Especially when even the ABC interview Frydenberg, Patterson and Dutton all on the same morning, but no one from the government. Hardly balanced coverage

Although this is paywalled, it is possible to read by going to your local (or state) library website and accessing their e-library. For reasons of vanity the AFR is paywalled for 3 days, while other media is instantly available.

Politicians rely on their advisors. Albanese has been badly advised, just as Julia Gillard was.

Why bother ? Just focus on the rest of the nation as there seems to be no pleasing either side .

Seems like they have a balanced approach then!

Unable to read $. However, it is easily argued that Lab was dragged kicking & screaming to vote with the UN on Palestine. This was after they procrastinated, voted with US & Israel while watching genocide play out live. Only after massive & irreversible destruction & death did Lab try to be friends.

Isn't the sane place to play the ball rule of law?

No fear or favour to any religion or race but even application of the laws of Australia to all?

Well - what’s worse? You want the alternative? With no policies? Either costed or not? In the end, Labor has no control over wars in the world, no control over the RBA - despite what that thug keeps saying, he has nothing - except his record in the former LNP government.

Want to vote for that?

It must be humanitarian to all but clearly act to distance itself from violence and genocide. It took too long to call out Israel
