Time for more fairness in Budget. Need a commitment to a forward timetable to increase jobseeker and youth allowance . Could be funded by restricting or abolishing negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions that conspicuously favour the wealthy .

Dutton should forever be defined by his shameful fear campaigns without evidence about personal security and border security

Hope Universities Accord is a major contest in run up to next election . University reform is a national priority-need substance to dominate politics in the public discourse.

Very sad to see Sen Patterson on SKY Sunday Agenda seeming to almost beg People smugglers to test the resolve of the Albanese govt on border security.

Dutton seizing on the recent boat arrivals on top of the release of detainees to channel his Trump-style negativity. However, he needs to be careful not to undermine our national security-it is a fine line.

Taylor on insiders-a complete policy vacuum . Gunna-we’re Gunna deliver a
whole suite of policies before the next election to get the economy working again. Trust us, only the LNP can do this.

Pat Dodson was right. A NO vote in Voice referendum meant Nothing would be done . Confirmed by Productivity Commission damming report on closing gap -won’t close without changes in power structures. Silence from both sides since vote concerning.

It’s more important that the Stage3 tax cuts are appropriate in today’s economic and social circumstances than to argue the toss over broken promises.

Does Dutton seriously think Albanese shouldn’t go to APEC when Australia was its founder ? Just another cheap political shot.

How ridiculous and opportunistic to see likes of Morrison and Birmingham suggesting to Albanese how he should approach the China relationship

Taylor says Govt. Can’t leave it all to the Reserve Bank. Exactly what expenditure would he cut , or what taxes would he increase to move some of the task to fiscal policy?

Too much to see Taylor claiming that the Albanese govt has sustained the employment growth that their government generated coming out of pandemic, given what is now record job growth by any new govt in our history

Isn’t it very odd how easily the Sky hosts criticise Albo for not accepting the referendum result when they are yet to accept that Labor won the last election having campaigned so strongly for the LNP.

If you needed a reminder of Dutton’s lack of grace, dignity, and empathy and arrogance catch his press conference to comment on referendum outcome. Couldn’t help himself in turning it into a political campaign speech just as he politicised the Voice proposal.

Dutton at it again . Trying to politicise another issue -this time Govt.reaction to Israel/ Gaza conflict. When is he going to stop worrying about his own political standing and consider the national interest?

The No case argues the Voice will divide our nation . But our nation is already divided by advantage with indigenous Australians clearly disadvantaged . The Voice offers an effective mechanism to hopefully eliminate it-to unify.
