Impressed to see such a lengthy interview recorded and shared publicly. This is the kind of interview needed to have our leaders move beyond well rehearsed talking points. Well done David Crowe.

[Hazza]

Thanks for uploading the full interview

Brilliant long-form interview. Time is precious, and having this much time for an interview is fantastic. Well done

[johnsequeira]

An absolute Gentleman and a timely and desperately needed change from where are Politics were sending this beautiful country. Hopefully he continues to keep his team together and the vested interests at arm length. Simply what you see now is no smirk, no bulls and very little spin and long may this 'what you see is what you get' continue long into the future

Go Albo! Feels like the country is improving, since the last bunch.

I wish that defence would stay in Australia.

What assets does Australia still own?
It seems to me, that the Morrison Government has completely sold Australia out.

[peterkirgan]

if ever there such a thing as a Claytons pm or 1 hit wonder pm then its Albo !!!! lol

[anon]

I wondered what you're proud of too and nothing he stated connects to any kind of value. Doesn't make sense

[creeib]

I certainly sleep much better now that the Liberals have gone.

[mohammedariful-uphk]

[JohnnyFingers]

What a disaster this bloke is. He's great at taking selfies with world leaders and that's about it. At least we're allowed to leave a comment.
