@abcnews The presenters after Tony didn't understand their purpose. They couldn't alter their style and didn't have enough breadth of knowledge to interact in a valuable way with the breadth of guests they had. It just turned into a speech making platform. Boring.
Disappointing. David Smith is a Labor hack who has failed to trouble the scorers over several terms in Canberra. Zero achievement or profile.
An independent would have shaken things up in Canberra and made Labor stop taking the place for granted.

That’s how much WORSE OFF Australians would be if Dutton’s Coalition had succeeded in attempts to block;
-Cheaper medicines
-Tax cuts
-Cheaper childcare
-Workplace reform to raise wages
-Energy bill rebates
$7,200
That’s how much Dutton tried to pick from your pocket
The Australian Labor party has been better for farmers and agriculture than Liberal National party coalition.
The og farmers party?
Restoration of beef, barley, wine, and lobster exports equating to billions back into the economy and regions.
Record meat exports in 23-24, third highest dairy exports on record.
Look past personality, politics, media narratives, and lifelong conditioning of politics, Labor governs for all, regardless of your vote.

Below is what Dutton's temporary fuel excise cut saves you per week for 13,000km/year across different transport types.
Compared to Labor’s tax cut ($5.15wk in 2026-27, $10.30 the next year), the Dutton winners are those with fuel guzzling vehicles.
Everyone else loses.
Last inflation numbers under Labor?
2.4%
Last inflation numbers when Dutton was a minister?
7.5%
If past performance is the best indicator of the future….Don’t risk Dutton
Labor has done what neoliberal economists, academics & politicians have spent the last 50 years saying was impossible: Bringing inflation down AND creating jobs AND lifting wages
Now is definitely not the time to risk Dutton and his ideological bias that will smash people’s jobs
Labor's $10 billion social housing fund has made twice its benchmark rate of return in its first year in operation, bolstering future rounds of grants for social and affordable homes. https://t.co/zlfm3PfA4J
Treasurer Jim Chalmers has CONFIRMED average Australian workers can expect a tax CUT of $1888, and is expected to increase to $1944 in 2025-26.
Thanks to the Albanese government, an average worker could see their after-tax pay rise by $2040 by 2026.

If you have a mortgage
If you have experienced exorbitant rent increases
Remember, little less than 3 years ago, the Coalition exited government with rabid rate increases, inflation at 6% and climbing to 8%
Under Labor inflation has more than halved , 2%-3% for 4 months
February rate cut looking more likely

Every single time Dutton wants to avoid something, he throws up a distraction. He’s dropped the migration cuts (after lobbying from the BCA), nuclear costings will be a joke and another senior front bencher is retiring. So: culture war
BREAKING: Labor will cut 20% off all student debts.
That’s right. Every student debt.
For someone with a HECS debt of $50k, this will wipe $10k from your total debt.
This is a game changer for every Australian with a student debt.
