As enjoyable as the past week has been, riding high on the back of the Socceroos surprise 2-0 win against Turkey, as Aussies we love nothing more than having our backs to the wall.
When historians write about the rapid rise of One Nation one element of their analysis will be clear.
The Albanese Government has indicated it is toying with the idea of extending the fuel excise cut
For now we can hope a moment to catch our breath has arrived.
All the Budget criticism appears to have lit a fire under the man who would be Prime Minister, springing as he has out of the gates knowing he has some serious ground to make up.
Senator Pauline Hanson arrived in Perth flush with cash, having raised close to $1 million in her Fire the Liar campaign.
A flat economy, low growth and the spectre of a per capita recession is weighing heavily on the minds of hardworking Australians.
It’s been a week shy of a month since the Budget was handed down (time flies when you’re having not much fun) and it’s still among the top political stories every day.And not in a good way.
The West Australian
Another day, more contention in Canberra around who will and who won’t be eligible for carve outs from controversial changes to capital gains tax.
Let’s all share in the day and take a moment to reflect on our good fortune in being part of the WA community.
WA is set to play a pivotal role in the future of the country’s space industry
Two years. Twenty-four months. 730 days. However you slice it, the latest wait times for children needing to see a paediatrician through our state’s public system are simply indefensible.
Although the One Nation heat has mostly landed on the Liberals to date, Labor may find that its usual patronising attack lines against One Nation fail to land like they once did.
The tax-and-spend Albanese Government is allowing bracket creep to hurt the very people it says it is helping.
Jim Chalmers said he wasn’t expecting a Budget bounce from opinion polls, almost like it was a badge of honour that the public doesn’t like his tax plan.
It is impossible to overestimate the despair that is caused by road trauma.
The key is recognising and understanding people are unhappy with the policies of the major parties, they want their views to be heard and their concerns to be addressed.
Albanese’s Labor has demonstrated it has placed its naked pursuit of power above principle, honesty and accountability.
What this Budget actually amounts to is nothing much other than the official documentation of the most egregious election broken promise we have seen in quite some time.
The Treasurer argued that breaking an election promise ‘for the right reason’ is a way to build trust. Bizarre.
Perhaps someone should give the WA Treasurer RBA Governor Michele Bullock’s phone number
A Government cash splash will be working in direct opposition to the RBA. And looking at the big picture beyond a possible small Government sugar hit, we will all be the losers.
Minister for Indigenous Australians Malarndirri McCarthy said it was not the time for a discussion about town camps. But if not now, when?
Throwing Government money around in what Chalmers will no doubt badge as cost-of-living relief in the May 12 Budget will be pulling in the opposite direction to the RBA’s use of its interest rate lever.
