Is the Liberal Government really considering WorkChoices 2.0?
Proposing another bill, similar to WorkChoices, will leave low income workers worse off!
Is this really what they are going to do, I wouldnt put it past them, seems like its in their DNA. #auspol
It was a pleasure to welcome Hon Dr Maina Talia, Tuvalu’s Minister for Home Affairs, Climate Change and the Environment to Parliament House today alongside my parliamentary colleagues.

Tuesday night’s Budget was a big pro-supply Budget.
We’re investing another $2 billion in housing enabling infrastructure - the roads, water and sewerage that actually unlock new homes.
That brings our total investment in housing enabling infrastructure to $6.3 billion since coming to government, with billions more available.
That’s more than the Coalition promised at the last election - and more than 50 times what they actually invested over a decade in office. They promised $1 billion. In the end, they spent just $123.5 million.
And our infrastructure investment was just one supply measure in the Budget - we also took further action to speed up housing approvals and streamline construction standards nationwide. This could unlock tens of thousands of more homes and builds on our ambitious $47 billion Homes for Australia plan.
We’re not just making promises - we’re delivering. New housing commencements are up 26% on this time last year.
Real progress is being made. But we know there’s more work to do.
Eventually the SA Liberals are going to realise how catastrophic Ashton Hurn’s decision to preference One Nation was. Someone surely will eventually ask “would Liberals rather be facing Labor or ON in these regional seats in 2030?”
But with all the celebrations Ms Hurn suggested they probably haven’t had time to contemplate how catastrophic that decision was.
What a debut! Sam Konstas has lit up the cricket world with 60 runs from 65 deliveries at the MCG. Australia has a new star and Greek Aussies also have someone they can claim as their own, too! 🇦🇺🇬🇷
The Greens Party just voted with the Liberals, Nationals and One Nation to stop Labor’s laws to help renters buy their own home.
They’re stopping 40,000 low and middle income Australians who desperately want to buy a home from getting government support to do so.
