How Anthony Albanese plans to take advantage of Scott Morrison's summer of discontent

ABC  

At the end of last year, Labor strategists knew their task for summer was to give voters a better understanding of Anthony Albanese. Albanese didn't exactly ditch his get-to-know-me plans — he still toured marginal seats with a grab bag of targeted promises — but his overwhelming focus remained on the government's pandemic failures. Albanese's colleagues agree it was a no-brainer to keep the heat on Scott Morrison and two opinion polls — Resolve and Essential — have confirmed the discontent of voters this summer. In contrast to the Prime Minister's talk of "getting government out of our lives", Albanese pledged to make government the "steering wheel of the nation". Likewise, Albanese empathised with parents worried about the impact of lockdowns on children and unveiled what he called "Labor's plan to help our schools and students bounce back".
