Dutton promises you’ll save $14 a week on fuel. The real number is less than half that
The Coalition’s election pitch is aimed squarely at outer suburban voters. But what does it mean for everyone else?

Defence were advised the $90B French sub project was high risk. Same for the $5B Collins sub life extension. Same for the $368B #AUKUS sub project. They repeatedly ignore risk analysis, costing us taxpayers billions and causing great harm to national security🤦♂️. 1/3 #auspol

Raising rental assistance will not fix this. Without reform and ending landlord incentives like negative gearing, renters will continue to be used as commodities
