Independent Senator Cory Bernardi says Pauline Hanson “is playing the populist card” on milk following her failed push to have a base price implemented for the commodity. One Nation leader Pauline Hanson had said she was “really devastated” when a bill to require the ACCC to determine a base price for milk failed in the Senate by one vote.
"The idea that somehow consumers should be forced to pay more [for milk] because Pauline Hanson wants to throw a hissy fit in the Senate is just a joke,” Mr Bernardi told Sky News host Paul Murray. “No one is talking about having a floor price for yogurt, or for cheese or anything else… this is retreating back to the 1970s,” he said. Mr Bernardi said a floor price for goods “doesn’t work, it’s as simple as that”.

corybernardi PaulineHansonOz corybernardi duopolies destroying local businesses for short time gains is not the free market in action. I don’t vote for OneNationAus but on this I fully support their move. A handbrake needed to be applied and it was a dog act for parliament not to set fair limits.
corybernardi PaulineHansonOz The Senator needs to go to France, Spain or Portugal and try to buy fresh milk. If we dont protect our dairy farmets fron Woolworths, then we will be drinking UHT milk

Bandt wants to ‘play politics with the bushfires’ | Sky News AustraliaMost Australians will be “repulsed” by Greens MP Adam Bandt’s decision to “play politics” with the recent bushfire crisis according to former Labor minister Stephen Conroy.\n\nMr Bandt was criticised by politicians from across the political spectrum after he accused the government of putting people’s “lives at risk” unless it brings the “climate emergency under control”.\n\nThe comments come after three people died and over 150 houses were lost after fires ravaged parts of NSW and Queensland.\n\nMr Conroy told Sky News that the Australian public will ignore Mr Bandt’s “pathetic posturing”.\n\n Repulsed generally I’m not, I’m glad he stands up to manipulators like yourself. Stephen Conroy doesn’t speak for me or anyone else. What repulses me is the funding cuts. Fire fighters up here fighting fires with limited resources and the PM just jets in here in luxury. That’s offensive and repulsive. NSWfires

The Nationals 'are not cutting through' in regional Australia | Sky News AustraliaThe National Party is not cutting through in regional Australia and it is hurting the party's standing with voters according to The Australian’s Dennis Shanahan.\n\nAn exclusive Newspoll published in the Australian this week had the major parties tied with a 50-50 share of the two-party-preferred vote as Scott Morrison grapples with the drought and a flattening economy.\n\nMr Shanahan said the Nationals and the performance of their leader Michael McCormack is the government’s weakness.\n\n“Scott Morrison is popular in regional Queensland and that’s at the cost of Michael McCormack’s leadership.”\n\n“The Nationals are in trouble and they are going to have to assert themselves'.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia That's because they're a team of fools with no plans. Voting against Pauline Hanson's milk price protection bill to suck up to the Big End of Town will help the National Party no end. Isn't it their very own constituency that will suffer most from climate change? Those people are not ignorant.
