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.

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.

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