Very heavy emphasis on Australia as a leader in key social and economic policies - superannuation, decent minimum wage, women's suffrage (although see last skeet). The implication? We don't need to borrow from any other country, looking at you Mr Trump.

Bit of a porky there. Albo talked up Australia as leading the world on giving women the vote.
New Zealand did it first, mate.

Albo talking up renewables, says Australia has advantages no other country has in terms of sunlight and space.
Then immediately pivots to attacking the Liberals' nuclear policy.

A pic of David Littleproud and other not Liberal politicians.
The details really matter at #SkyNews.

I cannot overstate the tonal difference between the two launches.
#LibLaunch was pessimistic, alarmist, and entirely leader-centred.
#ALPLaunch is (slightly overly) optimistic, and party/country centred.

Albo says Labor hasn't forgotten about renters. But the only policy they have is "Build to Rent", which does nothing to bring down the grossly overinflated rental prices.
Still, at least they *have* a policy that vaguely mentions renters.

Albo: all Australian first home buyers will now only need a 5% deposit. No mortage insurance, backed by the government. #ALPLaunch #ausvotes2025 #auspol

Albo announces a new $1000 instant tax deduction, no paperwork required. This would be permanent.
That just cut the legs out from under the Liberal Party's one-off $1200 low and middle income tax offset. #ALPLaunch #auspol #ausvotes2025

Albo pledges to keep the NBN in public hands. That's a bit of a sleeper issue this election. #ALPLaunch #ausvotes2025 #auspol

Oh, and there's the Medicare card, Albo's favourite prop this campaign. #ALPLaunch #ausvotes2025 #auspol

This is bordering on jingostic, but it's striking the right tone - not isolationism, but strength on the international stage. #ALPLaunch #auspol #ausvotes2025

Albo: "The Liberals want to copy from overseas. Labor stands up for Australia."
Not mentioning Trump by name, but everyone knows that's who he's talking about.

Still no explicit acknowledgment of people's day to day economic challenges. This is a mistake.

Albo needs to be *very* careful here. If he talks up the economy too much, he's going to alienate voters who are doing it hard.

Albo recapping his first term, naturally painting a rosy picture, but plenty of facts and figures sprinkled in there.
Says Labor's asking for a second term because there's "more to do".

Albo up now. Starting off with an acknowledgment of Indigenous land and peoples.

Cook describes Albo as "a boy from public housing". Cross that one off on your bingo card.

Marles trying out what might be the new campaign slogan - "Dutton'll cut it". #ALPLaunch #ausvotes2025 #auspol

Richard Marles appears to be the designated character assassin, devoting a good deal of his speech to attacking Dutton for everything from his tenure as Health Minister to his announcement about wanting to live at Kirribilli House. #ALPLaunch #ausvotes2025 #auspol

The language difference is striking. #ALPLaunch is collective - "we", "us", "our". #LibLaunch was exclusively focused on praising Dutton, and Dutton talked about "my" government.

Oh that's a good line from O'Neill: "a country that bows to no one and looks down on no one".

Finally ABC News crosses to the #ALPLaunch. Kicking off with Housing Minister Clare O'Neill, starting on a positive note.

Hey ABC - you let the #LibLaunch run uninterrupted, give the #ALPLaunch the same treatment.

And that's the end of the #LibLaunch. About to start the #ALPLaunch.
ABC News notes in passing that apparently there are considerably more people at the Labor launch.
