Construction heir firms as Cormann's Senate replacement despite party doubts

An heir to one of Australia's biggest private businesses is firming as the likely replacement to Finance Minister Mathias Cormann when he resigns from the Senate.

Julian Ambrose , an heir to WA construction billionaire Len Buckeridge, is set to be picked by the WA Liberal party to replace Finance Minister Mathias Cormann when he resigns from the Senate later this year.Mr Ambrose's candidacy is not a done deal, with some within the party questioning his political credentials and encouraging other contenders to enter the race before nominations close at the end of September.

"Being mayor of Joondalup is a great honour, and I got into politics to make a difference for my community and state and this is another opportunity." After a protracted litigation, in 2018 the family decided to sell the BGC business empire to resolve the dispute. Plans to break up the business were shelved with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and Mr Ambrose, along with Mr Buckeridge's sons, withdrew from the day-to-day management of the business.

'Lift the cap': States told to take more Aussies from overseasDeputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack has asked state and territory leaders to take more Australians returning from overseas in a bid to lift the weekly arrivals cap from 4000 to 6000 | anguslivingston anguslivingston Why. Right. Pile on Andrews and then ask for help. Seems like a sensible strategy. Quarantine is a Federal responsibility. I cannot see why any State would want to do more given the politicisation of Victoria's failures. Reap what you sow, Morrison. anguslivingston Surely, the feds have access to military aircraft they could enlist to bring Aussies home? Border control is federal, stop shirking your responsibilities.

The Deputy PM wants to up the arrivals limit from 4000 to 6000. The Commonwealth has control of our international borders. They should have acted on this months ago. It's not like they don't have the power to do this under the Constitution. Morrison you have reacted very late to this debacle. These Aussie’s are desperate , stop the politics and bring them home 😥😥😥 The Commonwealth Government has had 6 months to establish a quarantine system for International arrivals. Why are they allowed to relinquish their responsibility?
