For some voters in Cobargo, the painful memories from the summer bushfires are still raw and will be front of mind when they vote in the Eden-Monaro by-election on Saturday.
The once bellwether seat – meaning whichever way it falls determines the government – is vast, covering areas from the Yass Valley to the Bega Valley and parts of the New South Wales-Victoria border. “Bushfire recovery is a huge one and we've been impacted by bushfire in Eden-Monaro probably more than any other region, with over a million hectares burnt.”READ MOREWhile Ms McBain said the impact from the bushfires will be a factor at Saturday’s poll, it’s not the only issue for voters.
It would be an extraordinary victory if Ms Kotvojs wins, as an opposition party hasn’t lost a by-election to the government in a century. “Look, it hasn't affected my chances, all the Nationals Party members have been very supportive of me and without their huge support I'd probably be less confident,” he said.
Hippies are so dumb 🤦♂️

'No doubt' India behind attack on stock exchange, says Pakistan PMPakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan tells the country's Parliament he has no doubt that India was behind an attack on the stock exchange building in the southern city of Karachi. LOL I’m sorry Pakistan & intelligence should not be used in the same sentence. You’ve got a group if people that hate you have already attacked you and declared themselves but you want to blame someone that will gain nothing by this action ? Please corrected me ABC, are you ok? How could you run an anti-india story? The biggest democracy that kills kashmiris for over 70 year with their 900k army there.

Use VIC as an example because otherwise the rest of AUS will be locked down for a very long time trying to have zero numbers which was never the plan. There were 170,000 new cases world wide yesterday. This will be here for a while. michaelfowler08 Scotty can suck a fat one.

Labor calls on PM to be 'compassionate' with JobSeeker | Sky News AustraliaLabor is calling on the Morrison government to extend its JobSeeker subsidy scheme and permanently increase the allowance as many Australians remain unemployed. \n\nShadow Finance Minister Katy Gallagher said the JobSeeker and JobKeeper schemes were due to end in about three months and “people are genuinely worried”.\n\nShe told Sky News the payment “has to be increased'. \n\n'The government should be compassionate and make sure what they land on is enough for people to not only support their day-to-day living, but also support them in a dignified life,' she said. \n\n“We cannot govern from opposition but we want the government to take this seriously and I think any idea of a snapback everyone acknowledges is ridiculous and the sooner the government provides some certainty about that, the better it will be for people. \n\n“We’re not being prescriptive, we’re not demanding a certain figure from the government at this stage – but we are giving them a framework.' \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Following a pandemic and with the number of jobs being lost, compassion with JobSeeker & maintaining the allowance amount seems reasonable. Scaling the allowance & reducing the amount by 50% for each year unemployed also seems fair and reasonable. Labor are idiots. The enhanced support is already meaning people are just not applying for jobs as it's not worth their effort to do so... Typical Labor, borrow more and give away for votes.... money doesn’t grow on trees...
