The main point of this is that Angus Taylor thought he’d have an easy interview with Billi FitzSimons because it was youth media and was completely bamboozled by someone who knew their stuff.
So just to be clear - the Libs and Nats say they want higher wages & lower taxes, but they’ve repeatedly opposed both and then complain when Labor actually delivers them. Confused? Don’t worry, so is Angus.

Not a single scandal in three years of a Labor government. Can anyone remember that happening before? #auspol #Election2025

Dutton’s citizenship deportation ‘referendum’ is not an idea. It’s not designed to be taken seriously. It’s a racist dog whistle telling racists that he sees them and there is a place for them in his tent. That’s it. That’s the whole point.

Good old Australia Day!
Australia:
Unemployment 4.0%
Inflation 2.3%
Wages 3.5%
ASX - record high
Household wealth - record high
$4 trillion in superannuation
2 Budget surpluses
One of the highest per capita GDP countries in the world
I'll take that scorecard any & every day

Put himself through uni AFTER he left the Police.
He worked at the Butcher Shop for an illegal under the counter payment.
Like all rich self promoters he implies his family was not wealthy.

Australians deserve better ... this is why I am on the side of PM @AlboMP and his brilliant @AustralianLabor team.

Labor MP Josh Burns claims Liberal Senator James Paterson was prepared to read out a statement for him at the Adass synagogue, because he'd lost his voice. "Peter Dutton right at the last minute intervened and told James he couldn't read out the statement," Josh Burns says.

Striking figures. Australian barley, wine exports to China absolutely booming since tariffs lifted. Barley at $2.5 billion a year, up from $1 billion. And predictions that Australian wine would return to a shrunken market were wrong: annual exports on track to hit $1 billion+

This is an outrage…
The Asylum Seeker Resource Centre @ASRC1 was robbed again last night. That’s twice in two days. I’m trying my best to still hold onto my compassion.
What matters is everyone is safe, everything else can be replaced.

excellent fact-checking on @DickSmithFairGo's rant against renewables last sunday…
so important to combat misinformation with cool, calm facts.
Latest Temperature Check column is out, looking at millionaire Dick Smith's rant against renewables on ABC radio show Australia All Over, and the misinformed claims on electricity prices and blackouts. theguardian.com/environment/…

"Dick Smith’s diatribe was a mix of straw man arguments, incorrect claims and, at times, some laughable false equivalences." And Macca's also wrong. Great rebuttal.✅ theguardian.com/environment/…

Walkable urbanism is so underrated. Woke up, walked my daughters two blocks to pick up donuts & coffee, then walked to the the park one block in the other direction. Now sitting five blocks away watching them play by the lake. Zero cars involved. Everyone should have this luxury.

Ahem. If @SBSNews was smart, they'd employ @AmyRemeikis to host a political commentary panel discussion program to air Sunday mornings at 9am. (Or any time that suited Remeikis.) With panelists from independent news media (not Seven, Nine or NewsCorp). 😏 #auspol #Insiders

Can the Pharmacy Guild of Australia please provide a list of pharmacies that have gone broke and the 20,000 jobs lost for women? More than a year into double prescriptions, I’ve not seen a single pharmacy close & the Guild needs to explain why we should ever trust them. #auspol
