Why was David Marr so obsessed that Chris Hedges' tour was being organised by an anti-genocide advocacy group, but not at all concerned that the National Press Club is sponsored by the wealthiest, most complicit genocide enabling weapons manufacturers in the entire world? 🤷♂️

Albanese has been a major disappointment, a parliamentary lifer who for years chased the ambulance & then didn’t know what to do when he caught it.
Dutton is dangerously incompetent & cruel, he has a history of going MIA when the going gets tough.
Expect the same.

If Albanese wins the next election he should celebrate, then step aside
If Anthony Albanese loses next year, which once seemed improbable and now looks possible, he will shoulder much of the blame and his legacy will be trashed.
