Papua New Guinea is our closest neighbour and we share a history forged by the horrors of war. Last week I had the privilege of visiting the Kokoda Track and seeing the difference our investment is making to somewhere our shared stories were made.

Liberal Party members in South Australia just elected this guy as their President. Every day, the Liberals tie themselves closer to One Nation. Because the Liberals can’t govern without One Nation. And One Nation can’t govern without the Liberals.

It’s not the brand that’s the problem, it’s the product. Australians don’t want more Liberal Party cuts and higher Liberal Party taxes.

Pauline Hanson showed her only plan for Australia is more division, more chaos and more cuts. It’s not the change Australia needs.

Pauline Hanson has today laid out her plan to cut your wages, make it easier to sack you and force you to pay more to see a GP.

Pauline Hanson complains about kids in poverty, but votes to cut their parents’ pay. She complains abt medicine costs, but votes to make them cost more. She complains abt power prices, but wants expensive nuclear power. Pauline Hanson complains a lot, but would make things worse.

Policies like cutting pay for workers? I’m sure you guys have a lot in common. One Nation talks about fighting for battlers but they’re funded by billionaires and oppose every wage rise Labor has delivered.

Dejan and Stacey at the Australian National University are researching how to design wind farms without impacting the gang-gang cockatoo and other species. Great stuff and a great step forward for Australia’s precious environment.

Today Labor takes the next step to deliver another two tax cuts for working Australians. And the Liberals, Nationals and One Nation are opposing it. We’re for every Australian to get ahead, not just some.
