Asked if he has any SPECIFIC regrets (honestly – wtf to this question), Albanese says:

I don’t pretend to be perfect. You know, I work hard each and every day, and my motivation is really simple and clear, which is – what is in the national interest? How do we strengthen our country? What’s important is that, as prime minister, you make decisions – every day, you make decisions. And what’s important is that you continue to learn every day, and continue to grow every day as well, as a person. T

hat’s what my mentor Tom Uren taught me – to learn each and every day, and to try and learn every day. That’s my approach towards leadership. The other approach that I have towards leadership that I’m really proud of is that Cabinet government is back.

We actually have proper processes. You know, the former government didn’t have coordinated processes for a whole lot of submissions. I assure you, we don’t have an overhead projector with PowerPoint presentations. We actually sit around. We have proper processes. And I trust my ministers to do their jobs as well, and to bring things forward to us.

And I think the capacity of the team is one of the big differences in this campaign as well. You’ve got senior people – but also you’ve got a backbencher and an assistant minister here as well, and people who have a capacity out there – don’t have to be hidden. The other mob have shadow cabinet ministers who haven’t been sightened. They’ve got people who aren’t allowed to leave their electorate, let alone talk to anyone. I’m really proud of my leadership style. I think my leadership style is one that has brought us unity – not unity by doing nothing. Unity by doing something.

SO NO REGRETS? NOOOOOOO RAGRETS?

Albanese:

I’m not saying that at all. I’m saying that what’s important is that you learn. You learn each and every day. And that is what I do.
