Do you reckon Albanese would have got away with "Google it" on such a key figure as the unemployment rate...No way in the world. It would have been seen as not taking it seriously and being disrespectful...and as good as an acknowledgement he didn't know the answer.

There are different standards.

The most skilful politicians are able to deflect answering the question, and then change it and deliver the message that they want people to hear.

The fact these imbeciles don't know this is amazing.

I don't think Albanese would have got away with it because he doesn't have the delivery or the ability to think on his feet.  Kennett would have got away with it, as would have Hawke and Keating (if Google was around then) and probably several others.  It's not just the "Google it" one-liner but the follow up highlighting key election issues that gave Bandt the points.

Looked at the Greens policies and its High School economics with free hemp showbags.....promise the world, make everything free and let anyone into the country. Then you search on their website for how they are going to pay for all these free services and you find that we are relying on being able have a wealth tax on all the billionaires like Gina, Clive, Twiggy etc.....its a noble idea to extract from the rich and give to the poor Robin Hood style but for a party wanting to hold the balance of power they need to come up with something better.
The NY times had it right when they said name a tax and there’s a way to reduce it, delay it or not ever really pay it, if you have the right adviser. Think Joe Biden ran with a over tax the wealthy policy and it lasted about a day before it was benched and previous US Presidents including Trump of all people tried their luck as well in this area. Good luck to Adam Bandt but he wont be getting my vote based on what I read about their policies...

This is really the conundrum, because there is no way in hell though the history of Australian Politics that a bloke like Scomo gets a second gig, but the opposition is so intensely similar and pissweak I fear it will happen.

In the annals of Australian political history the Scomo section will be a name, at start date and a finish date with no other content in between, perhaps just some ellipsis!

Scomo might well be rewarded for delivering even less than mediocrity!

I wouldn't let them run a milk bar let alone a country. Their bright idea is Tax the living hell out of billionaires and get them give up their profits to fund the bludgers. Good luck with that.

Unfortunately, I viewed his speech ... OZ to become a net exporter of green energy?

Really?  What a tool.

Electile dysfunction; the failure to be aroused by any of the political parties nominating candidates for the coming election.

The Greens, like all other minor parties past, present and future, can promise whatever they like because they’ll never have the chance to implement their policies.
