Peter Dutton going to have a ‘tough year’Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says he has a feeling Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is going to have a “tough year” with multiple royal commissions and inquiries to take place. Mr Dutton said the Royal Commission into the Robodebt scheme, announced by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese today, is a “political witch-hunt”. At least Dutton knows he can count on Kieran to spin every story in the LNPs favour. This is cunning stuff by Labor, gathering a raft of Liberal neglect, ratified by Commissions, to have a ready made stream of television commercials that will crucify the Liberals in the weeks before the next election. My advice Liberals, save you election funds until 2028.

'Throwback to the 70s': Dutton slams proposal from union bossLiberal leader Peter Dutton has ridiculed a proposal by the Australian Council of Trade Unions’ Sally McManus – which he claims would return the nation to 1970s style industrial relations system. Her hairstyle is certainly from the 1970's! Industry-wide power grab by unions. A bid to get the dead hand of unions back into peoples’ pay packets. This is about unions restocking their ranks on the bended backs of working ppl they only purport to represent. I remember closed shop workplaces, nothing in it for workers. Liberals only care about big business Always have, always will

Labour shortages ‘could’ve already been addressed’Shadow Employment Minister Michaelia Cash says Australia's labour shortages could have already been addressed by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. “Clearly, there are issues, but I think the two policy solutions that have already been put on the table, in particular by Peter Dutton, could’ve already been addressed by Anthony Albanese,” Ms Cash told Sky News Australia. “And they are, of course, as you know, the veterans and pensioners policy to allow them to work additional hours without affecting their pension.' She said the other solution is to get migration “going again”. They are trying to work out how to legally make all the immigrants workers join a Union. Is that another job the LNP failed at whilst in power for nine years How is he going to address labour shortages when he is still busy looking backwards and propagating the blah blah blah all the previous government’s fault narrative. Incompetence personified🥴🖕
