Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has slammed the Morrison government for its "lack of leadership" during the current COVID crisis.
"It is absolutely extraordinary that the federal government are not providing any support for the purchasing of rapid antigen tests," Mr Albanese said during a media conference on Wednesday.
"We know that there are queues here in Adelaide of up to eight to 10 hours in order to get tested."
He said in some parts of Australia it is not even possible to get a test.
"What we're seeing is that people want to get tested because they want to keep their families and their neighbours and their community safe -they're not doing it for the fun of it.
"Australians once again are doing the right thing, but Scott Morrison and his government are, once again, showing a lack of leadership."
All u dickheads in government or I mean the corporation are running out of control and time ⏲ the storm is coming scum.

@simonssimons9976 Says:
So what's new? We haven't had any leadership for almost 10 years. Just musical chairs PMs.
But Morrison got very good chance to get "re-elected". We are important cannon fodder for US fight against China. So, they'll install very "loyal to US" person, they just can't afford to have just anybody who might put our interest ahead of Americans.

Lets not forget Slomo's 99.99% effective "hotel quarrantine" introduced covid to Australia. Hotels are not quarrantine facilities you fkn clown....
@organiclifeasia3884 Says:
Fair enough Albo, we know Morrison is no leader. But as the alternative leader why don't you stand up and state the bleeding obvious...the bloody vaccines don't work. Otherwise why would we still be getting tested and wearing masks?
@Md-jv2pw Says:
Albo and scomo will be last on the ballot. Such embarrassments to this country .
@marktaylor1777 Says:
God I am so over each way Albo.. negative, carping and on he goes. The perpetual motion machine for negative news. What would you do Albo? Typical ALP, always critical and never presenting better ideas. Cannot wait for election day.
@neils8443 Says:
Lack of leadership in general. They are all spineless wimps.
@wncpaexb Says:
Yay... another platform for labor to make wild claims without adequate scrutiny or any reasonable burdon of truth. Well done Sky... more deadshit media.
@RestBedsAustralia Says:
Albo your calling the pot black! Sort out your Tyrannical Premieres or shut up.
@geoffsaunders5030 Says:
All kinds of dimwit comments here.
1. Your human rights do not over rule the rights of the many. You voted suck it up and be an adult.
2. Had this useless salesman and his NSW mates done the right thing there would be no demonstrations as most people would be employed happy and safe.
3. Now that we have demonstrations round them up and vaccinate the moronic halfwits.
4. I am from a state that has done the right thing and has now been screwed royally by these conservative termites.
5. 5 states LNP and Labor managed perfectly well.
Gross incompetence on the part of Scotty and thirty something Dom.

@jasonlarnach6770 Says:
I agree that Morrison hasn't been a leader, just a manager.

Lack of intelligence' in Mor on government
@exposethetruth4737 Says:
No we don’t need the government getting involved
@bobdown6235 Says:
That’s so typical of Liberal politicians and particularly Morrison, when there is nothing ($$$) in it for them or their donors, they couldn’t care less

@sabredog66 Says:
Albo and his partisan sniping for political points all through the COVID crisis. You know this Albo, that the consititution gives the premiers all the power they are currently exercising. You could not stop lying if your life depended on it.
@martinnewcombe6088 Says:
Oh shut up Albo!!

Scomo can't govern anything. That's something a true and loyal pm would do.

Anthony...your party is worse.
@awestruck9075 Says:
Labor and the unions sold us down the river and now we're all out to sea. I have no confidence in either two parties, least of all Labor. I'm getting some leather pants, to make the barb wire canoe more bearable, as we'll be in it a while.
@simonchristie5496 Says:
Agree. But liberal has just not had the guts to take on the states. Labor is plain backing them.
@aussienscale Says:
😆 Each way Albo, pathetically predictable as usual, can you imagine the authoritarian approach had they been in power !! Albo and his comedy act would be lost in the headlights if they had to handle this !!
@savethebrumbies4910 Says:
Why is Albo complaining he thinks the labor states have done a terrific job
@silviatanase3267 Says:
There are many politicians and members of they families making a lot of money of this sickness trough the positions and relation with the pharmaceutical companies. We been told by doctors, politicians, media that we go to have in January 25.000 infected people per day and we have to live with this sickness. Today ( 29.12.21) we have over 18.000 infected people, double vaccinated and non vaccinated, young and old. Perhaps the next variety will be in April-May 2022, and after the buster new vaccines will appear, because this business is to good to be stopped. ( Kon ).
@barrybarthelmess6111 Says:
Change the political system entirely. Whichever federal party is elected, then all states become the same persuasion. Get rid of state elections and that way we have the elected feds not fighting the states for their entire term and are better placed to get their promises fulfilled. Just a thought. The current system is counter productive . . . .
@copperry4381 Says:
Lol fake news
@user-sc2bl5fc7b Says:
Morrison is more interested in overseas people than any Aussie and has no power anymore with premiers ruling their kingdoms all laughing while our lives no longer look recognisable while they fill their pockets from their lies Scott Morrison allowed self absorbed people to call the shots!
@gingersam851 Says:
I am convinced. You got my vote, Albo.
@lennykusa9025 Says:
Tell the truth you fools.
Pedo suppression orders, d.u.m.b.s and your child trafficking secret... I dare you.!
@sharonsmith4058 Says:
All politicians are self serving A..holes they dont give a shit about any single person in Australia, its all about the election, as a south Australian Marshall single handedly ruined Christmas and has ruined new year celebrations and the way things are going we will be lucky if we have jobs to go to in the new year, yet we are having restrictions imposed on us as if its our fault its spreading the Marshall govt also no longer lists exposure sights so you don't even know where to avoid its like they've purposely let it spread.
@jem8423 Says:
Wake up ALBO !!
Tests do little in the war against covid. One can get tested, walk outside and one can pick up the virus which negates the test value immediately.
If this is an indication of your so-called leadership AUSTRALIA IS IN FOR THE MOST HORRENDOUS TIMES. YES A REPLICATION OF THE CRUD GILLARD SHAMBLES.
Don’t be conned by this purvey of STUPIDITY

Listen to that whiny voice. Can you put up with that day after day if he is elected Prime Minister. It is a dripping tap as Gillard's was.
@thetruthinquirer Says:
Bloody Blimeys, the best they can do is telling lies. Our economy is at its worst. Just look at those empty shops, cafe and restaurants along the streets. And the Govt is only good at their baring their baboons fangs goading for War with China. Its damn stupid to borrow $170 billion to buy nuclear sub to defend Taiwan. For heaven sake priorities must be given to Australians who need help. And our farmers need help. Our miners need help. Our Universities need help. In fact our economy needs help. I have enough of this bunch of rats acting like babbons.
