Albo Just Compared The Morrison Government To Three-Day-Old Chicken In A Weirdly Graphic Analogy
Someone get this poor man a sandwich.
Freshly minted opposition leader Anthony Albanese hasn’t quite got the hang of the political roast yet — yesterday, he compared Scott Morrison’s government to three-day-old chicken in a bizarre attempt to make a point.
“They’ve really struggled,” he said of the Morrison government. Then, inspiration (or hunger) struck.
“I mean, this is like going down to the local cafeteria there and often you get, you know… The first term was like the day one chicken — it was fresh, the Abbott team was fresh, and they were up for the job.”
“The second day it’s a little bit, you know, a little bit staler, as happens. Still sitting there being offered, maybe at a cheaper price.” This slightly stale chicken represents the Turnbull government, in case you’re lost.
Albo, mate, chickens don’t get stale. Bread gets stale. Chickens get mouldy, sure, and salmonella-ey, but definitely not stale. Well, unless they’re fried in breadcrumbs, in which case the crumbs might go a bit stale, but not the chicken. Definitely not the chicken.

As for the Morrison government, Albo reckons that “this is term three, like day three of the chicken in the cafeteria, but they’ve had to turn it into a casserole and pretend that it’s new”.
“You know, this is a team that is stale, where they’re really struggling to get any quality out of it, and we’ll see that over the next three years.”
Not the greatest political analogy, to be sure, but given that Scott Morrison’s been out there comparing Australians to horses, misunderstanding Pac-man and listing his achievements in the future tense, it’s certainly not the worst.
Anyway, if you’re still hungry after listening to that, here’s a recipe for chicken albanese, which is a thing apparently. Someone make sure Albo gets some before his next press conference.
