He also bashes American politicians.

"Labour strongly opposes a US two-tier health system where your wealth determines your health."

"This budget adds a $7 per visit GP (general practitioner) tax and not one dollar of it goes toward the health system. The only purpose of this tax is to cut into the universality of Medicare. This is what you'd expect to hear from the American Tea Party Republicans!"

I voted for Albanese in the leadership ballot - but I was really impressed with the belly-fire. I think those of us in the gallery applauding gave him something to feed off. Mind you, knowing how much we were irritating Bronny and Hockey was doubly-rewarding.

Perhaps the most surprising speech. Really savaged the opposition. Amazing.

That one quote about the Tea Party raises a question; how is the Tea Party movement (and yes, I realize it isn't really a movement) generally perceived in the rest of the world?

When foreign politicians or journos in other countries invoke the name, you can be sure it's a synonym for "a bunch of crazies"/"far-right nutcases".
