Yesterday Peter Dutton announced that if he wins the election he will stop the age pension if you travel overseas for more than 4 weeks.

$7,200
That’s how much WORSE OFF Australians would be if Dutton’s Coalition had succeeded in attempts to block;
-Cheaper medicines
-Tax cuts
-Cheaper childcare
-Workplace reform to raise wages
-Energy bill rebates
$7,200
That’s how much Dutton tried to pick from your pocket
Andrew Clennell (#SkyNews) & Ashley Raper (#TenNews) push the 'hasty generalisation' logical fallacy about #CostOfLiving.
Intent:
- Clennell: Everyone is worse off.
- Raper: Most are worse off.
Albo hits them for six.

The Australian Labor party has been better for farmers and agriculture than Liberal National party coalition.
The og farmers party?
Restoration of beef, barley, wine, and lobster exports equating to billions back into the economy and regions.
Record meat exports in 23-24, third highest dairy exports on record.
Look past personality, politics, media narratives, and lifelong conditioning of politics, Labor governs for all, regardless of your vote.

Last inflation numbers under Labor?
2.4%
Last inflation numbers when Dutton was a minister?
7.5%
If past performance is the best indicator of the future….Don’t risk Dutton

Labor has done what neoliberal economists, academics & politicians have spent the last 50 years saying was impossible: Bringing inflation down AND creating jobs AND lifting wages
Now is definitely not the time to risk Dutton and his ideological bias that will smash people’s jobs
For the first time in history, Australia has cut inflation without causing mass job losses. While other countries saw recessions and rising unemployment, we kept jobs growing and wages rising. A moment to be proud of, but with more work to do. 🏆 My op-ed: ministers.treasury.gov.au/mi…

Labor's $10 billion social housing fund has made twice its benchmark rate of return in its first year in operation, bolstering future rounds of grants for social and affordable homes. ab.co/41f3RiI

Treasurer Jim Chalmers has CONFIRMED average Australian workers can expect a tax CUT of $1888, and is expected to increase to $1944 in 2025-26.
Thanks to the Albanese government, an average worker could see their after-tax pay rise by $2040 by 2026.

If you have a mortgage
If you have experienced exorbitant rent increases
Remember, little less than 3 years ago, the Coalition exited government with rabid rate increases, inflation at 6% and climbing to 8%
Under Labor inflation has more than halved , 2%-3% for 4 months
February rate cut looking more likely

Every single time Dutton wants to avoid something, he throws up a distraction. He’s dropped the migration cuts (after lobbying from the BCA), nuclear costings will be a joke and another senior front bencher is retiring. So: culture war
Opposition leader Peter Dutton has said he will never address the nation with all 3 of Australia’s national flags behind him, saying the practice “divides people unnecessarily”.
During his time in opposition, Dutton has chosen not to have the Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander flags behind him during public appearances.

Albanese Labor government was elected only 2 years ago and 4 months ago.
After a decade of horrendous Coaltion government
L/NP left the country in crisis.
Inflation climbed to 8%, and a decade of housing neglect.
1 million Visa backlog, causing industry collapse
400k job shortage. Remember businesses closing around the country due to no staff?
The Immigration shitshow is the fault of the former coalition government, no ifs or buts.
Back to sustainable levels in 2025
Yet this country, with extreme political amnesia, is 50/50 on the TPP?
Glutton for punishment.
