“The Australian Financial Review editorialised against this essay this morning with the rather blunt headline that ‘Chalmers’ new manifesto ignores all the lessons of Hawke and Keating’, suggesting Mr Chalmers was taking up a kind of socialist agenda,” Mr Clennell said. “I do feel that generally speaking, there is a little bit of tension between Anthony Albanese and Jim Chalmers, with Chalmers pushing policy more to the left than Albanese.
“There is a view in the Labor Party too that Mr Chalmers no doubt has an agenda to appeal to the Labor Party membership in order to one day get their votes for the leadership.”

‘Further tightening’ of NT alcohol restrictions expectedWe can expect by the end of the week a “further tightening” of alcohol restrictions in the Northern Territory by the federal government, says Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “With the likely introduction of opt-out alcohol restrictions in Aboriginal communities, not the current system of opt-in,” Mr Clennell said. “When it came to the meeting between the Prime Minister and the Northern Territory government and Indigenous groups in Alice Springs last Tuesday, I understand the outcome that was announced to tighten takeaway alcohol sales and have two alcohol-free days had been worked out by officials before the meeting.” “But in the meeting, the PM was quite strong in his advocacy for the opt-in, opt-out change.”
