Comment on Albanese's politics of patience: Democracy needs mature leadership

Cannot take this argument seriously. In a world with a recent uptick in violence and perceived decline, the article is praising a person that has no values and does very little as the epitome of leadership.

Albanese is considered to be on the left-wing of the Labor party. He’s extremely cautious and with good reason. Culture wars, tax reform, and defying America are all election losers.
If you want to see someone who has no values look at Gillard. She couped Rudd by offering to drop the taxes on mining corpos, governed based on spectacle rather than long-term outcomes, and now spends her days campaigning on behalf of Israel last I checked.

He can hid behind a veil of caution all he wants, it doesn’t change the fact he’s getting people killed and ruining lives for a lot of people. He isn’t being patient anyway, he’s actively making a lot of stuff significantly worse and betrayed even the most hardcore Labor supports I know.

What is he doing that’s getting people killed?

He doesn’t have morals. He’s another corporate boot licker with a vague excuse.
