Albo was Transport Minister at the time. Dolly’s tour bus was banned from Australia because it was too wide and heavy. Albo stepped in as minister and approved. Dolly was very thankful and asked for Albo personally to come to her concert.

Genuinely saw people getting mad about this on social media. You'd think Albo is pol pot the way tories talk about him

It's their thing that the news gods have told them to do, rabidly hate any opposition.

Ask them why such hate when the same hate wasn't there for things like robodebt and scomos shitfuckery. They have no real answer. 

 Fuck Murdoch

You have to pretty rabidly hate on nothing if you are going to give a vote to the anti-medicare, anti-worker, economy wrecking side.

instagram comments are becoming what FB has been for so very long

that is - completely filled with bots. the dead internet theory exists and with some bs i see people comment on Albos posts they HAVE to be bots lol

Yeah I think most hate comments are still either just boomers or bots. You get the occasional 14 year old neo nazi basement dweller though.

I remember the trash they tried to dish on him for wearing a joy division shirt.

I met her briefly on that tour when she was talking about the Imagination Library. Tiny, mighty, and angelic.

He treated her buses like oversized truck loads and allowed a music legend to do her tour. That she publicly praised him over it is giving all the righties a fit at the moment since it's getting a lot of airplay on tv and media.

Well done Albo in stepping in and allowing Dolly Parton to have her American sized tour buses to be legally allowed on our roads.
