicious as Latham, but crybaby Chalmers rolls off the tongue in a disturbingly Trumpian way. Don't just pick a bloke because he comes from Queensland.
Clare makes the team too Sydneycentric.
I don't mind Marles. He has some experience. I didn't catch his show with Pyne though. Was it a shambles?
Hahahaha, OK, yes, run with that, see what actual Australians think of that rather than what some snobby magazine with Davos influence says.

They listed Lehman Bros. as the best financial institution too.
Experience at what?
very ordinary union hack who forced his way into an unloseable seat, reads books on Curtin, daydreams about being the great leader and has done nothing for his seat or the country.
