Aussies fuming as Albo takes a break just 11 weeks into the job
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is under fire for taking a break from his job JUST 11 weeks in.
After winning the election with soaring figures on May 21, Mr Albanese announced on August 5 that he will be taking a break with Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles covering for him.
Mr Albanese jetsetted across the country with his girlfriend Jodie Haydon to Perth and spent Sunday night at the world-renowned Sydney Cove Oyster Bar.
The restaurant’s Facebook page shared a photo of the Prime Minister with the workers announcing that they had the pleasure of hosting him.
“Last night we had the pleasure of having the Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon joining us for a romantic dinner on the outside deck,” the caption read.
“Much to our surprise they knew about our story and the move from Circular Quay to Broome.
“At the end of their dinner he politely offered us a chance for a quick photo and we couldn’t resist.”
Then on Monday, Mr Albanese was spotted at the Art Above exhibition as they spoke to local artists.
He also gave a speech about how important art is for different communities.
Several photos show him and Jodie intrigued in conversation with the organisers of the event who also shared an announcement online.
“Well… it’s not every day you get to yarn to the PM about your art, women’s footy and your story of how it all began,” the caption read.
“@albomp and Jodie Hayden were perfectly humble, curious and kind - and so generous with their time to engage with all of our KAN artists at the Art Above the 26th exhibition while on holiday here.
“The PM gave an impromptu speech about the significant role art plays in communities - including the importance of art about women’s footy.
“And yes! It is important. This is a huge moment in our history that deserves to be duly noted for the benefits to our communities of people coming together.”
It seems that Mr Albanese’s break was not taken lightly by Aussies as the cost of living soars, with grocery prices and gas prices peaking.
Many took to social media to call out the Prime Minister for abandoning Australians so early into his new job.
“A break from what? Lousy good for nothing imposter,” one wrote.
“I remember when he hit back at criticism over his globetrotting overseas travel insisting he hasn’t ‘had a day off in a very long period of time’. He’s just getting in early so as to avoid criticism. He really should learn to read the mood,” another commented.
“You have got to be joking. 32% primary vote, higher electricity prices, higher food prices and higher interest rates equates to a job well done so it’s time to have a break. Really?” someone else wrote.
“Needs a holiday after all his overseas holidays he’s just been on,” another comment read.
Others however said Mr Albanese deserved the break while they shut down any comparison with former prime minister Scott Morrison.
“He’s done more in a month than Morrison did in three years,” one pointed out.
“Good - he's earned it. He's done more in 9 weeks than the LNP did in 9 years. He has a competent team. Hope he enjoys his break,” another commented.
“Great news. Thank you for sharing that! He has worked tirelessly since the election was called, including while having and recovering from Covid-19. Labor is a strong team of competent ministers, we’re in great hands,” someone else wrote.
