'He is cunning': Opposition should 'not underestimate' Anthony Albanese

Former Howard government advisor Peter McGauran has suggested people should "not underestimate” Anthony Albanese as he makes a “cunning” Prime Minister. "Don’t underestimate the Prime Minister – he is cunning and that has proven to be the case,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. "However, you can’t so blatantly break a promise and not think people are going to think less of you. 'It will feed into a perception – remember, he has broken a promise on the superannuation." Mr McGauran also described Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s call for stage three tax cut amendments to be taken to election as “hyperbole”. “But he should, he has got to ramp it up – this is a gift to an Opposition Leader if you play it right,” he said.
