Anthony Albanese announces a half a billion-dollar stadium in Hobart, looking for praise after submarines and tax cut money for rich people didn’t work out so well.
Excellent thank you. As a part-time Tasmanian I’m utterly appalled by this decision of the government, especially a s a majority of Tasmanians do not want the stadium! It will be an eyesore and will completely ruin the ambience of that end of Hobart’s waterfront. It’s wasteful extortion by the grubby and greedy AFL. The ALP will never get my first preferences ever again. I despise this pissweak and spineless PM. He’s sold out his constituency and wasted what should have been a huge social mandate for change. Instead it’s just more of the same as we had for the unending corruption and squalor of the Morrison’s time in office. Bring on the revolution!!
Once again Albanese and Co have demonstrated the range of spending choices available to the federal government. It is a deliberate political choice of government to build a football stadium before providing housing for the populace, and tax cuts for those earning over $180k while those on Newstart are forced to exist on $50 per day.
Albanese and his neoliberal mates believe that Morrison like policies, minus the sleaze, will suffice. The Blairite actions of this "progressive" government can only produce even greater inequality, and an even more dysfunctional economy.
Each day I hope for the emergence of an Australian Mick Lynch, or the resurrection of Jack Mundy or John Halfpenny to lead the working class in a revolt against the current crowd that preside over a set of institutions deliberately designed to provide cover for a corporate world that daily commits crimes against humanity.
During the election campaign, on a daily basis, Albanese spoke of his formative years, raised by his invalid mother, and living in public housing. How quickly the class traitor forgot his roots!

Great article, thanks Joel.

Brilliant and perfect. Labor has dropped the ball spectacularly.
