It is not getting a lot of coverage - but there is a world of financial pain coming for WA households if WA Labor agrees to extend the Woodside gas deal. And that's without the huge environmental cost.

On #Insiders, Albanese claims ID documents won’t be needed to verify age under the U16 social media ban.
Instead, he suggests social media companies will “just work it out” while facing hefty fines if under-16s slip through.
I’ve never seen a PM so clearly out of their depth.

1000 people — maybe even more — had their welfare payments unlawfully CANCELLED because Dept of Employment / Services Australia can’t read their self-defeating legislation that dictates mutual obligations to jobseekers. Latest in a series of bungles. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/law-cri...
Exclusive: Welfare payments cancelled unlawfully
An error in the interpretation of welfare legislation has led to the unlawful cancellation of payments, as the department fails to manage its own compliance system.

This should be the final nail in the coffin for the failed mutual obligations scheme.
Income support recipients are already forced to try to survive on poverty payments. Robbing them of the meagre incomes they rely on is unforgivable.
Labor must immediately suspend the scheme.

@jacquilambie.bsky.social has put forward a motion to rename labor’s electoral “reform” bill the “snouts in the troughs” bill.
…which is fair enough given the two major parties are giving themselves $82.7m in extra taxpayer funds under the bill.
