Albanese criticism devoid of facts

News Limited’s Kylie Lang continues her relentless tirade against the Labor federal government and ne’er is there an adverse response to her criticism published.

She writes about waiting with bated breath to see if Anthony Albanese’s speech was going to thrust us into war in the Middle East. It has been made clear for several weeks that Australia, along with its non-US allies the UK, Canada, Spain and others were never going to be involved in offensive action in a war begun by Trump without consultation with any of them.

Lang adds that the Prime Minster said we have “nothing to worry about”. I challenge any journalist to find those words coming out of Albanese’s mouth in relation to this war. Factcheck denies this utterance.

Whatever she claims about contradictions between the PM and Treasurer, every city motorist would have experienced an immediate drop in the fuel price on Wednesday, the first day the excise reduction was due to kick in. News bulletins showed prices had already dropped substantially by Thursday when most motorists drove of for their long weekend. My provider had dropped its price 15c.

Notably when the Coalition are caught out being told to regurgitate fuel distribution anti-Labor scripts, Lang says “it doesn’t matter”. For her what’s good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Lang finally remarks that younger generation are “cheesed off” by the political process. How come then those younger voters voted almost wholesale for Labor and deserted the Coalition in droves?
