No-nonsense radio host calls for Aussies to sack Anthony Albanese before the next election: ‘Can we impeach him?’

Radio host Gary Hardgrave questioned whether Australians could remove Prime Minister Anthony Albanese before the next election, citing economic pressures, bureaucracy and what he called rising censorship. His remarks reflect frustration with the government, but Australia has no US-style impeachment process.

Hardgrave raised the issue on 4BC Brisbane’s Mornings programme, where conservative think tank executive Mia Schlicht also criticised Albanese’s leadership and argued that excessive red tape was hurting small businesses. A prime minister can be removed if the House of Representatives passes a no-confidence motion; the governor-general also has a power to withdraw a prime minister’s commission, used in 1975 to dismiss Gough Whitlam’s government. The article says a Newspoll found Labor’s primary support had fallen by two points, to its equal lowest level since Albanese took office, while One Nation remained at 28 per cent.
