Imagine my surprise to encounter a giant image of a very young Leader of the Federal Opposition looming over the toilet in a newly extended Marrickville Metro shopping centre bathroom.

The fact that Anthony Albanese is featured in local artwork is no surprise, he grew up in the area and has been the local member forever – but the bathroom?!

Albo is popping up everywhere lately – these stickers are plastered all over the place in the neighbourhood. This is likely because a Federal Election needs to happen before May 2022.

in case it wasn’t obvious, “boring” is an aftermarket addition

Though the incumbents should lose because, among many other things, they are appalling and incompetent; I’m unconvinced the Labor party will form government because they don’t really appear to have a compelling narrative, or at least one that is breaking through.

And that boring thing.
