Rob Harris suggesting Wells going to NY for the United Nations General Assembly is akin to "Bronwyn Bishop’s helicopter. Sussan Ley’s impulse property buy. George Christensen’s Philippines holidays" shows just what a clownshow of a media outlet Nine news has become.

With her eye-watering flight costs, Wells has handed her critics the perfect weapon
It’s the simple scandals – the ones voters can explain to each other in a supermarket queue – that bring ministers undone.

So Labor and the Liberals teamed up to pass legislation to give police the power to recommend cancellation of Centrelink payments of people who have not been found guilty of a crime by a court of law. It’s discriminatory financial punishment of people in poverty who are already over-policed

How ludicrous for Labor to cut $5 billion in public services during a cost of living crisis. Every six months the government pays around $5b in Fuel Tax Credits to mining corporations to burn fossil fuels. If Labor is going to cut spending, cut handouts to fossil fuel barons.
