Albo has brainrot

Brainrot is the addiction to trivia from too much screen time.

Meet your brainrotted PM:

Jess Fox and Eddie Ockenden are veteran Olympians and incredible athletes, and they’ll do Australia proud as @AUSOlympicTeam flag bearers. Well done @jessfoxcanoe and @eddieockenden 🇦🇺 pic.twitter.com/of04ctEV9V

So, while Aussies are being raped in Paris, Albo’s brainrot extends only to compulsive social media posting over sporting nothing burgers.

In truth, this is a deliberate political strategy by the deeply politicised Albo to fill the airwaves with himself, thus crowding out all opposition, even while on holiday.

ScoMo used the John Howard-initiated saturation strategy, and now Albo has adopted it.

The problem is that if you’re on the nose, then the stink only grows.
