@BobBurn97207272 A politician has never worried about integrity when it comes to milking the public purse. Claiming it was within the rules is bullshit when you know the rules are wrong.

The ongoing controversy surrounding Communications Minister Anika Wells has escalated, with the Opposition now formally calling for her resignation. Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson has publicly stated that Wells "cannot survive" the growing pressure regarding her taxpayer funded travel. This follows an audit that required the Minister to repay over $10,000 for incorrect expense claims, alongside recent questions over a work trip that allegedly coincided with a friend's 40th birthday party. While Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended Wells, stating she made "honest mistakes" and repaid the funds, critics argue this ongoing saga is a major test of political accountability and transparency. Many are asking if government ministers are being held to the same financial standards as everyday Australians. Do you think Anika Wells should step down over the travel spending controversy?

@peters_malcolm Easy fix for the supermarkets. Just put prices up on everything and any fines will be recovered very quickly. Consumers will pay in the end.

Coles found to have misled shoppers on discounted items in bombshell Federal Court case- abc Nasty result of 2 majors having no competition with 70%. Gov should encourage establishment of 2 more players. Aldi has 8%, IGA 6%. Costco slowly building share.

@peters_malcolm Do you want the same logic applied across Australia to all natural disasters? Careful what you wish for.

Residents fear their homes at Surfside Beach on the NSW far south coast are at risk of being inundated if another strong storm destroys the protective sand dune.- abc I fail to understand why this is a public cost. Seaside home are worth millions, so it is owners problem.

@PatConroy1 How about you ensure all Australians have access to modern high speed internet before you spend millions on a foreign country.

No matter where you live, you should be able to connect to the internet to see the PNG Chiefs’ NRL debut in 2028. But connectivity is more than watching your favourite sport - it’s about connecting families, delivering services and creating opportunity.

@bobjcarr @tanya_plibersek And learn how to lie, cheat and spin, all the while grovelling in the public trough for all you can get. Politics is a cesspit of corruption and filth.

.@tanya_plibersek - an inspiration, I said, for the young women at the Jessie Street lunch. Plunge into public life, I told them.

@ClareONeilMP A chain of broken promises. Who would believe a politician rver?

Breaking: We're changing housing taxes so you have a fairer shot at buying your first home.

@AlboMP Just bludgeon older Australians in the process. We vote remember.

More tax cuts for working Australians are on the way in Labor's Budget.

@JEChalmers Why should we ever trust a Labor promise again. Lying bastard.

This is the most important and ambitious Budget in decades. Important because the world is throwing a lot at us – and this Budget is about helping Australia deal with these challenges. And ambitious because we have so much going for us – and this Budget is about Australia seizing those opportunities. This Budget is ambitious in the face of adversity. It’s a responsible Budget, and a reforming Budget, which builds resilience and bolsters our economy. There is more cost of living relief, more Medicare and more aged care, and more housing. It makes the tax system fairer and stronger for workers, businesses, first home buyers and future generations – Responding to the pressures of the here-and-now while embracing our intergenerational responsibilities. We are responding to the biggest oil shock in history with a comprehensive $14.8 billion plan to secure more fuel, strengthen our supply chains, build resilience, and take the sting out of prices. Immediate relief from the fuel crisis is coupled with lasting and responsible cost of living measures. Tonight, we are proud to be delivering another round of ongoing tax cuts for Australian workers. We will put more money into the pockets of 13.3 million workers with a new $250 Working Australians Tax Offset. It will begin from the second half of 2027 and be paid each year, ongoing and automatically in your tax return just like the instant deduction we’re rolling out as well. The $6.4 billion tax offset is the biggest cost of living measure in this Budget – But it’s not all we’re doing to support families under pressure. As a Labor government, we will always invest in Medicare, cheaper medicines and public health so Australians get the care they need, when they need it. Australia’s longstanding housing shortage is making homes unaffordable. This challenge hits young workers and families hard and we’re addressing it from every responsible angle. The reforms in this Budget will lift our total investment in housing to a record $47 billion. We’re levelling the playing field for first home buyers with 5 per cent deposits and tax reform to help more young Australians into their own home. These housing reforms go to the core of our Budget strategy. Dealing with the very real pressures on people right now – While taking responsibility for the challenges facing the next generations. The challenges coming at us, the opportunities ahead of us and the better future that Australians deserve, will not wait for a time when all is quiet in the world. That’s why this Budget invests in resilience and reform, to grow our economy the right way and lift living standards over time. This productivity package will help us attract and absorb more investment, make it easier and quicker to build, and slash compliance costs. This Budget includes the most significant tax reform package in more than a quarter of a century. This is about tax relief and tax reform to make our economy work for more Australians, businesses and future generations. We’re delivering a fairer tax system for workers, first home buyers and young people. We’re building a better tax system for businesses, with over $3.5 billion in new measures that lower taxes, to encourage investment and innovation. Our tax reforms will help workers, create a fairer housing market, and drive more productive investment across our economy. Debt is lower and the budget position is stronger in every year of the medium term because of our savings. The medium-term budget position is much stronger and more sustainable as a consequence, creating more room for future tax relief. Against a backdrop of global uncertainty, this Budget invests in Australia’s resilience, economic sovereignty and national security. At a time when Australians are under pressure, this Budget delivers more help with the cost of living and new tax cuts for workers. And in an era where people feel like the system no longer works for them, this Budget doesn’t just acknowledge that – it acts on it. No other budget in the 2000s has set out this much responsible Budget repair and this much economic reform. These are difficult decisions to ensure a stronger bottom line every year, to give us greater insurance in uncertain times. At the same time as we build a more resilient, productive and competitive economy. This is a strategy which helps shield people from the harshest consequences of a global oil crisis – Stabilises our economy and our Budget at a time of extreme uncertainty and volatility in the world – And strengthens Australia for the next shock. Tonight, we choose the hard road of reform, not the path of least resistance. By responding to the pressures Australians confront today. And fulfilling our obligations and responsibilities to the generations to come.

@AlboMP Never trust a Labor promise again.

We're changing property investor tax breaks to give first home buyers a fair go.

@AlboMP Parliament is a joke. Nobody believes that any serious policy or debate occurs in Parliament. Members show repeated disrespect for the institution. It really is just a showpiece.

Right here, 125 years ago, our Australian democracy became real. In all that time, there is a lesson that has held true: Australia is always at our best, when we choose to lift people up - not shut them out. Because every time we have followed our national instinct for unity and fairness, we have been better for it. It was true on our Parliament's very first day. And we’ll carry it forward for the next 125 years.

@Miss_MiaSimone Who do you have in mind?

I’m feeeling like a Raging Lesbian Today

@DougCameron51 I cannot understand how any thinking, reasonable voter could ever cast a vote for this vile party and their moronic leader. I have no sympathy for the people of Farrar.

I have witnessed One Nation in “action” in the Senate. Racist, anti union, economically incoherent and environmental vandals. Labor must demonstrate a clear progressive vision for working people on housing, cost of living, health and education. More of the same will not do.

@MenachemV Israel is a failed, murderous, toxic, genocidal national. Any Australian who supports the state of Israel does not deserve our sympathy.

Sydney, Australia - Ms Blum tells Royal Commission into Antisemitism “The Jewish people are a people and part of our peoplehood is a connection to our ancestral land.” “Six months ago I buried my husband … and when I buried him we sprinkled some earth from the land of Israel in his grave” “That’s Zionism. Even when we pass part of us returns to our ancestral land”

@MurrayWatt This is not an excuse not to tax the gas industry. Stop trying to protect the gas industry and stop gaslighting us.

We'll keep 20% of our gas here so prices are more affordable for Australians. Conflict overseas is impacting energy supply across the globe and putting pressure on Australian households. We’re acting to shield Australians from the worst of the impacts.

@AlboMP Oh FFS. Join the real world.

We're building a fairer economy and stepping up to help Australians when they’re under pressure. Great to speak with Nova Melbourne ahead of our Budget next week.

@MindiMink What site?

Since you sneaked in here I think you owe Stepmom a little attention 😉 Watch the full scene on my site 💋

@Mayella09476043 @AlboMP Albanese is trying to gaslight us into thinking this policy will replace the need to tax the gas export industry. He is being grossly irresponsible.

@AlboMP Can the haters who vent in every Albo post just get the fuck out of here. Half of you are bots and the other half don't keep your comments relevant. Labor isn't perfect. We know that but they're darn sight better than ON and the Noalition. DO YOU want a Trump style Australia?

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.

@AlboMP Fine, but that’s no reason to not tax the gas export industry. Don’t think you can gaslight the public.

@peters_malcolm The RBA is an utterly useless institution. If all they can do is to slap higher costs on mortgage holders and admit it does nothing to help inflation, then why do they exist?

"It is tough, and we're staring down the barrel. It is a tough time," RBA governor Michele Bullock acknowledged later at a press conference.- abc Well bugger me. Put interest rates up three times and people are having a tough time. If we go into recession the RBA is responsible.
