@DeltaGoodrem was absolutely phenomenal! Worth the 0530 alarm to see her preform it live! Come on Delta! 🇦🇺

Well done Luke! A true gentleman and couldn’t think of a better person to represent Stafford! @QLDLabor

I’m so excited! I Still remember when I first started at Virgin Blue inducting the new aircraft and seeing that factory fresh shiny red paint job. This is giving absolute throwbacks. I can’t wait for the landing party!

[Matt Fortey @ForteyMatt]

So many questions on how this happened! Can’t imagine landing and then all hell breaks loose. Basically one crew member evacuating an entire aircraft. This CRJ had 2 FA’s onboard.

[Breaking Aviation News & Videos @aviationbrk]

A flight attendant was found by Port Authority Police outside the Air Canada aircraft after it collided with the truck, still strapped into her jumpseat, two sources have said.

According to preliminary information, it appeared that the engines were off when responders arrived. As a result, responders were able to open the rear exit and escort passengers to safety.

The plane is said to have struck the middle of the truck — causing the officers seated up front to be thrown from the vehicle — but enabling them to survive.

The sergeant and a police officer who were on the truck are in a stable condition with non life-threatening injuries.

Another day another @AirservicesNews having no staff. How many more flights need to be cancelled before @CatherineKingMP takes some action with ASA. It’s ridiculous that 2 days out from Xmas that massive chunks of airspace is closed. Below is the NOTAM with the airspace closures

Late yesterday the Liberals buried this in their costings. Make sure you send this on to everyone you know.

[Anthony Albanese @AlboMP]

On 3 May, vote Labor so we can keep building Australia's future.

[Jim Chalmers MP @JEChalmers]

New figures show underlying inflation is now at its lowest level in three years.

This is a powerful demonstration of the progress Australians have made together on the economy.

Inflation was higher and rising under Peter Dutton and the Liberals and it’s much lower under Labor. #auspol #ausecon

[Australian Labor @AustralianLabor]

Labor will launch a new 24/7 Medicare telehealth service for all Australians. This will mean you can call anytime, anywhere and get healthcare for free.

[Matt Fortey @ForteyMatt]

Fantastic day prepolling at chermside west today. Lots of enthusiasm for @AnikaWells

[stranger @strangerous10]

Peter Dutton makes massive gaffe in final week of election campaign, asked what the current inflation rate is. Says it’s “2.7”.

It’s 2.4%🤦‍♂️
Is Peter Dutton lying? Or stupid?

According to Peter Dutton’s candidate for the must-win seat of Braddon, employers should be able to pay older workers $10 an hour to pick fruit and vegetables. More proof of what we always knew – Dutton will wind back Labor’s workplace laws and cut your pay.
