Yep. We can no longer trust the United States. It is led - controlled is a better word - by crooks, liars, ignoramuses and bullies.

We are strengthening Medicare to help with the cost of living. More doctors and more bulk billing means less pressure on family budgets. #auspol #asuecon #insiders

Mark Butler goes back to when Dutton as Health Minister was condemned by GPs for trumpeting “skewed & misleading” data & when he “tried to abolish bulk billing altogether” Says b/billing went into “free fall” as a “direct result of a deliberate decision made by Peter Dutton” youtu.be/BR7O9pkx2qo?...

Jim Chalmers not convinced of Angus’ claim they won’t cut bulk billing reminds when Dutton came after Medicare as Health Min & slams the “shameful” veterans backlog left behind “U can’t pay $600bill in nuclear reactors w/out coming after Medicare again like he did last time” youtu.be/QUDmZ2nGKw4?...

"Like any Labor leader, Albanese is up against a political class that is relentlessly anti-Labor. The media, meanwhile, cut Dutton the sort of slack no Labor leader would ever be accorded, and he's cruising along on a non-agenda of thought bubbles and bluster." tdunlop.substack.com/p/we-interru...

Dutton: “Labor are the political arm of the huge Union movement.. almost impossible for LNP to combat their financial power” 🙄 This is a “look over there” from Dutton.. & don’t look at Dutton’s heavy hitting donors - Rinehart Advance IPA Mining Murdoch Stokes Cormack Hadley Palmer Etc..

Peter Dutton has been contradicted by Matt Canavan on nuclear costs, and by David Littleproud on insurance competition policy. He gets challenged more by his Coalition partners than by the Australian media.

The Daily Telegraph took part in a stunt in which a provocateur tried and failed to stir up antisemitism at an Egyptian restaurant in order to have it caught on camera. How's this for "social cohesion"? I wonder if any politicians will bother to comment www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

This is good news, though it should not be tied to Naplan scores. It’s not logical to reduce or cap funding to schools serving the children with the highest needs.

Albo announces the largest investment in Australian schools in well over a decade, on top of the early childhood education, fee-free TAFE & student debt relief, so naturally the Press Club asks him about almost anything else Regardless, delivering for every child makes me proud to be Labor #auspol

In 2021 the Govt of Qatar was forecast to collect $26.6 billion in royalties from its LNG reserves. Our Govt was forecast to receive $800 million for the same volume of gas. Both the old parties have given away our wealth and aren’t interested in changing this state of affairs. #auspol
