The oppo say Fee-Free TAFE is “wasteful spending.” I’m not surprised. This is the group who STILL haven’t said sorry to the victims of their illegal Robotdebt scheme. Instead of targeting vulnerable Aussies like the previous gov, we’re giving them the support they need.

We’re delivering a lot of tax reform in the Budget – here are the facts.

Angus Taylor tells Sky After Dark viewers it was a “mistake” for any Libs to distance themselves from Trump & MAGA at the 2025 election. “You won’t see me doing it!” Angus wants this to stay in the late-night Sky vault. Please share so mainstream Aussies also find out. #auspol

We're doing everything we can to keep fuel going to where it's needed.

Put down the nominations. The Walkley award for cartoons has been won.

Great job, Angus. You just told 5 million people they don’t matter. Terrific piece from @KosSamaras. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Jeff Kennett introduced the '3,000 days as Premier = statue' rule just before the 1999 election, which he expected to win, having already clocked over 2,500+ days himself. So naturally Jess Wilson is now pretending this had nothing to do with @jeff_kennett or the Liberal Party.

We'll always back Free TAFE and invest in world-class TAFE facilities. That's all at risk under the Liberal's plan for $40 billion of cuts.

Today we’ve taken the decision to list the Neo-Nazis as a prohibited hate group.

After a week of "young Australians are turning on Chalmers' budget" (as per News Corp today), the first actual poll finding: 41-27 in favour of negative gearing changes, 38-26 on CGT. The AFR's headline? "Labor’s housing revamp fails to convince voters" afr.com/politics/feder…

Angus Taylor can’t tell us how much his new tax policy costs or how he’ll pay for it. The speech didn’t survive an hour. An absolute train wreck. #auspol #ausecon

We’re acting to give young Australians a fair go and to build more homes.

Sarah Ferguson humiliates Tim Wilson who can’t stop looking at his talking points. “When you talk about ‘honesty’, do you need to read that off your notes?”🔥 Total car crash. He can’t even find the truth without a cheat sheet. #auspol

BREAKING: Our responsible approach in today’s Budget means we’ve improved the bottom line by $45b. Labor’s responsible economic management means that debt is lower, deficits are smaller and the Budget bottom line is stronger in every year. We’re getting the Budget in better nick because that helps to fund the things that Australians need and deserve like Medicare, aged care and cost-of-living relief.

Australia is implementing a domestic gas reservation scheme. We will require 20% of gas exports to be reserved for domestic use. This will provide investment certainty, put downward pressure on domestic gas prices and boost energy security.

Tim Wilson’s wealthy ‘fund manager’ cousin Geoff Wilson attempts firing back at Albo for ignoring his partisan advice on CGT but lets slip he’s “compromised”🤔 Wilson “everyone’s got various interests”🙄 Even Stefanovic is in complete shock at such blatant self-interest #auspol

Jacinta Name Ya Price now complaining that “her people” don’t have a voice. Coming from a shameless opportunist, who pushed hard for a NO vote on The Voice alongside Peter Dutton. Can’t make this shit up! #auspol #AliceSprings @JNampijinpa #KumanjayiLittleBaby @abcnnews

Vic Premier Jacinta Allan has unloaded on Angus Taylor and his new & “extreme” racist migration policy saying it’s “straight out of the Donald Trump playbook” & a sign he is “too weak to stand up to Pauline Hanson and One Nation”🔥 #auspol

Congratulations @magyarpeterMP on your historic victory in Hungary’s elections. I look forward to working closely with you, including on the Australia-EU Free Trade Agreement and Australia-EU Security and Defence Partnership 🇦🇺🇭🇺
