Bloody hell!

Albo is a weak timid useless wimp.

Albanese clarifies position on temporary protection visas

By Mike Foley

Labor leader Anthony Albanese made an impromptu address to media in Cairns today to clarify the opposition’s position on temporary protection visas for asylum seekers.

At an earlier press conference, Albanese appeared to give the impression that there had been a change to party’s long-term position to oppose temporary protection visas (which are issued to asylum seekers who arrive in Australia without a visa).

A reporter asked, “Do you support the temporary protection visas?” Albanese replied: “Yes.”

Shortly afterwards, Albanese addressed the media.

“Earlier on I heard half the question,” Albanese said. “Labor’s policy is to support operation sovereign borders. We support offshore processing, we support resettlement in third countries. We don’t support temporary protection visas.”
Embarrassed

Earlier this week, Albanese said his preference was for boat turnbacks over the offshore detention of asylum seekers. The Labor leader was suggesting that offshore detention isn’t needed when asylum seekers aren’t arriving by boat.

The Coalition seized on these remarks and sought to make border protection an election fight.

Albo should have had the balls to say that the current mode of placing people overseas for vetting and then rejecting them even if positive is finished - and those positively vetted can come here. Those who don't pass the test will always and always have been sent on their way.

NOBODY ever said that there were no 'sovereign borders' and that it was open season to just show up here and stay. The borders are no less 'open' when someone arrives here by plane and claims asylum. They still get the same processing, but are somehow allowed to stay if they pass the test, while 'boat people' who pass the test are thrown to the wolves.

This entire issue is utter bullshit and Albo hasn't the balls to call it what it is.

Everyone is so afraid of 'boat people' when the real disasters are imported on the planes......

Stop The Planes!

Booed alright. Embarrassed

I saw the video. The boos seemed to out do the cheers, which surprised me. Either way, he was dag trying to schmooz a demographic he doesn't really understand.

Labor is leaving it a bit late to change leaders aren't they?

I blame his handlers.... they didn't train him to be quick on his feet with the answers to ready-made questions. FFS - after his years in Parliament as some big gun he should know some answers and shoot back instantly with balls and firmness....

"Mr A - is Labor going to re-start the boats?"

"There is no real difference between a person arriving by boat and one arriving by plane and claiming asylum - they are all handled by the same rules and standards, or should be if we are to act oike human beings and care a bit! Next question?"

"Is Labor going to allow expanded coal mining?"

"In the short term, we need to meet our international agreements to provide resources of all kinds - as for our local Australian infrastructure - we are planning to continue and expand the concepts of solar and wind and other alternatives."

"Does that include nuclear?"

"The jury is still out on that one, but a Labor government will certainly be looking at it as part of a potential mix. We do, after all, need baseline power 24/7. Nuclear will be an issue for the Austrlian people to decide for themselves."

"Is Labor going to give the Indigenous a Voice in Parliament."

"That will be for the Australian people as a whole to decide...."

"What is your personal view on that idea?"

"My personal view - that has nothing to do with what the Australian people decide they want with this one. I don't plan to influence anyone one way or the other."

What is Albanese's view on transgender participation in women's sport?

Mr Albanese says the matter is covered by the Sex Discrimination Act.

When pushed on his personal view by journalists, he said "girls should be able to play sport against girls and boys should be able to play sport against boys".

"It's covered by the Sex Discrimination Act."

So, Albo agrees with Deves. Shocked

Seems like it....

I went to the Bowlero yesterday for a drink - said to the bar - "I identify as a billionaire!"

Nobody lined up for a free drink... WTF?? I'm a billionaire if I say so - so there!!
