About this episode
This time last year, the government was confident, popular and getting its agenda through without controversy.
But a year later, the Labor government has slumped in the polls, lost a historic referendum and is now facing stronger opposition – both inside and outside the parliament.
So, is this all a temporary blip, or an urgent warning? And does the Albanese government need to change course, or is it better to persevere with its existing agenda?
Today, contributor to The Monthly, Sean Kelly, on the story of Labor’s year and what it’s taught us about Anthony Albanese’s style of leadership.
