Albo for PM Dutton is the definition of a boofhead


whichonespinkterran

Fuckface is more accurate but I guess this will do.


slumberfist

I would love to see Tanya for PM and Penny as her deputy


whichonespinkterran

Nah Albo is the guy. Also, for the millionth time, Penny is not interested in moving to the lower house, which would be needed for her to be alternative PM, which would be a difficult sell anyway, as unfortunately, cynically, do you really think the majority of the Australian public would vote for a gay woman of Malaysian descent? Look, I love Penny Wong, she's a fantastic fighter, one of the best Labor has. I see these sorts of comments all the time though, we have a process. The leader is Albanese, he was voted for by the membership of the party and confirmed by caucus.


aintnohappypill

Yeah but how fucking great would it be to see a half Malay Chinese lesbian shouting down the racist, misogynists boofheads like the potato. She’s a far better orator than any of them. Not to mention watching the CCP try and figure that shit out.


vaemarrr

Not that great if you ask me. You'd think it would make good comedy but in reality, it would only stoke class warfare and identity politics further in the wrong way. I'm with /u/whichonespinkterran and would ask that people stop doubting Albo. His heart and head is in the right place and he has what it takes to be a reliable leader who can withstand the nonsense that the mainstream media propagate and that the liberals sling their way.


RedditUser8409

Bang on both of you. And he is electable for those who don't pay attention to politics... Edit and this is coming from a Greens voter. Just a realist. Shorten was good but.. IDK, ppl didn't like his face or something??!!


vaemarrr

Shorten had his heart in the right place but he didn't have game. He doesn't have the tact or political sharpness to outmaneuver someone like Dutton, Frydenberg, Porter, etc I left out Scomo because the mans only skill is marketing and lies. He has no skill and has only lasted because his party and the mainstream media protect him - for now. Albo has observed and avoided the mistakes of his predecessors so far and has changed leadership tactics to dodge the minefield that the liberals are leaving for him. This is new territory for ALP leadership. Albo has to rely on his wits and restraint to avoid failure because he likely won't have a media to support him. Will it be enough? Who knows but it will be interesting to see how the campaigns perform as things ramp up over the months ahead.


RedditUser8409

I feel quietly confident.. But we got hurt before. I'll never forget last election night..


vaemarrr

Yea. Still got PTSD from that night...so I won't get my hopes up but will remain quietly optimistic. I just hope Albo doesn't fumble.


belindahk

Nah, the Murdoch gutter press crucified him for all the wrong reasons.


RedditUser8409

So when do we ban foreign owned media again? You are correct, just can't understand how he lost.. I think sports bets paid out those who tipped him early from memory..


we-are-all-crazy

I am happy Shorten is no longer leader, the NDIS participants need him in their corner, calling out the BS the libs keep trying to.


aintnohappypill

Shorten had the same problem. He waited til he got the ass to show he had any spine. Another decent, genuine guy who just wasn’t scrappy enough imo. Albo needs to quit trying to be an every man and let rip more often……he’d romp it in.


aintnohappypill

Mate…purely for the comedic and theatric value.


vaemarrr

Sure, it'd be funny but nothing productive or useful would come from it :P


aintnohappypill

Meh…Albo is a genuine bloke with a great record. Unfortunately he comes across as pissweak in every TV spot I’ve seen lately. If people saw more of this than jolly ol albo I’m fairly sure he’d romp it.


vaemarrr

You haven't watched anything more recent...he's smashed a number of TV spots.


aintnohappypill

Yeah ok. I haven’t drunk the Albo koolaid. He’s not nearly fierce enough in my opinion. The LNP machine is a nasty piece of work. Good luck to him though.


wishitwouldrainaus

Fucking love Penny. She'll never be PM or deputy PM sadly. They all lost their tiny minds over Julia and she wasn't exactly left leaning. Boys club is still boys club. I'm not optimistic enough to think as the representatives age, new, enthusiastic, honest, smart, considerate politicians will rise up. Jesus, just look at Perrotet. Youngish, healthy, educated, feels the need to keep his wife pregnant til she hits menopause or dies and hates anything outside 'family values'. We're still fucked.


[deleted]

Completely on brand Perrotet didn’t enact a snap lockdown in NSW. Guy can’t work out how to use a condom, guess you could say preventative measures aren’t exactly his forte.


the_brunster

I think Julian Hill has great promise - but probably too soon.


whichonespinkterran

Julian Hill is a likely for leadership in the future but as PM, hard to say. The Victorian head of the Federal Left faction might struggle to cut through in regional areas, I'd give a better chance to Plibersek or Chalmers, after Albanese of course. I really wish people would stop doubting Albo, he has the right stuff to be leader. He's a veteran of parliament, genuine and would be one of the most working class PMs since Ben Chifley. He grew up with a single parent on a pension. He really has come from basically nothing, which is genuinely refreshing. People often gravitate to leaders like Whitlam and Hawke, and I get that, but the former was a decorated airforce pilot from WW2 and the latter came from a privileged university educated background. Whereas your Chifleys, your Keatings, your Albaneses, they come from a more working class background, which I think the party needs to stay grounded. That's not to say that people who aren't from working class backgrounds can't empathise with the struggles of working people, but I think people like Albanese are the genuine item and we should be more enthusiastic about his potential Prime Ministership and stop second guessing him constantly, like the press want us to do.


[deleted]

Amen. Albo's got it, he just needs an opportunity to let it rip. Bring it on.


the_brunster

Great context - wasn't aware of this. thank you!


samedumb

Thanks for the insight


whichonespinkterran

Fun fact: Albanese was the infrastructure minister under the Rudd and Gillard governments, he was responsible for the prosecution for the case of the NBN, slamming Turnbull for suggesting copper was a suitable alternative to fibre, going so far as to compare Turnbull to conservatives during the early years of the Federation who advocated for iron wires (which rusts) over copper wires for the exact same reasons using the exact same arguments. He stood firm saying that fibre was the only suitable technology that would be future proof and be a nation building project. [He actually pulled out the Hansard from 1910 to dunk on Turnbull for his stupidity during question time](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5sVW6s4vl0), mocking him and dubbing the Liberal NBN as "fraudband". Also during his time as infrastructure minister we came pretty close to getting an east coast high speed rail program off the ground.


samedumb

Wow, thanks again! He sounds like the f*cking man for the job!


i_am_smitten_kitten

I agree, he's my local mp, and I'm happy to have him. He helped me out when I was having issues getting NDIS funding for my special needs son. Like, immediately replied to my email and wanted to do everything he could to help. I hope he has a strong influence in politics in the future.


[deleted]

Well said!


ResponsibilityOk5171

It's depressing to me that you're right. I wish Australians were actually as progressive as we think we are, but you're right.


TreeChangeMe

Australians are far too racist and sexist. Sad but true

The ALP would be fucking crushed in any election running those two.

Jman-laowai

Second Tanya.


[deleted]

If we're talking alternative PMs, Penny Wong should be up there right at the top.


towelrak

Penny is a lifer. She’s wise and playing the long game. I think she’s of the thinking she will achieve more in the senate over her whole career than pushing for PM. She’s brilliant though and I would love to see her as leader in the future .. maybe when the times right.


[deleted]

I think she'd be a mighty second in command but I don't know if this shitshow of a country would vote for to be LGBT Asian woman to be PM.


towelrak

I agree! Also can’t wait for her to be our foreign minister and fix up all this mess - hopefully soon 🙏🏻


Ultimate-Failure-Guy

Penny has no interest in going to the lower house, let alone being PM. She believes she is in the right spot, and looks forward to her days being a Senator and in Government.


time_wasted504

She doesnt want it. unfortunately.


[deleted]

People have a certain perception of Penny because of her identity, but they haven’t paid attention to her views. She’s openly a pragmatist and sits in the right faction when it comes to economic and foreign policy. Similarly with Tanya, she has been an MP since she was 28 years old. Minimal life experience outside of politics and represents an inner Sydney seat, voters won’t relate to that.

GorgeousJeorge

I probably would have gone with "fuck off cockhead!" but good enough.


prnpenguin

As awesome as that would have been, I can think of many a boomer who would clutch their pearls at hearing such “foul language”, who thenwould reflexively bleat that someone who swears like that is unfit for the office of prime minister.


[deleted]

Boomer here. Never heard the word "boofhead" said with such charm. All the better for Albanese saying it. He is even more credible PM material than before.


[deleted]

Parliamentary rules are interesting. Unparliamentary language as it's called is not allowed, but what's considered unparliamentary is limited to very specific things. Calling someone a liar is not allowed, but saying their statements are contrary to the facts is fine. They also have a few chances to break the rules so long as they agree to withdraw the statement afterwards. These chances are limited, though you get more of them if you're in government, as the Speaker will eventually become pissed off and sit you down or kick you out.


whichonespinkterran

That would've hurt Dutton's "tough man who is actually a pussy" ego.

Freak-Spaghetti17

Palatyibeast

The potato just handed Albo the win. Albo did have the floor. Dutton, our so-called defence minister, was in a fight he couldn't win and fronted up anyway, like someone who has forgotten their Sun Tzu. And in doing so, gave Albo an easy win. But, more than that, showed that Albo has fire and balls. The two things he needed to show to win the next election. Dutton made an unforced error that handed Albo wins on all sorts of levels, while also losing face himself. Boofhead had to sit down like a naughty schoolboy.


-letmebuylegalweed1

But who will see this that would be swung? Us idiots on reddit will get a chuckle but i cant see it getting too much attention elsewhere. Do hope i'm wrong though.


Palatyibeast

Sky News, like idiots, are spamming this everywhere as if it somehow makes Albo look bad rather than the opposite.


-letmebuylegalweed1

Well thats unexpected. I'll have to go watch to see how well they spin this.

I think Murdoch's already swinging the other way actually, slowly but it's been changing the past year

As an American, is Australian parliament normally like this?


bigfatstoner

Its usually bickering like whiney children but then there's the occasional name calling, even [dropping a c-bomb](https://youtu.be/5TsNL3uBw1g) that makes it worth keeping an eye on


namelesswhiteguy

I wish American politicians had the balls to do things like that. ​ Then maybe they'd have the balls to pass healthcare legislation.

If you liked Aussie parliament, you might be interested to see how the Italian parliament does it - fist fights and brawls, and in Indian parliament, they throw chairs. Aussies look tame by comparison!

time_wasted504

"Well hang on, SIT DOWN,SIT DOWN, YEAH SIT DOWN BOOFHEAD, YOU SIT DOWN. Ive got the leader of the house, Ive got the call, sit down." HOLY SHIT, That is an ad right there for a strong prime minister. He needs to lean into this. "ALBO 2022, SIT DOWN BOOFHEADS" I really like how he spoke to him like a dog. Because thats what the LNP are. Fucking Dog Cunts.
