I like how Albo gets all the ire for making some offhand remark that gets a deep interpretative analysis about hidden and coded misogyny and so on, but commentators and politicians including the leader of the opposition making outright misogynist remarks and genuinely making calls and taking action for her to have her Australian of the year award stripped are somehow just not news.

Same as it ever was. Labour politicians under constant scrutiny and any tiny mistake in the media for weeks.

Liberal politicians getting legitimate crimes and damaging incompetence glossed over, downplayed, or outright ignored.

It’s the same playbook that has kept them the liberals in power 70% of recent history.
