@ Sheepdog

The official Reserve Bank cash rate and The national unemployment rate are set numbers that change slightly over time and are very relevant to the job of being PM.

And it wasn't just one figure he didn't know but both.

The price of bread or fuel are not set price things, they vary hugely on brand or type of bread where they are sold, even fuel varies in price from unleaded, premium, diesel and from day to day suburb to suburb.

And not very relevant to being PM i doubt most people know the prices of bread of even fuel, you just buy them, generally the brands you know and trust.

So slomo also got the figure wrong for the cash rate ……. Big deal …….. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-04-11/albanese-election-cash-rate-gotch...

Nice try but the "Reserve Bank's cash rate is currently 0.1 per cent."

Thats the official rate and different to what banks then pass on, same deal with interest rates, what the banks decide to do is often a very different thing.

There is an official RBA set rate and then each bank has different home loan rates, off course we dont expect anyone to then state ANZ rate, Commonwealth rate, Westpacs rate NAB rate etc and then slightly different rates for different loans, obviously we just expect the basic set rate to be known.

Albo has already failed the first test, total train wreck of first day of campaigning and he has got it easy, he's the opposition leader just has to remember a few basic things, completely different to being the PM and campaigning where you are going into communities where many dont like you and try to get you on camera in gotcha moments which I'm sure we will see in weeks to come.

BTW. Off course ABC are going to make excuses for him they are pro Labor, always left leaning and they have no funding issues under Labor a Labor government being elected is in their best interest

Did you bother to read the article indo ? “ The cash rate, as set by the short-term money market, as of Monday, was 0.06 of a per cent. “” That's different from the Reserve Bank's "cash rate target" which is currently 0.1 per cent. “ “ It was 0.01 per cent at one point. “. “ And there's no such thing as the "official" cash rate. “

If you want to get technical its cash rate target, its still much better actually knowing this, than having no clue whatsoever, and not just on this but on interest rates too.

Two important stats that he had no idea about, i actually felt embarrassed for him trying to bumble his way through things, then latter trying to save face with a lame apology on why he is clueless, it felt like i was watching Biden.

"The cash rate, as set by the short-term money market, as of Monday, was 0.06 of a per cent.

It's the interest rate banks pay to borrow funds from other banks in the money market overnight.

That's different from the Reserve Bank's "cash rate target" which is currently 0.1 per cent."

More importantly than Albanese’s failure to know the unemployment rate is his determination to avoid pinning Morrison over his claims that it was Government policy , not Covid decimation of immigration, which led to the fabulous improvement in Australians finding jobs.

Albanese is so committed to continuing the Big Australia rort that he’s willing to give Morrison a free pass on his lies over the issue. Raising the topic of the detrimental effects of too much immigration is obviously such a taboo topic that it’s worth forsaking the chance of a possible Prime Ministership.

Yes indo as the article clearly says 0.1 is the cash rate target , so on Monday when both albo and slomo were asked what is the “ cash rate “ it was 0.06 so they were both wrong but nice try indo.

Yep, I have always said it is about the now.

SN doesn’t have a lot of critical thinking or a deep understanding of how elections work.

Old dog summed things up beautifully with his comment (conveniently ignored by all the albo worshippers on this site) - 'Albo has more important issues to deal with like banning those disgusting gender specific words and dare I say racist words like white, plus banning homophobic misogynist racist childrens books to keep his core support base happy. Surely he is being bullied and victimized and should curl up into the fetal position.
Even I knew those answers, where the fuck has he been.'
If someone had asked Albo 'what do you call the gender-confused?' I'm sure he would not have been confused one little bit.

. Yes Andy I fully understand why you believe this and its why slomo is making it a long drawn out campaign. I believe that most Australians have simply had a gut full of the continuous lies and BS . Again as I’ve said before, I don’t believe Albo is a strong leader but people are fed up with this current government. It’s not just the economy people look at , issues like climate change are close to the heart of young voters .The elderly are not on board with the Scott Morrison Party and his treatment of them will be his downfall. I can see more independent candidates doing well out of this and who they support will be interesting. Albo might not be the strongest leader but he’s definitely not full of shit like the current fraud minister. If labor lose Andy -Mac , enjoy your little wager but remember the older we get the 3 day hangovers are a bitch .

Albo just threw the election away which looks like it was a good thing if he really is that dumb….or should I say dumb enough to be uninterested in important facts….The whole economies health is based on the cash rate and the unemployment rate….kind of important to know if you want to run it.
Looks like you boys are going to have another round of your bestie Morrison ….don’t worry he’ll probably grow on you…besides who would you whinge about if he was gone….it seems he’s the best of the bunch at present.

Also, I couldn't really care what former politicians think. Of course, Joe Hockey has a book coming out, hence the justification for the interview - but his opinion of the current leaders (of either party) is irrelevant IMO.

On another note, Sky News is the last place I would have expected this kind of Albo-endorsement to be aired.

And the videos ive seen of protest are generally unedited often go live for hours.

The left absolutely hate guys like him and Avi, Jacinta price, Anthony Dillion etc though because it goes against their stereo type of how people of colour in their minds should think and feel.

The reality is most people of colour be it Asia, Africa, Middle east hold conservative views and values.

I don't have an opinion on his conspiracies, nor the woke thing. 

Just that people rush to him for a 'real' view of what's happening as the MSM gatekeepers are so beholden to agenda, but fuck me, after watching that vid you'd have to be a twit to think he's without bias. In fact, he's more prejudiced to one side than most any other outlets.

So what if his vids go for hours? He chooses what gets filmed. He's a gatekeeper like any other, the only diference is he doesn't answer to a code of ethics.

You obviously haven't watched his longer length videos, they are more videos just showing the crowd from a pulled back unedited view point.

They showed what really was happening opossed to a 30 second MSM clip that takes isolated incidents or a couple people in a crowd and then tries to paint the whole crowd as this or that.

Thats why his videos in particular streaming became popular, because it showed the real picture.

The video i posted offcourse is put together to support a certain view point, i don't think.anyone denies that, although it is just showing two realities from offcial footage, one of what Albo wants you to believe and the other of recent reality.

This is good, not a big improvement but it is an improvement:

'A re-elected Coalition Government will:

Invest $346.1 million to support families and support women in the workforce by creating Enhanced Paid Parental Leave. Up to 20 weeks of fully flexible leave will be available for eligible working families to provide increased choice in how they manage work and care. The Government is also adjusting the income test to increase eligibility and further support workforce participation.'

Is labor proposing anything about the parental leave? I can't seem to find any info on their website.

I can see that they timed their childcare changes to suit the electoral cycle. The current system is terrible, this change addresses some things.

'From 1 July 2022, additional support will be provided.

For families with more than one child in child care, the level of Child Care Subsidy will be increased by 30% – to a maximum of 90%. This will benefit around 250,000 families by an average of $2,200 per year.
The $10,560 cap on Child Care Subsidy will also be removed – benefiting around 18,000 families.'

But I still think labor is better in this space. https://www.alp.org.au/policies/cheaper-child-care

That's true. There are many issues with the system. Very expensive. $125 per child per day (before the subsidy) regardless of hours spent there or whether the child attended or not. One kid is somewhat ok but with 2 you start questioning the value of working full time while sending kids to daycare. Not much money left after paying fees (if any, some lose money) so many parents opt out of the workforce and stay home with kids.

@info and his fellow crew members of the SS Minnow like to label themselves "conservatives".

Off course (did the Minnow go) they would because its lazy and just plain inaccurate because we are all conservative +/- on anything and everything. For e.g. a person may be economically conservative yet socially progressive.

A far more accurate word for our lil buddy and his crew to use would be "reactionary" meaning people who oppose any political or social progress or reform. Sound familiar? Ya darn right it does both from the words and deeds of our do nothing federal government over the last decade and its muppet cheer squad here and elsewhere - never proactive always reactive .... bushfires, Covid (Quarantine, Borders, Vaccines, Aged Care, RATs), floods etc etc etc
