Q: The Liberals rap diss track. Have you heard it? Do you have any response?

(The diss track takes inspiration from Drake, which is….problematic for a number of reasons. But Drake also famously LOST his battle against Kendrick Lamar so again – wtf is the message here?)

Anthony Albanese:

Look, the Liberal Party can explain their own campaign. Some of it’s way beyond my comprehension. Some of the things they’re doing in this campaign, I’ve got to say, you know, there’s lots of really good Australian music around.

We heard one of those at my campaign launch yesterday.

Sounds of then by the Great Ganggajang. We can all sing This is Australia. We are a different country. I’m running as an Australian Prime Minister on Australian values. I’ll leave it to others to see why they consistently just borrow cultures and ideas and policies from other places as well.

Albanese was also asked about the Liberal’s housing policy and said:

On housing, can I say that you know, this is a policy that was in the Fin review. I read today in the paper. I read the analysis. I read the paper, which is much preferable from my perspective, maybe showing my age, perhaps, but the analysis, speaking about how even that policy was abandoned under the Trump administration the first time around.

This is a policy that has never been supported, wasn’t supported by them the entire time that they were in government. They did nothing about housing.

They helped create the problem for a decade. And you saw the people who created the problem all lined up at Peter Dutton’s launch yesterday, all clapping, someone saying, we need to do something about housing, but nothing about housing supply. If you don’t do something about housing supply, you’re not serious and they’re not serious.
