Fiscal policy needs to be in concert, not in conflict, with the Reserve Bank’s low-inflation monetary policy.The upside of the energy crisis for Australia is booming prices for our iron ore, coal and gas exports. The short-term tax and royalty windfall will likely produce a sharp improvement in the budget deficit this financial year, even if officials downplay the chances of a temporary surplus.
Dr Chalmers has flagged the budget’s long-term structural challenges – due mainly to Labor’s spending monuments in health, aged care, childcare, disability and education – and talked of conducting a “conversation” about how to pay for social services.

Albanese says Indigenous voice next step in reconciliation and opponents ‘trying to start a culture war’In a speech on Sunday, PM to argue referendum comes at a time of increasing polarisation when democracy needs to be ‘protected’ Quote: ABC issues apology over ‘biased’ coverage of Alice Springs community meeting.

(conveniently ignoring the substantial detail already provided). VoteYes

Albanese goes for broke on the VoiceOPINION: Anthony Albanese is doubling down on the Voice, insisting the principles of recognition and consultation are simple and sensible, and that Australians will vote yes in the referendum, Honestly, can’t AlboMP focus on running the country instead of this stuff….. And if we don’t vote for it he has already said he intends to legislate it anyway and the State premiers have signed on. Where’s then would be the voice of the voting public? There are more pressing issues for the country that should be the focus. “It’s the economy stupid” was a phrase coined by James Carville in 1992, when he was advising Bill Clinton in his successful run for the White House.

The ‘bulk of the media’ gave Albanese a ‘pass’ on AO attendanceThe bulk of the media has given Prime Minister Anthony Albanese a “pass” on his Australian Open attendance amid the Alice Springs crime crisis, says Sky News host Rita Panahi. “The media reaction has been quite astonishing to see,” she said. “We saw the meltdown when ScoMo spent a week with his family in Hawaii when we had the bushfires happening. “Here we have a crisis that is actually of government policy – this is territory and federal-level Labor policy that has helped see this mayhem in the NT.” Well it wasn't on fire & he was an awful lot closer than Hawaii.😏 Panahi.. Irrelevant, ignorant, idiotic banshee! 360 views for ‘real’ SkyNews (loopy Rita) vs 3700 for a parody site! 🤣🤣🤣 SkyNews is literally a laughing stock 🤣🤣
