“They got the very house they wanted! Which, we’ve discovered, was no fluke.
Because – are you sitting down – it was their home all along…” #MediaWatch
This is incredibly exciting! 🙌
The Macquarie Point Urban Renewal Project will transform Tasmania.
Imagine the economic opportunity of 23,000 people leaving an event, just a short few minutes walk to and from the CBD and Salamanca, going on to enjoy the wonderful hospitality all of those venues.
It will bring people together.
And it will be a game changer for Tassie 💪
Another benefit of smart, thoughtful and, well, independent, Independents.
Pocock gets it, on housing, tax and population.
It's time for the rest of our parliament to wake up.
(Also, serious environmental, economic and social benefits!)
I don't know what to say.
Housing is already incredibly expensive and construction is slow.
Roads are congested. So are schools.
We have limited water resources and we're encroaching further into our natural environment.
Where is the population policy?
#auspol
Can anyone remember our politicians asking us to vote for this outcome?
Does anyone really want our population to be that much higher (it's NSW, but assume similar, elsewhere)?
The cost, congestion and environmental carnage?
We're sleepwalking into this...

Inflation absolutely was high and rising under the LNP.
Inflation absolutely has fallen under Labor.
Neither statement is even slightly useful, unless you believe Aus governments control international prices, supply chains and wars.
Oh, and underlying inflation was up

You seriously can't make this stuff up! 3 top Labor ministers responsible for making the RULES for mining companies literally went to WORK directly for them just weeks after leaving government. If you can't call this bare faced flat out corruption, what can you call it? #Auspol
We need to be very careful with our language regarding immigration.
I don't think Australians are sharply divided on immigration.
I think Australians are sharply divided on the level of population growth, where immigration is they key input.

Labor supporters (other than the colorblind rustedons) must find it incredible that the government has made so many compromises and bent on so many principles...
... And still seems likely to lose majority government, *at best*.

I don’t like this stupid idiot kid but I will say this.. He stopped beating on Mike there and showed him some respect and dignity by letting him survive! He didn’t go for the KO there he stepped off him and let him be.. Mike we all adore you king your a super hero to all of us from the proper fight business!
If you were the RBA, you'd seen a big-spending Queensland election campaign - and knowing the predilection of our Federal pollies to throw money at us - wouldn't you assume that election will be a headwind for inflation coming down, and factor that in to your decisions?
