SOMETIMES, YOU ONLY need one word.

Australian Labour spokesman for infrastructure and transport Anthony Albanese is not a man of many words, keeping his opinion on Sydney Airport Chairman Max Moore-Wilton’s plans to retire short and sweet.

The pair famously don’t get on, with Wilton-Moore once threatening to sue Albanese, calling him a ‘grub’ and a ‘factional hack’.

This is the press release he sent out to Australian media, commenting on the retirement:
