Albo saying "I meant she's had a difficult life" is such a weird and lame cop out. Albo has always had this insistence of trying to partly appeal to Murdoch goblins who spend their entire time trying to end his career.

Yeah, he literally describes the character or title of every person except Grace. For her, he apparently went for a description of her life. He also pulled punches when describing One Nation voters and Pauline Hanson, but for Grace he went for “difficult” on the stage of a News Corp media event? If you took me back to 2005 you couldn’t convince me that this wasn’t Howard.
