Albanese 'at odds' with 'mainstream' Labor centre-right policy

Anthony Albanese and the Labor left say all the right things when it comes to China but in their "heart of hearts" they don't really believe it, according to former Victorian Liberal Party President Michael Kroger.

"Of course they don't," Mr Kroger told Sky News Australia.

"The left faction of the Labor Party are forced into centre-right positions even though they don't believe them."
