But don’t worry, Aukus is set. in. stone. (upside down face emoji)

Albanese:

I will not negotiate over coalitions over our values, we will stand on our own two feet.

That is our position and it does not have to be theoretical – to quote someone else, ‘look at past performances’, my past performance in 2013 was to become Deputy Prime Minister of Australia, we did no deals, we went onto the floor of the Parliament, and for our position and then we called an election later after that.

I am very determined to win an absolute majority, we currently hold 78 seats, I think that when Australians focus on what the choice is at this election, the choice is not whether the Government has been perfect in everything that people would like, the choice is, at an election, it is between the Labor government, committed to building Australia’s future, committed to strengthening Medicare, committed to providing homes for Australians, committed to our schools package getting fair funding for schools, something talked about 15 years ago delivered by my government, a government that is seeing wages growing, inflation falling, interest rates are starting to fall, tax cuts for all Australians and Peter Dutton, a Coalition leader, who will cut everything except for your taxes because he has to pay for his $600 billion nuclear plan which will not provide anything until the 2040s and when it does it will provide 4% of Australia’s energy needs.

Peter Dutton and his team, his team, most of whom have run hiding, has anybody seen Angus Taylor in this campaign? – Peter Dutton is not ready for government and his team are not ready to be a fair dinkum opposition.
