This is a lie, Peter Dutton. #Auspol
Dutton says migration is a “significant contributor to young Australians [being] locked out of housing”.
Migrants do NOT push up the price of housing.

![Coalition not going to reduce visas for migrant parents, Dutton says
The final question goes to whether the Coalition is planning to cut parent visas.
Reporter Sara Tomevska asks Dutton three times if he’ll cut visas for migrant parents.
Twice Dutton says generally the Coalition will cut migration, and that migration is a “significant contributor to young Australians [being] locked out of housing”.
On the third attempt, Dutton says:
In relation to parents, I’ve been clear about this, it’s an important part of the migration program. And we’re not going to reduce those. We’ve been clear in relation to it. And I believe very strongly we’ve got the best migration program in the world, but only if it’s well managed.
He then ends the answer with a final pitch to voters ahead of early voting opening tomorrow, mentioning the petrol excise cut, cutting migration, and the promise to build more homes.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:wmxbybssx4m7zcqkjx4ffmhf/bafkreigqyfqgnlzywuyadljqufmttnema7zll7dqrmgwpj5f4irpkjns6q@jpeg)

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Just re-upping this again because the Temu Trumps in the LNP insist on bringing every culture war here: the Morrison govt spent $20.8bn on consultants in its final year - the equivalent of 54,000 FT public servants. The private sector benefits with govt cuts. No one else.

A brilliant article by David Milner. The last paragraph sums up what we must do. Never acquiesce to the Nazi’s, the white supremacists, the broligarchy that are now running the show.

I wish I was making this up, but the boss of the National Anti-Corruption Commission has given a speech where he admits that he acted with "apprehended bias" during the Robodebt non-investigation. As Bernard Keane and many others argue, Brereton has to resign www.crikey.com.au/2024/11/18/p...
Discredited Brereton should stop whingeing and resign from the NACC
The National Anti-Corruption Commission head devoted a major speech to explaining why he shouldn't resign. It perfectly demonstrated why he should.
