Good morning,
It’s Monday, 20th of July.
Here’s what’s happening in the world of Auspol:
Radical agenda revealed at Labor national conference
Record-breaking number of Aussies who can’t afford their power bills
Anger over Pauline’s “un-Australian” comments
Poll: Labor sinks to new low
Victoria’s social media crackdown
Radical agenda revealed at Labor national conference

Labor will have its national party conference where new policy positions are formally adopted. Here are the highlights:
Socialist-style wealth redistribution is an explicit new policy. Labor will see that “taxing work doesn’t subsidise the taxing of wealth,” which is code for targeting wealth
Labor looks set to introduce a gas tax. A new line in their policy platform is to “ensure that the Australian people receive a fairer return from their natural resources”
The Electrical Trades Union want Labor to nationalise electricity
Record-breaking number of Aussies who can’t afford their power bills
1 in 5 Australians are struggling to pay their power bills according to a report by Energy Consumers Australia.
This includes 62% of Australian households who avoid using heating due to the high costs.
Anger over Pauline’s “un-Australian” comments
Pauline has been overseas speaking at a conservative conference in the UK. The response:
Senator Jane Hume says Pauline’s comments at the conservative conference were “unnecessary, divisive and totally un-Australian”
Albo says that Pauline Hanson has been “undermining social cohesion for 30 years”
In response, Pauline Hanson says that she’s “not backing away” and that there is “nothing” she regrets in her political career
Poll: Labor sinks to new low
The latest polls show Labor is at its lowest support since they were elected.
While the Liberals and Nationals are regaining support with an increase by two points.
Victoria’s social media crackdown
Premier Jacinta Allan has announced new ‘demasking’ powers to reveal the identities of anonymous social media users accused of spreading hate.
Our take: This poses new dangers for people’s right to privacy and free speech. It’s more government overreach, plain and simple.
See you tomorrow,
