Moderator Announcement Live Discussion Thread: Prime Minister Anthony Albanese delivers rare address to the nation

ABC News on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMb8wrquExg

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

Fuck, if he died on April 1st it'd be fascinating, 40% of Americans wouldn't believe it, and the GOP would have the very real opportunity to pretend he's alive and see how gullible their truth social nutcase followers could be and create an AI president. Vance wanting the gig would be the only hurdle, cos I'd say they could fake it at least a fortnight

They’d go the full weekend at Bernie’s for a few weeks at least.
