Dammit, will somebody paint one bunch of charlatans blue and the other lot red?

Albanese vowed his government would be different. He pledged his government would be transparent, it would respect the parliament and its checks and balances, it would allow debate and be accountable for the decisions it makes.

Neither party of conservatives are touching that either.
