Towards all expectations for an Australian politician, as soon as elected, he saved his phrase.

This authorities has confirmed itself unusually able to rescuing Australians caught up in delicate political conditions.

Does this imply Albo will put Australian pursuits first and elegantly navigate tensions between the US, EU, and China? I can’t say for positive. However I do know this: He can. Albo did proper by me … You don’t should be a bully to have a spine.

The WikiLeaks founder was launched, and returned to Australia after agreeing to a plea deal in June.

More campaign reaction coming up.
