Labor thinks it’s on to a winner with its efforts to tell voters Scott Morrison cannot be trusted, but scare campaigns are what Anthony Albanese will need to counter. | Rob Harris | ANALYSIS auspol AustraliaVotes
Anthony Albanese lives for, in his words, fighting Tories. And now he’s about to embark on the biggest fight he’s taken on in his 25-year career.
The Prime Minister wants to frame his opposite number as a man who wants to tell you what to do. As someone who doesn’t trust Australians to do the right thing and wants to either bribe them or impose decisions on them.It is, of course, a massive exaggeration to say Labor wants to force you to buy an electric car. Its policy at the last election was simply an aspirational target of 50 per cent new car sales by 2030. And even that policy is being reviewed.
“There are two things you can do about the future. You can either shape it in the interest of people, or you can sit back and pretend it’s not happening and allow the future to shape you.”Labor thinks it’s on to a winner with its efforts to tell voters Morrison cannot be trusted – either on his policies or his dealings with colleagues andAlbanese has long been a darling of the membership, with a public profile of a larrikin who plays his politics hard but loves a craft beer and a laugh.
. There is little doubt it will resonate. This is just not a swipe about Labor’s past policies – real or made up – it’s a not-so-subtle nod to overbearing state premiers.
