‘Alarm bells are ringing’: Jim Wilson blasts Anthony Albanese over ‘major stuff up’

Clinton Maynard

Jim Wilson has blasted opposition leader Anthony Albanese over his ‘amateur hour’ performance on day one of the election campaign.

Mr Albanese could not answer what the Reserve Bank’s official cash rate or national unemployment rates were when he was asked this morning.

The official cash rate has not changed since November 2020.

Jim Wilson says “the alarm bells are already ringing”.

“I mean, Anthony Albanese should be fired up and ready to go, he should have a bucketful of announcements in his kit bag, he should be ready to press the flesh and meet the people, but most importantly he should be across his brief,” he said.

“Normally I wouldn’t open up on day one of a campaign and sink the boot into a man who obviously wants to improve the country, but Anthony Albanese has brought this upon himself.

“When you hear a stuff up like this you have to ask — is he really across the detail?

“What more can be said? Talk about a train wreck.”

The 3AW Drive host says the stuff up will haunt Mr Albanese throughout his campaign.

“That audio will be on absolute repeat over the next six weeks,” he said.
