Eden-Monaro Labor hopeful Kirsty McBain and Shadow Health Minister Chris Bowen met with mothers in Yass who were forced to give birth on the side of the Barton Highway on their way to Canberra.
The NSW regional town was left without maternity services after funding was withdrawn by the Labor government in 2004. After receiving backlash for a flippant comment by the Prime Minister in Parliament over the conditions, the PM’s office issued a statement which said health matters were the responsibility of the state. The statement also said funding was allocated by the government according to the level of demand.

Albanese 'under pressure' if Labor loses Eden-Monaro | Sky News AustraliaAnthony Albanese’s leadership could be under threat if Labor fails to win the upcoming by-election in the ultra marginal seat of Eden-Monaro, according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.\n\nMr Albanese was questioned at a press conference on Tuesday if he is concerned of someone within Labor going for the leadership, should they lose the by-election on July 4.\n\nThe seat of Eden-Monaro was left vacant after Labor MP Mike Kelly retired, citing long-standing health issues.\n\nLabor holds the seat by a wafer thin margin of 0.9 per cent, and internal polling indicates the Liberal candidate is ahead on the primary vote.\n\nMr Clennell said Mr Albanese may be safe for the time being, but only because there is no clear alternative.\n\n“One of the reasons the replacement of Albanese seems so unlikely at the moment is that no one can coalesce on an alternative candidate,” Mr Clennell said.\n\n“The most likely, despite his inexperience, is Shadow Treasurer Jim Chalmers but the prospect of him being elevated is said to irritate the likes of Chris Bowen and Tony Burke who have their own ambitions.\n\n“Tanya Plibersek, one of the most well known in caucus, who is popular with the public but would not be able to get enough votes in caucus.\n\n“So most spoken about is Chalmers and Richard Marles and maybe Joel Fitzgibbon would even run.\n\n“When it comes to the Labor leadership, the argument around which candidate if Albanese falls under this Eden-Monaro bus becomes so circular that you come back to the fact that he is the best option.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n AlboMP aclennell Will Mark Dreyfus go for the leadership, given he hasn’t been appointed as a judge by Chairman Dan Andrews?

Albanese 'in real trouble' if Liberals win Eden-Monaro | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Labor leader Anthony Albanese will be 'in real trouble' if the Liberal Party is successful at the Eden-Monaro by-election. \n\nThe July 4 by-election is expected to be close, with recent polling indicating the Liberal Party is ahead of Labor in the primary vote. \n\nMr Clennell said he believed the Liberal Party was “in with a show”, an outcome he said would put the Labor leader in hot water. \n\n“The more [Scott Morrison] goes there, the more I think the Liberals are a chance,' he said. \n\nWhen asked if he believed Labor’s branch stacking scandal cut through to voters, Mr Clennell said “no”. \n\n“I think they’re disgusted by it, but I think their general view is all politicians are crooks so it’s a taint on both sides,” he said. \n\n“At the end of the day, [voters] are going to be more worried about [their] job than a branch stacking scandal.” aclennell AlboMP I saw several people testifying of making so much money with the help of Gary binary option trading and I decided to give a try and now I'm glad now he helped me to make $15,000 in a week, DM Mr 👉 GaryCom89698109 aclennell AlboMP Stunning insight 😅 aclennell AlboMP Can Labor and Albo be trusted

'Government broke the system': Labor calls for robodebt royal commission | Sky News AustraliaAnthony Albanese and Bill Shorten have reiterated Labor’s demands for a royal commission into the robodebt scheme saying the government “broke the system”.\n\nThe scheme matched tax and income reported to Centrelink to automatically generate debts from people including many who were found to owe no money at all. \n\nAlmost 500,000 debts totalling more than $720 million will be refunded to Australians after the Federal Court declared the scheme unlawful. \n\n“We need a royal commission because our system is broken and the government broke it,” Mr Shorten said.\n\n“This is a royal commission that the Morrison government is bringing on itself.”\n\nLabor leader Anthony Albanese said an inquiry would uncover when the government knew the scheme had been declared unlawful and argued it was needed to prevent another disaster from happening. \n\n'It was wrong. It was illegal. It can never be allowed to happen again,' Mr Albanese said on Twitter on Tuesday morning.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison on Tuesday argued there was no need for a royal commission, insisting his government was “fixing the problem”. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n AlboMP billshortenmp 🤣🤣🤣 AlboMP billshortenmp DRC_AU Royal Commission into LANTITE is a must. RoboDebt is the tip of the iceberg of this corruption pile. If even the public see it why not the government?!
