Fuel prices to jump as Labor confirms end to excise cut
Labor has confirmed an end to the fuel excise cut, which saved motorists at least 16 cents a litre

Who is the Leftist running against Albo?
Hannah Ferguson is the leftist who has vowed to run in Albo’s seat of Grayndler in the 2028 election:
Ferguson runs a left-wing social media organisation called Cheek Media
She has received widespread media coverage as a result of her announcement
She was previously criticised as “deranged” for attempting to justify Charlie Kirks’s death
Ferguson plans to run on a policy platform of a gas tax, Gaza and gambling reform
Home loan applications collapse
NAB says home loan applications were down 15% ever since Labor’s budget and tax changes
The Opposition Leader says this is a “disaster for the country” as fewer Australians set out to buy their own home
New Victorian premier turns on Jacinta and Dan Andrews
Dan Andrews and Jacinta Allan could be called by a royal commission into corruption. Ben Carroll claims there will be “no stones left unturned” and that the government and unions will be investigated
Carroll says he is open to changing Labor’s work from home mandate announced by Jacinta Allan, and that he is “pro-business”
Two Labor ministers, Harriet Shing and Lily D’Ambrosio, who are allied with Jacinta Allan will retire from politics
Federal Labor MP charged with assault
Labor MP Luke Gosling has been charged with assaulting the Northern Territory Administrator. There are now calls for Albo to fire Gosling.
