Last week I predicted that Anthony Albanese would continue his campaign, Riding Solo, fronting the media without help from his ministers, especially since the Mean Girls saga.

But with the unfortunate timing of Albanese’s Covid isolation, he now has to rely on his team to answer the media each day.

Interestingly, he has not elected just a couple of representatives to take his place while he recovers, opting instead to have a rolling band of members acting as the Labor spokesperson for the day.
