Albanese cries for the tax package

The PM got emotional defending his tax overhaul to Labor faithful — though the tears arrived rather later than the reform itself.

Tears at the dispatch box about aspiration. Hawke used to cry for the unemployed and the dispossessed. Albanese's weeping for a tax package that survived first contact with Treasury modelling. The man's found the sentiment but mislaid the substance — Chifley's light on the hill reduced to a candle on a focus-grouped birthday cake.
