I am genuinely sad that I keep being reminded of:

    @No1 it’s a shame the debates are limited to only Labor and the LNP. At the last election, 1 in 3 Aussies voted third party or independent, so it would have been good to have more viewpoints represented. That’s why there were calls on social media yesterday for #IncludeAdam.

    I actually thought Albanese won this one pretty clearly. Dutton got absolutely shit on by Speers on nuclear and climate change and all the international relations/foreign affairs stuff played right into Labor’s hands, which is bizarre considering it’s one of Dutton’s favourite topics and supposed strengths. Imagine having to actually apologise for an IR blunder during the live debate where you are trying to portray yourself as a strong leader on the global stage.

      absolutely shit on by Speers

      Others will view it as a biased moderator from a biased ABC …

      “He didn’t interrupt Albanese!”

        The irony is that some on the left also think Speers and the ABC are biased against their side of politics.

      Remember when Dutton was “ beating the drums of war” with China when he was defence minister before the last election?
