The real, Fake Albo stands up

And here he is:

Anthony Albanese has told Labor’s true believers the party needs to set itself up to govern for the long term if it is to leave a lasting legacy, and that requires having strong credentials on national security and the economy, and not breaching trust with voters on policy promises like the stage three tax cuts.

Lost on this charming man is that the pursuit of power by any means no change at all.

Meet the real Fake Albo:

  • power hungry;
  • narcissistic;
  • nihilistic;
  • worker hating;
  • money-grubbing;
  • corporate whoring;
  • number crunching.

The hollow man from hell.

Indeed, he already has.
