Anthony Albanese’s reputation has ‘taken a hit’ after ‘breach of promise’

Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran says Labor’s stage three broken promise is “not a net positive” for the government because Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s reputation has “taken a hit” despite the tax cuts for all message. “The government doesn’t expect the backflip or the lie, depending on your point of view, to gain that many votes,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. “This is all about containing the loss from the breach of promise. “Dutton has done the only pragmatic realistic thing, which is they will not oppose the government’s proposal, which abandons stage three as the Liberals proposed initially because it would have been waved through the Senate anyway. “Dutton has done the right thing. “It is not a net positive to the government because Albanese’s personal reputation has taken a hit, but I do think … tax cuts for all have mitigated for them, and that’s to the Liberals’ disadvantage.”
