Abbie Chatfield has delivered a scathing verdict on Anthony Albanese’s time in office in a clear sign the prime minister has an uphill battle to secure a second term.
The media personality has a huge and engaged young audience and was outspoken in the run-up to the 2022 election, encouraging her 475,000 followers to vote.
He described Mr Albanese’s victory as “the happiest day of his life” and told the “losing liberals” they couldn’t “take it away from him”.
Chatfield said he “cried tears of joy” when he was chosen, but now realized that “Albanese is the new mediocre partner you have after a really shitty relationship.”
The situation changed for her and many other Gen Z voters after the prime minister’s much-criticised appearance at the women’s march in Canberra at the weekend.
“I’m sorry… I really had hope for you, my king, but you have let us down again and again,” he said.

On his It’s A Lot podcast, Chatfield criticized the Prime Minister in an episode titled “Is this the beginning of Anthony Albanese’s downfall?”
He admitted that he had “…high hopes after Albanese’s election,” but now admitted, “This is not how I thought his tenure would go.”
She shared her ideas on Instagram and received dozens of comments agreeing with her.
Albanese was elected on a platform of empathy and gender equality after women in particular turned against former Prime Minister Scott Morrison.
A government source told Daily Mail Australia that the upcoming election will be a test to determine “whether the public voted for him or simply voted against Morrison.”
“He needs the vote of women, he knows it. And the Greens have a lot of young votes, but he will also need their support.
The insider said Albanese’s Stage Three tax inversion, which hurts high earners who are traditionally older and male, has meant he will rely even more on young people and women in the upcoming elections.

But he is facing backlash and questions over a speech he gave at a rally in Canberra at the weekend, after footage emerged of him telling the organizer “I am the Prime Minister” as she broke down in tears.
Albanese described the problem as a “national crisis” and said one or two months of funding would not be enough to solve it.
“It’s also up to men to change men’s behavior,” he said.
“Yes, people need to be held accountable and I will be responsible for what my government does.”
Organizer Sarah Williams later criticized Albanese on social media, accusing him of entitlement in a scathing post.
“The fact that the Albanians abused their power by aggressively stating when I asked the crowd if we should let him speak: ‘I am the prime minister of this country, I run this country’ demonstrated their right,” he wrote.
Video of the event shows Ms Williams telling Mr Albanese “that’s a lie, that’s an absolute lie” after he claimed he had previously requested to speak but had been refused.
Chatfield said he “cried tears of joy” when he was chosen, but now realized that “Albanese is the new mediocre partner you have after a really shitty relationship.”
The prime minister will hold a national cabinet meeting on Wednesday with state and territory leaders to discuss the violence against women crisis affecting Australia.

So far in 2024, 27 women have been murdered, that is, one every four days.
Among the victims were five women who lost their lives after knifeman Joel Cauchi, 40, carried out their stabbing at Westfield Bondi Junction on April 13.
Molly Ticehurst, 28, of Forbes, and Emma Bates, 49, have since been found dead in their homes in separate incidents. Two men have been charged in connection with each of the tragedies.
Rebecca Young, 42, Samantha Murphy, 51, and Hannah McGuire, 23, tragically died over the past two months, while their mother Chaithanya Madhagani, known as ‘Swetha’, was found inside a wheelie bin on the 9th. of March.
Ms Williams (pictured), an advocate against domestic and sexual violence, broke down in tears as the Prime Minister spoke to the crowd.
Ahead of the 2022 election, the prime minister led criticism of Scott Morrison for his handling of women’s issues, from the Brittany Higgins complaint to the national women’s marches.
Morrison controversially responded to a women’s march by telling parliament that “not far from here, these types of marches, even now, take bullets, but not here in this country.”
