You have to give it to Labor they have got unemployment down to a historic 50 year low!
That comes along with 3 wage rises, tax cuts & $300 energy relief to help people with the cost of living all the while they have consistently lowered inflation.
Well done Jim Chalmers! 👏👏👏

In 2025, Australians will have their chance to reject Dutton's risky nuclear scheme

Did you ever hear the mystery of Angus Taylor’s missing coal fired power station?

How do you build a nuclear plant on the site of a coal plant while the coal plant is operating?

If you have to demolish and clear the site first, where is power going to come from?

Peter Dutton’s nuclear scheme isn’t thought through

From today Australian drivers have more choice when it comes to cleaner, cheaper to run cars.

The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard takes effect today- a reform 20 years overdue.

Already we’re seeing an influx of new brands and models, and that’s only expected to grow.

Dutton wants to see this work undone + a return to the bad old days of Abbott/Morrison inaction

His plan is more delay, denial and dysfunction. And it’s Australians who will pay the price.

Since Labor was elected in 2022, we've brought online new electricity that is the equivalent of more than 3 entire Snowy Hydro schemes

In 2025, let's keep going

“Peter Dutton has been a worthy Opposition Leader…”

Bollocks. He’s a devious, cynical, reactionary bully, a policy black hole, a disgrace to the office.
Dutton’s had a great year, but 2025 will test his one great weakness
Peter Dutton has been a worthy opposition leader, exceeding most expectations. 2025 will test whether he has the hunger to win.

Dear Victorians. If you live in the regions or outer suburbs, the upper class gits in the Victorian Liberal Party consider you second class.

Just remember when you raise as much tax as Costello and Howard did, delivering a budget surplus is easy.

Every govt since 2007 would love to have had the masses of tax they had (and largely wasted)

Under Dutton, the Liberal Party is not a 'broad church' 'sensible centre' or even a conservative party. It's a lunatic fringe RWNJ party. Dutton is like an obnoxious racist One Nation candidate but bc he's a 'Liberal', he's given credibility & media air time he doesn't deserve. #auspol #DicksonVotes

Peter Dutton won’t admit his nuclear scheme is too expensive, too slow to build and too risky.

He won’t tell Australians how much you will pay to build his nuclear reactors, or what he’s going to cut to fund it

And now we learn that the sites he has chosen will take decades to rehabilitate
