Albo is clinging to a safe strategy. What the people want is something bolder

Anthony Albanese is not busy stealing Liberal Party policies and shifting his party to the right simply because he admires Tory politics and practices.

Despite his supposed dedication to the old two-party system, he is trying to crowd the Liberals out. They are being squeezed by Pauline Hanson's One Nation from the right and finding it almost impossible to manoeuvre against her because her position is constantly shifting, and because she can always outflank them with more extreme and irresponsible statements.
