The High Court has rejected an attempt by Prime Minister Scott Morrison to seek its urgent intervention to resolve a factional feud engulfing the federal Liberal Party, sending the case back to the NSW Court of Appeal.
Barrister Scott Robertson, counsel for Mr Camenzuli, argued the matter should proceed as planned in the NSW Court of Appeal due to the “extraordinary circumstances” of the imminent calling of the federal election, which is widely expected to happen within days. He said if there was a constitutional point, “it was a very weak one” and said parties were ready to argue the case in the lower court.
In simultaneous orders, she ruled that the matter be removed from the Court of Appeal to the High Court, but remitted it back to the lower court for reasons of “urgency, efficiency and utility”. Asked by Labor’s Mark Butler, “How on earth is it appropriate” for the Solicitor-General to appear in an internal party dispute, Mr Fletcher said he had already addressed that “in my very comprehensive previous answer”.

Budget fails to address high housing costsScott Morrison has said he is focusing on helping people buy a house but his budget strategy leaves many people, especially renters, in the lurch. Or corruption or health care or climate change or veteran treatments or wages or job security or Australia’s future in general… it address nth but “bribing the voters”. Why would it? How could it? Supply and demand. When interest rates start sky-rocketing (and they soon will) people like mwa will scoop up the distressed mortgages and foreclosures. Someone has to benefit. The poor spend. The middle class save. The rich invest. Do this one. 🇦🇺🍃🐨BECAUSE THE COALITION CORRUPT DO NOT GIVE A TOSS ABOUT ANYONE BUT THEMSELVES. Never have, never will.

Keep it up and there'll be none shortly. So... why are we giving private healthcare providers $10B in subsidies every year, again? This is such a colossal f-up and both major parties are complicit. A two-tier healthcare system is NOT sustainable.
