Does anyone else wonder why the (Aus?) journalist decided to include K Rudd in his question to Trump?
Journalism, or to create controversy (click bait)? 🤔

I suddenly get a gas bill in the mail- been paperless for years.

Contacted provider to explain. Call centre cannot, but said they would change.
I say… and the charge? Oh do I want it reversed? …ok.

So the RBA delays a 0.25% rate cut by one month and the media lead a frenzy of financial devastation.
For someone with a $500,000 mortgage, the delay will cost them an extra $100.
And have we seen any banks drop their rates a o the ahead to help their customers- nope!

So the Nationals (incl. those within the Qld LNP) total about 20 seats but EXPECT $20 billion fund to spend as they wish. That’s $1bn per electorate.
No wonder the same characters keep getting re-elected. 😳

Do they now act as a unique unit or will/have they remained in coalition with Lib or Nats?

A humiliating backdown on an ideologically driven policy that would have hurt services, ppl working from home & pushed the ACT into recession.

Coalition commits extraordinary about-face on 'end' to work from home
A Coalition promise to send public servants back to the office has been jettisoned, and plans to cut 41,000 Commonwealth jobs walked back significantly, in a mid-campaign backflip.

Banks assess home loan applications to ensure they can manage up to 4.0% rate increases. I.e. if rate is 3.0%, they assess if you can afford at 7.00%
In recent years some have reached that increase, most have not. But yet, media says so many are in crisis.

Isn’t it a little sad that a budget which addresses the spend of more than $700 billion, has only the smallest portion $17 billion, (2.5%) under media focus.
