Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s address to the Labor Party National Conference lacked any major new policy ideas with Sky News Australia’s Political Editor Andrew Clennell saying the audience needed a “gold star for sitting through that”.
The party’s first meeting of delegates from all levels of government to finalise its official platform since winning the 2022 federal election kicked off in Brisbane on Thursday.
“There wasn’t much new, I think we all need a gold star for sitting through that to be quite frank,” Clennell said in Brisbane outside the 49th ALP National Conference. Mr Albanese was forced to maintain focus on what Labor had already delivered as his government tries to navigate mitigating cost of living pressures without further adding to inflation.“What the PM wanted to do was remind people over and over again what the government is doing in terms of cheaper medicines, Medicare and some of those rebates for lower income earners.”
But in a bid to placate the left faction Foreign Minister Penny Wong has strengthened the government’s language describing Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory as “illegal”.
