@moondoong; Albanese is beginning to realise just how naïve and unachievable his misplaced faith in the common decency of then likes of Peter Dutton has been.
He's finally beginning to realise - way too late - that he should NEVER have engaged in attempts at bipartisanship with Dutton re the Voice to Parliament, AUKUS, Israel's slaughter of Palestinian civilians, Border Force and the national interest.
The decision by Bill Shorten to walk off into the sunset has left Albanese looking like the Emperor without any clothes. And his second-in-line ... Marles is one fo those Dutton types who's "All the way with the good ol' USA".
We're headed for minority government, fingers crossed the new cross benchers are like Helen Haines.
