So what is wrong with this article? I will explain why it's thrust is so wrong. 1. The Labor Movement is a social Democratic movement. Anthony Albanese @AlboMP was elected leader of that movement. ....theguardian.com/australia-news…

2. The basis of Labor Policy is derived from the National platform, which is voted on Democratically at a democratically representative membership (also voted on). this is an open forum which can be attended by the Press. alp.org.au/2021nationalpl…

So Anthony Albanese @AlboMP is NOT a lone Wolf and he doesn't make up Labor policy. That is tweaked by the parliamentary Party based on the National Platform. The national Platform is 157 pages long. Curiously many Journalists haven't read the platform because they repeat the

lies that the Morrison government put out about Labor policy. 4. Labor people don't vote on how skinny or how fat @AlboMP is or whether he wears Blue suits or pink ones. We vote on his values and his bearing toward the whole Australian community. We don't deal in the Inane crap

the press go on with like they did with Shorten that no one likes him. 5. What matters to Australian labor people is the comprehensiveness of the policy platform that Anthony Albanese @AlboMP and the party take to the election. 6. That platform is the basis to govern a country...

7. So what of the Alternative. Well firstly they tell you they like individuals working for themselves (Bugger the unemployed, the sick, the disabled, the Aged). It's a case of "I am alright Jack". It shows in their Web pages and their paucity of policy documentation. Their lack

of substance dealing with Climate change, their corruption of grants and their failure to collect company tax which would have paid for the services that they had to cut because of their poor money management. There is no Democratic plan from their membership because it's all

made up in their plethora of right wing think tanks posing as policy determinants. 8. this brings us to the press and articles like this which seek to mischaracterise the fight between labor and Conservatives. Ever since I have watched the press, i have been astonished at the

number of "Stump" articles. By Stump article i mean the generic article about say a) tax reform, b) the police and safety c) Defence and safety d) keeping the borders safe e) spending more on Education when they have really cut. What the press (generally) don't do is to actually

do some research, to crunch some numbers. Read an act of parliament of perchance the constitution and the biosecurity Act 2015 and see who's responsibility it actually is to do something about Quarantine and biohazards. look at the tax reports and see what proportion of entities

don't pay any tax in Australia each year. Instead of saying "They all do it" (Which incidentally I have proven to be false.) actually do the work. Do some journalism. Some do and they are good at it. 9. Another thing the press don't do is move with the times. They call the

internet the digital disruption. it's not disrupting anything save the monopoly of the press to manipulate the consumer of news. They seem to pine for the return of the old days when the press reigned supreme and were never questioned. Those times are over. Twitter and Social

Media generally are the new Letters to the editor, you can always publish, can never be edited and can't be censored. many home truths come out in Social media. funny that every so called journalist on here has open Dm's. 10 So finally Anthony Albanese @AlboMP is no loan wolf, he

is backed by a whole movement of volunteers who want rid of the conservatives, he has a very talented and balanced (Female/Male) team. He's talking about inclusiveness and community. This article severely mischaracterises him and the labor movement generally. He's all substance

Labor Substance and always has been. This is a clash of ideas and ideals ones which labor have clearly set out in their platform and which is a sold basis for government. All we have on the other side is a phalanx of motherhood statements, slogans and announcements and abject

failure. What was it Morrison said to Anabel Crabb. "I just don't care" That is the difference Anthony Albanese does and always has. @AlboMP End.
