After having just watched Craig Emerson's stellar performance against Leigh Sales' deplorable #leadershit interview this evening I have a suggestion for all Labor press conferences held up until the election.
If a journalist asks a question about the ALP leadership just say:
"I am here to answer any questions about policy and I am happy to explain why Labor is the best option for taking our country forward. I am also very happy to contrast our policy with that offered by the opposition".
If a journalist persists and asks yet another leadership question say:
"Any questions on policy? My portfolio? How we differ from the opposition?"
If there are no such questions or more leadership questions then say:
"I'll take that as a no then. Thank you.."
THEN WALK AWAY!
If all Labor MP's took this line then the only people journalists could ask these banale questions would be the Opposition or themselves. That would very rapidly lose it's newsworthiness.
Demand policy discussion before it is too late!!
Just an idea...
