An interesting take on Albo's leadership.

I would tend to think he has been over cautious since the referendum, glacial movement on the middle east and a failure to so anything meaningful on housing.

Maybe slow and cautious is the way we get real reform. Infuriating but effective?

On the other hand, the U16 social media was rammed through, and looks to be expanded to include search engines, with little patience or care.

TBH I think the pattern is more that he can move quickly when Murdoch agrees work him.

When the oligarchs give an order, they can move mountains. When the people genuinely want something, it takes years of public debate.
