30 min of Peter Dutton’s budget reply and no plan for wages or to support wage rises. You can’t address cost of living without a plan for wages. His only policy is cutting rights, jobs and a vision for young ppl to get extra shifts at the pub servicing business ppl lunches

The RBA has been known to make the wrong call a key moments - sitting on their hands in 2017, telling ppl interest rates will stay on hold 2021. Let’s hope they don’t stuff it up again.

I can assure Peter Dutton that his claims that working families will be concerned if the RBA cuts interest rates next week are entirely wrong.

It's no surprise -- the sort of immorality that fuels the radical right's policies and its disregard for the rule of law also enables being happily lying scum for whom the ends justify the means. That's what happens when psychopaths find each other.

The ABC (my employer) needs to stop defending this case against Lattouf and settle - including an apology and reinstatement. They should not have taken her off air in such a manner. Her colleagues stand with her.
