Someone has helped Anthony Albanese deliver the cost of living lines (or maybe repetition finally can claim a win here) as he deploys the talking points Labor want in this coming election against the Liberal MP for Menzies, Keith Wolahan.

Now the question for the member for Menzies is, is he against that additional hospital funding? Is he against the additional education funding? Because the member for Menzies, when I was in hiselectorate, or what will be his electorate that he’s running for at the next election, just a short while ago, where the Leader of the Opposition was advocating his newfound love of China and all things that are connected with China for Lunar New Year, they were up there talking about getting back on track. Now every Australian will know what that means, back to rising inflation, back to wages deliberately low, back to aged care in crisis, back to bulk billling being in free fall, back to childcare being out of reach, back to chasing manufacturing offshore, back to veterans waiting years for benefits, back to chaos and multiple ministries.

That’s what they presided over. Keep that in mind next time you hear someone talk about back on track.

That may actually be the most succinctly Albanese has delivered those lines in at least the last six months.
