But Albanese has taken a swipe at the Liberals and Nationals for infighting, comparing it to the popular reality TV show Married at First Sight.

"You can't fight for Australia if you're obsessed by fighting each other. And that is what we are seeing on the other side, with the fragmentation of people competing for who can be more right-wing," he says.

"The other side, we'll allow them to engage in their bizarre behaviour. I note that Married at First Sight begins tonight, and it's a bit like that with the relationships on the other side."

  1. its-just-the-vibe on

    With the number of LNP leader spills in all the states and federal and the number of spills already pencilled in I’m surprised channel 7 or 9 isn’t producing a new show called “so you think you can LNP” or some shit like that

  2. Hope he’s getting some sort of kickback for namedropping MAFS the day of the new season launch.

  3. careful, mafs is one of the top Australian tv shows, we had election cycles built entirely on no policy and political slander, maybe this is the next big strategy for political advertising to connect with the common audience.

    Hanson might live stream a home cooked meal and invite over Barnaby Joyce.

    …. Wait . fuck.

  4. Libs just need to get everyone’s focus back on that Joy Division shirt. That will turn the tide for sure.

  5. The ABC doco after this term of government is going to be focused exclusively on the opposition lol
