Anthony Albanese may be the first federal leader of the Australian Labor Party to hail from the Socialist Left. However, his track record in New South Wales shows that he rose to his current position by collaborating with the party’s right wing to crush genuine ALP socialists.
He's even a shit leader of his own party, failing to seize on any potential attacks against Morrison. I've made this same point a while back in some other post but the point still stands: Any half-competent politician would have ridden Morrison's Hawaiian holiday to the next election or at least milked it, but Albanese did civility politics like an absolute fuckwit.
