For UK Labour, “it’s time for real change”. For the ALP, “it’s time to double down on the ruinous neoliberal economics which got us into this mess.”

Labour’s 2019 manifesto is an inspiring and radical vision for radical social and environmental change for the many not the few.

Albo’s headland speeches are an inspiring and radical reheating of Howard’s economics.

In the video below you can see British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn struggle to list a raft of social and environmental policies which would radically improve the lives of millions of Britons inside 60 seconds.

In the article below you can read about Australian Labor leader Anthony Albanese’s struggle to list a raft of John Howard’s aphorisms which continue this nation’s neoliberal nightmare inside an hour.

According to this article, Albo believes a productivity revival, coupled with micro-economic reform “must also be complemented by sound fiscal policy”. Apparently Labor’s new economic framework must have “a soft heart and a hard head”.

Channelling the Godfather of the rebooted Labor Party, John Winston Howard, Albo says,

“I want to lead a fiscally responsible Labor government that invests with an eye firmly fixed on productivity, a Labor government that supports wealth creation as well as its fair distribution”.

“We will never be content to just drift in the tide of good fortune, but we will do what Labor does best – give Australians a strong and resilient economy from which all else flows.”

The centrepiece of Albo’s new plan, apart from fixating on economic growth, will be free copies of Lazarus Rising for the three unlucky Australians who still plan on voting Labor.
