7am · Albo vs Hannah Ferguson: Can the 28-year old media founder topple the PM? · 29 Jul 2026 podcast

So I'm not surprised to hear that that might be happening.

Well, look, you never say never about anything in these crazy political days, given all sorts of upsets that we've seen in recent years.

You'd have to say it is a big ask.

If you look at the primary vote that Anthony Albanese has achieved in Grayndler in the last two elections, it's going to be extremely hard for a challenger to better him when he's getting 50, 53% of the primary vote.

The other thing that is going to be difficult for Hannah Ferguson and indeed the Greens is that they could potentially split that extra vote.

So it would be interesting to see where preferences go, but I think they will struggle to unseat him.

Having said that, the thing that is really gold in politics when you want to be a candidate is having a public profile, having name recognition.

And certainly Hannah Ferguson has that because of her chic media enterprise and the fact that she's got a huge following on social media.

And in fact, if Hannah Thomas was to run again for the Greens, she's also got a higher profile now than she had before the last election because she was involved in a protest.

She was involved in a struggle with police and she, as we've seen in the media, got terribly injured.

She's lost everything.

sight in one eye and that got a lot of coverage.

So she's got a profile too.

So you're now dealing with a slightly different contest than you had even in 2025.

And it'll be fascinating to see how those votes go at the next election.

Why should the taxpayer pay be paying them $5,000?

And I don't believe that a lot of these women are doing.

Who's to say it's not a scam?

Who's to say that they break up for the short term?

We can get $5,000 out of this.
