Oakes has blasted the abc on social media, insisting their chief political correspondent, Laura Tingle, should be playing a more central role in the channel's elect coverage.

“The ABC has shoved Laura Tingle so far from the centre of its election panel that she is almost out of sight in the wings.”

Since Trump’s tariff “Liberation Day” and the hit on 🇦🇺 Superannuation, boomers are closing their wallets, the very cohort who have been spending during the past 2 inflationary yrs and helping to prop up the economy

This will be a trend to watch 💸✂️

It’s a repeat of the 1980s with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome…just watched a powerful 2 part Golden Girls on tv this week that focused on that exact story called’Sick and Tired’.The writer on the show had experienced the denial in the medical fraternity first hand &based the episodes on her experience.
