I'll just preface this by saying I'm very much a centrist in terms of my political viewpoints and I voted for a different party in the last State election than the one I voted for in the last Federal election.
I'm still very much undecided about this one.
But something that won't influence my vote one iota is Albanese not getting 10/10 on his oral exam.
Now it's a given that Anthony Albanese should be across some of the major points of his parties policies and also pretty up to date with major statistics.
But for heavens sake.
It's now all about trapping Albo.
It's Albo hunting season.
The journos are not interested in general policy, they're only interested in the kill.
They are falling over themselves to be the ones to get him to fumble with an answer...and they are the ones who are ending up looking stupid as they try to trap him.
It may hurt him, the optics aren't great, but...
Rather than being a negative, a lot of ordinary, undecided folks would be sympathetic to him being subjected to this rubbish.
The interview with Allison Langdon on channel 9 this morning was actually cringeworthy, and a pointless waste of time, as she made a big deal about him referring questions to the accompanying shadow ministers at pressers. The folks who actually had responsibility for those portfolios.
What's the point of having them there if they aren't there for a question or two.
The NDIS problem later in the day was probably a bit more damaging, but the bloke isn't a robot, and you would have to be a computer brain to remember every point of your plans across the entire spectrum of your policy.
The question asking him to specifically name each point was designed not to garner a policy position. It was designed to catch him out.
The journos have now turned their focus to this form of questioning.
It's what's getting publicity...and kudos amongst their peers.
Langdon's mates were giggling in the background while she went at Albo.
I'm sure they'll catch Morrison out at some stage...they've tried already.
Excuse the rant, I'm a big believer in fairness, and I find this type of stuff just childish.
