Anthony Albanese and Anika Wells want to control what you say and see online.

Labor’s political censorship bill is dangerous, undemocratic and must be stopped.

That’s why the Coalition will fight this every step of the way.

Devastating news this morning that a driver has ploughed into a crowd of Newcastle Knights supporters who had gathered for a pre-grand final farewell to the team.

News reports say that two people are in a critical condition, seven others have been injured, and the driver has been arrested.

My thanks to the police and emergency services personnel who have quickly responded to this terrible incident.

On what should have been a happy community occasion for Newcastle, our thoughts are with the injured, and those assisting at the scene.

Jim Chalmers has been caught out by his own tax office.

They’ve made a pretty revealing admission: absorbing the cost of accepting credit cards is “not tenable”.

In other words, the cost doesn’t magically disappear when you ban the surcharge.

The ATO collects $700 billion in tax every year, yet even it won’t absorb the cost.

But Labor expects the local café, tradie and family business to wear it.

The surcharge might disappear from the receipt but the cost doesn’t.

Small businesses should still be able to pay their tax by credit card to manage their cash flow.

The Prime Minister should have reversed this decision yesterday.

[Angus Taylor MP @AngusTaylorMP]

Nobody likes card surcharges, but Anthony Albanese is trying to pretend a cost disappears simply because you can't see it on the receipt anymore. Australians aren't mugs.

A cafe still has to pay to process your card. If that cost isn't on the receipt, it has to be absorbed or built into the price. You can't abolish a cost with a social media post.

The Prime Minister told Australians this would save them money every time they tap. Now, on day one, businesses are warning prices will rise. That's the problem with Labor's cost-of-living spin.

We've always said the right approach is to drive down the underlying cost of payments and give consumers clear prices. Simply shifting costs around the economy doesn't make families better off.

Anthony Albanese keeps confusing hiding costs with lowering costs. After four years of a cost-of-living crisis, Australians know the difference.

If the Prime Minister really wants to bring prices down, he should start with the biggest cost Australians are facing: a government that has lost control of spending, inflation and the economy.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Australians don’t judge ministers by glossy magazine lists, they judge them by their actions.

All Anika Wells has delivered is a massive travel bill on the taxpayer, a failed social media ban, savage funding cuts in the regions and draconian powers to control what Australians say and see online.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

The Coalition welcomes the activation of temporary disaster roaming but this should not have been delayed by almost two years.

During times of natural disaster, temporary disaster roaming can provide a lifeline when a mobile network fails.

However, this is little comfort after Labor’s budget cuts to regional connectivity funding and botched 3G shutdown.

Anika Wells has shown contempt for regional communities.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Labor’s spending is out of control and hurting families and businesses.

Higher costs on everyday items puts Australians further and further behind.

The Liberals have a strong plan to Fix the Economy and Protect Our Way of Life.

What’s going on here 🤔

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Another crippling rate rise. And more lies, deception and gaslighting from Jim Chalmers.

[Tim Wilson @TimWilsonMP]

Australian households will be devastated at the increase in interest rates because the Albanese government can't kick its spending habit and inflation addiction.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Fuelled by Labor’s out of control spending which is driving up inflation, the Reserve Bank increased interest rates again today.

Australians are paying a very heavy price for the Albanese government’s economic mismanagement.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Australians do not want Anika Wells deciding what they can say and see online.

Nor do they want the minister running some sort of Orwellian spy operation under the cover of child safety.

Labor’s draconian Digital Duty of Care laws must be scrapped.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Albo’s disinformation denial. 🤣

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

#BREAKING Albanese let the cat out of the bag today about Labor’s Digital Duty of Care, and then tried to hide it.

This is nothing more than a Trojan horse to bring back his failed misinformation and disinformation laws, and control what you say and see online.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

⬆️ PS Keep watching as Anika refuses to rule out a return of the mis/disinformation bill.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

Yes Anika, your digital duty of care bill is all about censoring online content.

That’s one of the reasons your draconian laws have been so condemned by the US Administration. @USEmbAustralia
