Albo just can’t catch a Break, John Setka just blew off Albo telling him to go “Drink a cup of Concrete”
Albo is meant to represent the ALP’s Socialist Left and Richard Marles is meant to represent the Vic Right faction. However, that’s not how it really works, Marles is a drongo who slurs and stutters, not the thoughtful pauses of a mid to high IQ person trying to collect their thoughts, instead Marles always stutters mid sentence to take a breathe to recollect his pre-recorded talking points. Albo & Marles love to do these walking tours at Mardi Gras every year because the LGBT community are single issue voters who can swing inner city seats.
The CFMEU headed by John Setka is the actual core of the Victorian Labor vote and they all think Richard Marles is a drongo, so Albo needs to get in a photo-op with Setka, because Setka is like the Chris Judd or Bomber Thompson of the CFMEU, without Setka, Albo is just that toss-pipe from Sydney. And Setka just blew off Albo, so now if Victoria falls because of the Setka feud, then Australia is going to have a Pauline Hanson PM.
