Sussan Ley “How dare we suggest to the generations that follow us that they should have a lower standard of living than we have and pay back a debt that we have accrued. I want the next generation to inherit opportunity, not debt.”

Checks notes: today’s inequalities all stem back to John Howard 🤔

The white colonial light is bright in the LNP. Perhaps, the only bright thing about them.

Australian-first treaty legislation passes in Victorian parliament Historic legislation has passed that will see the creation of an Indigenous council that will be consulted on laws and policies affecting Indigenous communities.

Higher than expected inflation report dashes hopes for further RBA rate cuts Inflation was 1.3% in the September quarter, prompting major banks to revise their expected timeline for the next round of interest rate relief.
