Pushin’ and shovin’ in the campaign
Reports this morning say Labor leader Anthony Albanese’s colleagues have told him to “get across the detail” of his policies after another stumble on the campaign trail. He couldn’t remember the 6 points of the Labor’s NDIS policy – he attempted to deflect the question several times before getting a copy of the policy from his advisers. He then found the page and delivered the lines. Totes awks, his internal critics say. Last night on ABC TV’s Q&A, Albanese said he was frustrated that the campaign is focused on “soundbites rather than philosophies and values”. Meanwhile, PM Scott Morrison has told the Financial Review (paywall) that he can win the election despite the polls saying otherwise. ”People have not made up their mind, and they’re looking to determine what is going to drive their choice. We’re not at push comes to shove, yet.” Pre-poll voting opens on Monday.
