In a bold political move, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reignited a fiery debate by invoking a classic Keating-era barb against newly elected leader Angus Taylor, asking, 'Can a souffle rise once?' But here's where it gets controversial... Is this a clever nod to history or a calculated dig at Taylor's leadership? Albanese didn't stop there—he also labeled Taylor 'just another Liberal' during a speech to party loyalists on Saturday, marking his first public critique of the new leader. And this is the part most people miss... Could this be the start of a deeper ideological clash within the party?
