Albo might not go so far as to be Australia's most-loved PM (anyone who thinks they can knock Hawkey off that perch is, to borrow a phrase from the late legend of Labor, "mad as a cut snake"), but Australia's latest Labor Prime Minister sure had a warm welcome to Newcastle over the weekend as the city rolled out the red carpet.
It started with a full-page ad in the Newcastle Herald on Friday, paid for and commissioned by local media outfit Out of the Square, welcoming the PM with a nod to his recent engagement to Jodie Haydon.
