Mr Kroger said the opponents of the mining industry needed to recognise “extraordinary assistance” Australian miners provided to the budget bottom line given the dire economic projections of last year’s budget.

Not the exact words but similar... same meaning. It was on the news. I nearly fell off the couch. More tax payers; working women and child care workers.

'Get your facts straight': NT Attorney-General slams Greens senator's speech on youth bail lawsNT Attorney-General Selena Uibo launches a scathing attack on Greens senator Lidia Thorpe after the senator's speech on youth bail laws incorrectly assumed Ms Uibo was a male and 'hopefully' white. Victoria Greens are ruining Australian Greens by abandoning the environment to instead focus on various social issues which are better off resolved minus the politics Vic Labor are cutting down forest, wiping out leadbeater's possum & yet Vic Greens are off on another tangent Even as a Greens supported, Lidia deserved this one. This is a harsh lesson that she'll need to learn. Her original points are valid, but geez, make sure to get things right.... Love this! Get your facts straight, she's a horrible female, not a horrible male. She thinks that's some kind of win?

Greens leader accuses PM of ‘racism’ over India travel ban | Sky News AustraliaGreens leader Adam Bandt has accused Prime Minister Scott Morrison of imposing a “racist” travel ban on India and has called for the Coalition to lift the order immediately.\n\nEight members of the crossbench including Mr Bandt have signed a letter to Mr Morrison demanding he lift the ban on flights from India.\n\nThe order penalises citizens and residents stranded in the COVID-stricken country if they attempt to travel home with hefty fines up to $66,000 or a five-year jail sentence.\n\nThe decision has sparked heavy backlash from the opposition, human rights groups and the Indian-Australian community.\n\nMr Bandt said, “the government shouldn’t be threatening people with jail time because the government’s failed to build enough quarantine facilities or organise enough repatriation flights”.\n\n“The ban is racist, it’s possibly illegal, it’s not supported by the medical advice and it’s got to go,” he told Sky News.\n\n“Threatening people with jail time because they’re coming from a country that is not predominantly white - we didn’t take this approach of threatening people with jail time when it came to the US or the UK.\n\nThe Greens Leader labelled the travel ban and limited quarantine spaces a “damning indictment” on the prime minister and his government. \n If the Greens are saying that, then PM has made the right call!

‘Extraordinary action’: Labor says government must justify India ban“The government’s got to justify how it is that the figures from India are similar to what they’ve been in the past from the UK and the US, but we haven’t seen these sort of measures” Auspol No one believes the numbers from India. Agree with Albo here. UK and US were much worse and also had similar predictions of 10x more cases than reported. What gives? Labor is naive and stupid
