Albanese’s Socceroos support dubbed a 'desperate' political ploy
Sky News host Chris Kenny accuses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of using the World Cup to distract Australians from the “budget and cost of living crisis”. “I showed you yesterday how he'd donned the Socceroos strip in a desperate bid to hitch himself to their bandwagon, and last night, he found another top in the wardrobe,” Mr Kenny said. “Albo went on to say the country needs this, that is, it needs the World Cup. I guess he means the country needs this to distract from the housing crisis, energy crisis, budget crisis and cost of living crisis he's presiding over. “Is the liar from the Lodge so aware of his reputation for mistruths now that he has to insist he's telling the truth even about how and when he watched the soccer?”
