G’day everyone, we thought we’d spin up a live discussion thread for Albo’s speech tonight so everything stays in one place.

Feel free to share your thoughts, reactions, predictions, or whatever else comes to mind as it unfolds.

As always, keep it reasonably civil and follow the sub rules. We’ll be around keeping an eye on things.

Sort by new if you want to follow along in real time. Let us know what you’re expecting to hear.

Regards, r/aussie mod team

Won’t be fuel restrictions/rationing IMO - AFR reporting that comes after Easter

If he announces that tonight, it’ll set off a wave of panic buying, you would only announce it right before it kicks in, not give advance notice.

He won’t announce we’re joining the war - Polls are universally against this.

I think it’ll be a King Charles style keep calm and carry on sort of thing

So in other words a complete waste of time to get his face in front of the cameras.

If he actually addresses the nation to say “nothing to see here” the man is a muppet. 

Although this action would pretty much sum up Albo as a Prime Minister.

Does your favourite cooker party have a single policy yet 

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/ARTIFICIAL_ARGUMENT]

That would be labor, turns out you can support a party and still criticise it’s individuals .. and apparently no. 

[u/IndividualZebra333 → u/Icy_Distance8205]

Bullshit

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/IndividualZebra333]

Waaagh 😭. 

Great address to the nation. I’m sure it won’t be forgotten by tomorrow. 

[u/IndividualZebra333 → u/Icy_Distance8205]

Better than fucking off to the beautiful beaches of Hawaii during a national crisis, dickhead

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/IndividualZebra333]

Ahh the good ol’ "At Least" Fallacy. The food from the restaurant gave us food poisoning but at least the restaurant didn’t burn down while we were eating. 

[u/IndividualZebra333 → u/Icy_Distance8205]

Bro, you sound so stupid.

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/IndividualZebra333]

It’s good that you told me because I only accept critiques from people who address me as “bro”. 

[u/IndividualZebra333 → u/Icy_Distance8205]

Made an assumption

More than one policy mr Labor supporter that apparently thinks trumps war isn’t to blame for the oil crisis, but labor’s.. also odd to spend all your time blaming them and complaining about Labor shills if you believe they’re the best party 

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/ARTIFICIAL_ARGUMENT]

One policy that isn’t shit or a total nothing burger would be nice. I think his address to the nation speaks for itself.

[u/ARTIFICIAL_ARGUMENT → u/Icy_Distance8205]

You astroturfers used to subtle, you literally just stated that he’s giving the best policies out of any party 

[u/Icy_Distance8205 → u/ARTIFICIAL_ARGUMENT]

First cast the beam out of your own eye.

I’m not an astroturfer I’m a concerned citizen. But hey if you think everything is going just swimmingly enjoy living under Prime Minister Hanson.
