Lidia Thorpe’s defection rattles the Greens but presents an opportunity for Albanese | Katharine MurphyThe senator may peel away activist elements from her former party but it allows Labor to pitch to the political centre on the Indigenous voice Phil Coorey has a different view. 😂 AdamBandt think very carefully about if you will or won't support the voice.

Albanese and Dutton rally party members as Parliament returnsThe Prime Minister and Opposition Leader have addressed their respective party rooms with Parliament returning for the first sitting week of the year. Here's what they each had to say. I'm a widowed single male. Obviously, the paid DV leave doesn't help me. My scripts have slightly increased, so I have no help there. 8 months of this government, and I'm worse of. I'm still positive and hoping it's my turn to get some help in May. 🤔 All I’ve heard from AlboMP and JEChalmers is that “We know all Australians are doing it tough” Yet they haven’t addressed cost of living relief for ALL AUSTRALIANS. Every adult Aust either own a home, rent or are homeless. Fix the problems NOW not in 6 months or longer

Government is ‘not on the side of energy bosses’: Anthony AlbanesePrime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Government is “not on the side of energy bosses” despite the large inflation of mortgage repayments and energy prices. “We’re on the side of consumers and businesses,” he said. All Labor is good for is skyrocketing inflation and interest rates So predictable everytime they’re in power Albo might live to regret his parties decision to get off side with energy business leaders. When the lights go out and critical energy needs are not met. People lose the many hundreds of abilities that power supplies. Work, businesses, food & lives will be lost.
