Is Anthony Albanese just plain delusional, or simply the most sleazy piece of shit ever to occupy the Lodge? Either way, he’s surely the only person on God’s good Earth who’d believe his particular brand of towering bullshit.
Nobody believed him about the “Voice” referendum – and the majority voted accordingly. Just one-third of Australians believed him about lowering electricity prices – until bitter experience taught them otherwise. Now, nearly all Australians expect their bills to keep rising and they know who’s to blame.
But Albanese’s self-delusion hasn’t stopped. In fact, it’s got worse. After dragging his heels, kicking and screaming, against a royal commission, until literally hundreds of the most eminent Australians forced him to backflip, Albanese came right back with the most bizarre take imaginable.
Instead of having the decency to cop the ignominy of being shamed into finally doing the right thing, Albanese came out bragging. Yes, bragging. He had, he boasted, called a royal commission “in record time”.
If that wasn’t brazen enough, just a day after apologising for failing to protect Jewish Australians from the shocking tidal wave of anti-Semitism that culminated in mass murder at Bondi, the PM has pivoted to blame-shifting. He’s not to blame, after all – it’s all Scott Morrison’s fault.
Anthony Albanese has attempted to shift blame for the genesis of Australia’s antisemitism crisis to his predecessor Scott Morrison, sparking an extraordinary war with the former Liberal prime minister who defended his record and labelled the Labor leader “delusional and cheap”.
Just a day after telling parliament and the families of the Bondi massacre victims that it was his responsibility to eradicate antisemitism, Mr Albanese and Sussan Ley engaged in a heated and partisan question time where the Labor leader repeated his claims that he had been working on a royal commission despite opposing it publicly for 25 days and tried to attack the opposition leader for failing to present a bill based on her own antisemitism policy points.
What an absolute hide this little creep has.
Morrison isn’t having any of his sleazy bs.
The former coalition prime minister hit back by accusing Mr Albanese “of being driven by politics rather than principle”, and saying he believed Australians would see through the Labor leader, in one of the most blistering critiques of a former prime minister on their immediate replacement in recent Australian history.
“When asked by the many members of the Jewish community, particularly as I attended synagogues, funerals, memorials and other events following the December 14 attacks about my support for the Jewish community and opposition to antisemitism, my answer has been simply that it is instinctive. It is a natural consequence of everything I have believed my whole life on these issues,” Mr Morrison told the Australian.
“By his own actions, Mr Albanese clearly has very different instincts, driven by politics rather than principle, as was on display again today.”
While anti-Semitism has been rising for years, nothing previous has remotely compared to the horror show of the past two years. Two years when Scott Morrison wasn’t within coo-ee of parliament, let alone the PM’s office.
While he quoted a 59 per cent rise in antisemitic incidents between 2017 and 2018 that actually occurred when Malcolm Turnbull was in power, Mr Albanese accused Mr Morrison’s government of failing to deal with a rise in antisemitism under his watch.
Mr Albanese did not mention the 316 per cent rise in antisemitic incidents between 2023 and 2024 in the aftermath of the October 7 attacks and under a Labor government.
[Emphasis added.]
It was on Albanese’s watch that Western Sydney erupted into joyous celebrations and fireworks when the world woke to the horror of October 7.
He did nothing. In fact, the PM didn’t even acknowledge the monstrous atrocity for a full 24 hours. Unlike nearly every world leader, Albanese has steadfastly refused to visit Israel.
It was on Albanese’s watch that a Muslim mob stormed the Sydney Opera House, chanting “Gas the Jews”. He did nothing. It wasn’t until months later that he even deigned to visit a synagogue.
The weekly anti-Semitic hate demonstrations, the firebombings of Jewish homes, schools and synagogues – through it all, Albanese and his government not only failed to take meaningful action, they sided with the forces of anti-Jewish hate. His crowning shame was rewarding Hamas by recognising a “Palestinian” state.
Mr Morrison is currently preparing to go to Israel with Rabbi Yehoram Ulman – a leader of Sydney’s Chabad Jewish community and the father-in-law of Bondi victim Eli Schlanger – to attend an international conference on antisemitism to be led by [Israeli President Isaac Herzog]. The former prime minister told the Australian that Mr Albanese’s singling out of him was a diversionary tactic that he believed Australians would see through.
“Given this record, Australians will no doubt recognise the delusional and cheap diversionary nature of the prime minister’s remarks today and how our responses to recent events would have certainly differed,” Mr Morrison said.
“On my watch, zero tolerance on antisemitism would have meant exactly that in practice and would have been evident throughout, especially following October 7.”
But then, Scott Morrison never spent his early parliamentary career attending anti-Israel rallies and siding with the forces of anti-Semitic hate.
We see through you, Anthony Albanese, you odious little creep.
