Andrew Constance has left the door open for another tilt at state politics despite earlier this year insisting he would retire before the next election.

The NSW Transport Minister said he was “done” with politics following the black summer bushfires but since has had a brief flirtation with politics at a federal level before pulling out of the race to be the candidate for the vacant Eden-Monaro. Speaking with Sky News, Mr Constance was coy on his future saying he would prefer to keep the focus on the job at hand. “I have got the biggest job in the country at the moment.

I mean we’re running the biggest transport during COVID - I’m pretty focused on that,” he said. “The community don’t want to hear the soap opera on what I might or might not do in terms of my future career. “I just want to get this job done at the moment.

JobKeeper windfall 'very good news': Taylor | Sky News AustraliaA revision to the cost of the government’s JobKeeper program is “very good news” for the economy, according to Energy Minister Angus Taylor. \n\nThe government on Friday revealed a costing error by Treasury meant the wage subsidy scheme was initially forecast $60 billion higher than was required. \n\nIt is now estimated the JobKeeper program will cost the government $70 billion and will cover about 3.5 million workers. \n\nSpeaking with Sky News, Mr Taylor downplayed claims of a mistake within Treasury insisting the $130 billion figure was only ever a “forecast”. \n\n“This was a forecast, an update of the forecast, the original forecast was based on the best information available and this was a more subsequent update,” he said. \n\n“This was not an objective or a target. Only the Labor Party could think spending more money is a target.”\n\nMr Taylor said the revision indicated the economy was in better shape than was anticipated. \n\n“It is actually very good news. It means on the ground, and that’s where it counts, it means businesses are in better shape than we may have anticipated when those original forecasts were put in place on the best information available,” Mr Taylor said. \n\n“It does mean we are in a better position as we work our way towards recovery.”\n\nA review into the scheme will be carried out by the government in June.

COVIDSafe app to receive much-needed update | Sky News AustraliaNearly a month since its release, the government’s COVIDSafe app will receive a much-needed update. \n\nThe app, which was released to help the government trace COVID-19 cases, has experienced glitches since its release. \n\nTech Guide Editor Steven Fenech told Sky News the update would address a range of issues, but most importantly its ability to trace cases of the virus. \n\n“Especially for iPhones, if the app’s in the background, the more apps you open, it gets buried and loses its effectiveness,” he said. \n\nMr Fenech said the update would address this issue and also better the “interoperability” of different phones. \n\n“So when iPhones and Androids get together they can still communicate clearly,” he said. \n\nImage: Getty when
