Albanese skips Garma Festival despite annual promise

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese faces criticism for deciding not to attend this year's Garma Festival, despite promising last year to return every year he serves as Prime Minister. He cites not having had a day off all year and plans to attend another festival in the Northern Territory instead. The decision has drawn comparisons to other perceived broken promises, including energy bill reductions and stage three tax cuts. Additionally, five government departments spent over $80,000 in taxpayer funds to send staff to a women's leadership summit featuring former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, with tickets costing up to $4,500.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
