''Has Albo ever had a proper job or owned a business?''

there is a continual crazy debate on what politicians should have done prior to political life to be good leaders

well - personally ------ I don't think owning a business is such a great idea, nor do I think 'proper' job is a necessity - but, depending on what the job was -------- it might be of some advantage


what to me are clear attributes are things like

a stable life
honesty
guts and will and diplomacy
EDUCATION

for people who put up ---------- 'a business background' ------------ well, that's lovely - except there are some absolute bastards in business who do well

then, we see people who worked in business like the great scotty ------- hmmm, didn't get a lot out of that one

and, what's a 'real job?'

priest
lawyer
milkman
rubbish truck driver
carpenter


it's a load of bollocks - the whole discussion -

what one needs in a leader are things like -

leadership skills
honesty and integrity
EDUCATION
smart
diplomatic skills
negotiation skills
people skills
a strong desire to do all for their country and think about themselves least of all
HAVE a place where they want their country to go - AND be able to express that and get people to come with them on the journey
