Labor’s plan to control your super
The details: Labor wants to dictate how super funds invest, forcing them to fund Labor’s projects like renewables instead of what will guarantee the highest returns.
In response, the Westpac CEO demanded Albo stay away.
Our take: Labor want to use your savings for their benefit. It’s another act of a parasitic government that violates Australians.
Albo breaks silence on podcast comments
On the ABC, Albo declared he “made a mistake” and that he has apologised and learned his lesson.
Treasurer defends “fudged” surplus numbers
The details: Independent analysis of Labor’s plans to return to budget surplus shows it assumes there will be future spending cuts and tax rises.
Chalmers claims there is “substantial improvement” in the budget despite Australia surpassing over a trillion dollars in debt.
Labor fights Labor: Vic teachers strike
A socialist faction of teachers protested in front of Education Minister Ben Carroll’s office while rejecting a pay deal that would make them the highest paid in the country.
They are set to strike again next Thursday.
