As usual the ACCC are late to the party. The price gouging companies have already been named and shamed by those evil people on social media. LNP and their corporate donor mates don't give a shit.

The same reason someone like Marshall proposes a new basketball stadium in the middle of a global pandemic whilst ambulances are ramping - donors.

Gillard and Turnbull suffered from being in teams that didn't deserve them.
my politics doesnt easily align with tony windsor, but i understand hes well respected ..... and regarded as a straight shooter
he rates gillard ...... thats a fair endorsement i reckon
[edit] you only have to look at the way shes conducted herself post politics .... a class act and massive loss to australian politics

Both would have done a fair bit better than Scumo I’d say.

Gillard, yes, but Turnbull showed he didn't have the backbone to push back against his opponents within his own party. Rudd proved he was intelligent and good in a crisis during the GFC, he would have done well. Abbott would have been more inclined to do the hard work but could he put his ideology aside in order to introduce things like JobKeeper?

Gillard is so underrated in the history of Australian politics.
- First female PM in a hugely misoginistic country and parliament
- Minority government
- Hostile press - actually beyond hostile
- Hostile and hugely misoginistic opposition
- Actually got a shit load of legislation passed
Gillard got more done in a few short years than Howard ever got done.
Rudd burnt way too many bridges within his own party. In any field you can't treat people the way he did and expect a functioning work group
I think once you get to a pandemic The LNP wouldn’t & couldn’t oppose whatever turnball wanted to do. It would be ammunition for the ALP for a decade to come. Abbott I think would have used JK just like Scumo imo but he wouldn’t have wanted to let go control to the states so much. They’ve basically ran the country for two years. There’s no way he’d let that happen. Rudd had the runs on the board getting us through the GFC like you say so he’d be the perfect person who could have steered us through this all without the mess that Scumo has created.

Well if it happened to your friends...
think of the money lost since the scrapping of gillards ets ..... think of the level of investment in renewables and carbon neutral tech that money could have funded .... think of the income potential that investment could of created in terms of goods and knowledge
abbott is a f$%king disgrace .... as is every piece of $hit that enabled his destructive path to power
and to think ....... the preacher man is worse ........ f$%k me drunk

Turnbull was such a disappointment.
Everyone should watch Strong Female Lead on SBS for a refresher on what she was up against.

It will do in current conditions.
My god I’m angry at everyone and everything today. I thought I had grown out of that over the past couple of years
Sadly after the last election Labor won't give any ammunition to the Libs who don't have any policy anyway.
What did he actually say?
Nice, true but not the point as people choose to vilify Murdoch/Sky whilst praising the public broadcaster.
We all know the editorial leaning of both & that is what is at play here.
I disagree.
A Labor Opposition worth their skin would be saying "These tests are vital to the national health and the national economy, and it shouldn't even be debated as to whether or not they're free - any debate is an insult to our values as Australians, and if Morrison has the instinct to price average Aussies out of these tests, what's next?"
Yes they lost the 2019 election by playing big-target, but they nearly won the 2016 election on Medicare.
Health is an election winner for Labor. Fudging leadership on it is inexcusable.

Yes I just watched his little talk, gee he is a very average speaker. He waits for Morrison to do or not do something and then criticises. He has to come up with something himself. If Labor lose the unlosable again, surely they must change the way they pick the leaders. Albo is just a poor copy of Shorten. I'll wait for the stream of abuse.
