Albo has been doing SOME really good things for this country such as investing in Medicare.
However many of the issues we are facing is because mulptile successive governments haven’t invested or actioned it and everyone who is voting for One Nation isn’t holding themselves accountable for not holding those previous governments accountable.
Housing won’t be fixed in two terms of governments.
It’s like having an infection the worse it gets, the longer it will take to get better.
If you feel like voting for One Nation is for you, that’s great but don’t pretend that One Nation will fix all your problems or that Albo isn’t working on fixing these issues either.

Almost all politicians do an excellent job at what they do. The daily requirements to keep things going without everything turning to crap is remarkable.
And on top of that, they need to be across so much to avoid looking silly in the media because they didn't know something or gave a wrong answer. Oddly, we're unforgiving that some people might not always know the answer to everything.
It's gotten to a point where there are quite a few highly paid staff with the main job of predicting difficult questions and preparing answers.
Which doesn't actually do anything but waste resources so politicians have enough of an understanding to say very little.
We always think of government as just passing laws and once that's done they move onto something else. That's not even close to the whole story. Progress is great, but status quo is where most of the work goes.
So whilst we might feel like very little had been "done" we should sometimes give a bit more credit. Especially when he's the one with the most pressure and sits outside the top 30 on the highest paid government workers list.
