Good regulation is good for productivity growth. Lack of regulation is driving inefficiency.

Poorly regulated building markets led to debacles like the cracking in Opal Towers and flammable cladding being expensively replaced across the country

Sadly agree. Lots of ScoMo-esque boasting about what they're doing re protecting the environment. And they're NOT actually protecting the environment; they're protecting the interests of the fossil fuels industry. The same could be said about so many Albanese Govt policies. It's gaslighting. #auspol

Given the choice between the ruthless price-gouging gas industry and struggling manufacturers, the choice is clear (except if you are brain dead, or a gas cartel lobbyist). We need a retrospective gas reservation scheme now! #auspol

It is now clear when Albo said "no-one left behind", he really meant:
- the gambling industry
- big media
- fossil fuel lobby
- for-profit childcare corporations
- aged care companies
- employment service providers
- property developers...

But Australians with the greatest needs? Yeah nah. #auspol
Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.
