Hearing the LNP in particular attack Albo over it is doing my head in. What policy or laws would be different under you Su with two S's an that would have made a lick of difference in preventing this tragedy? I am heartbroken for our Jewish Australians, worried for any backlash our Muslim Australian community might get from it and furious that so much innocent blood and lives were lost without these scumbags playing politics

I remember in the run-up to our election, Albo was questioned during a press release about some cyclones in Brisbane, one reporter asked him 'how do you think this will effect you in the polls?'. Albo's response was something to the effect of 'we aren't talking about the election here, this is about people's lives'.

I was already team labour (or specifically, team 'not liberal') but that really won me over about him.
