For the leader of this country, Albo should not be in a position to voice his take on this referendum. He should be showing bipartisanship, and trying not to sway people's minds one way or another.

I'll tell you straight up, this has no chance of going through because of the wool-pulling over the eyes that many are thinking. When in doubt, give it a clout.
