Re letter from D Steley (Canberra Daily, 14 April).
I agree people have bad memories – in fact we all do from time to time. The problem is Albo did not have a memory lapse; he did not know the unemployment rate or the cash rate. In his position as possibly the future PM he should have had these figures in front of mind. He also appears to have had ‘memory lapses’ each day in press meetings and twice has walked out because he was unable to answer questions. He had no option but to apologise.
As to ScoMo and his holiday, when are people going to get over it. If they have to keep dragging this up, they have a problem. The bushfire was not a major problem when he went. He was having a family holiday which he had not had for a while. His deputy was standing in for him, (that is what deputies are there for) and he did come back and owed no apology. In fact the apology should come from those who criticised him for being on holiday.
