It is truly wonderful how much those across all the parties in parliament regard Timmy with complete mocking contempt
Tim Wilson refuses to agree that Sussan Ley is the right person to lead the Liberals & warns he is “concerned” about the party’s “leadership”
Stefanovic “that doesn’t sound like a key endorsement”
Wilson “I’m happy to endorse the leader”

"while Labor’s support for net zero creates no danger for the fossil fuel industry, it creates significant danger for our democracy as millions of voters are tricked into believing that they are voting to tackle climate change, when in reality they are voting for fossil fuel expansion"
Like ‘housing affordability’ ‘net zero’ has become one of those meaningless political sayings
Labors support for net zero hasn’t stopped them supporting new coal or gas or from spending billions on fossil fuel subsidies

Agree with Andrew Bragg. And the people who have used the 5% deposit guarantee aren’t the only ones affecting prices - it’s the investors who rush in to catch a property before the rush.
