Economy - Just because the unemployment rate goes down it does not mean that the economy is improving, the federal government is just manipulating the unemployment figures like it always does.

The Morrison Government has admitted that cost of living will rise faster than your pay – which means for the next two years, people's pay will be going backwards.
After eight long years of wages going nowhere, now they're going backwards.
This will hurt families.
Australia is deeply concerned by the violence in East Jerusalem & calls on all leaders to take immediate steps to halt violence & restore calm. The focus of all parties must be on a return to genuine peace negotiations to define a just, durable & resilient peace agreement. @dfat
#Budget2021 is all about the Australian people.
It’s about guaranteeing essential services, creating more jobs, and keeping Australians safe from #COVID19.
I will outline the Morrison Government’s plan to Secure Australia’s Recovery tonight at 7.30pm.
Economy - The federal budget, do you sense a federal election looming?, the signs are all there, this tweet from @AlboMP certainly adds to the speculation.
Budgets should be about people, not “announcements” that promise big and don’t actually deliver help for those who need it.
When I’m PM, we’ll judge the strength of our economy by whether it’s working for you. And when I make a promise, I’ll keep it – because promises matter.
I visited Kabul to affirm Australia’s support for the people of Afghanistan, meeting with President Ghani. I expressed our deepest condolences for the cowardly terrorist attack on teenage girls at school. I thanked our 🇦🇺@dfat & #youradf personnel 🇦🇺🇦🇫
