Election 2022 (Poll added)

[Lods]

I don't think Albanese would have got away with it because he doesn't have the delivery or the ability to think on his feet.  Kennett would have got away with it, as would have Hawke and Keating (if Google was around then) and probably several others.  It's not just the "Google it" one-liner but the follow up highlighting key election issues that gave Bandt the points.

But don't you think Bandt's "follow up" got lost.
I didn't hear anything about it...it was all about the 'google' bit.
That's what got the airplay on the news and in the media.

What was the message on the first day....Albo's gaffe.

Reality is the little incidents like that are going to play in the general public as much as any policy stuff.
(As much as we'd like to think otherwise.)

It will be about "what's best for me", "impressions" left by the major participants....and whether people think it's time for something different.
