''17 trips in 18 months bye the way John Howard average was 7 trips a year labor just keeps spending''

John Howard headed the do nothing government ------------- if you do nothing - then, you don't need to go anywhere


Albo is running about the world - at least making some friends - AND he's running about Oz - talking to Ozzies and learning about them

people want leaders to 'be in touch' with their people ---------- there's only one way to do that ------ go see them.

And that's what Albo is doing.

When John Howard went to Tasmania and visited an area near Riana/Gunns Plains - he was surprised -------- he said, 'I didn't know we had places like this in Australia'

well, we do and we did ---------- and maybe he should have travelled a lot more ---- because that statement alone showed us that he didn't know his country

if Albo is getting to know his country AND he's making foreign contacts ------- that is a good thing. Because there is one certainty -

Australia is totally dependent on the rest of the world -------- end of story.

So, it's a good thing if Oz's leader is travelling and getting to know people - if he can pick up the phone or visit or get them to come - then, that is a very good thing.
