You would think nine years in Opposition would prepare Labor for government, and yet after 18 months they’ve absolutely failed the Australian people. Labor has failed on the economy, delivering 12 interest rate rises, skyrocketing gas, electricity, grocery, and petrol prices.
Last Friday’s edition contained a thought bubble from the new housing minister that intended to deflect from the mounting woes of the state Labor Government. Typical Labor talking points that say there is nothing to see here and blame the previous federal government for the crisis in housing gripping our region.
TOM CONNELL:
A new report has found a lack of regional child care services still has parents choiceless. The Parenthood report has revealed childhood education and care services are limited to non-existent in regional areas. That means children are missing out on educational, social and health benefits and parents, of course, many of them can’t re-enter the workforce or can’t get the number of days they want to. The report has called for change to back better access.
GREG JENNETT:
All right, time now for our political panel, and joining us we have here in the studio, Labor frontbencher Anthony Chisholm, welcome back Anthony. And from Queensland, LNP frontbencher Angie Bell is with us and she’s in Brisbane, I believe, welcome to you Angie.
JULIE CLIFT:
4 million Australians have already voted in The Voice to Parliament referendum. Millions of others are set to follow suit at the polls in just 48 hours.
The lack of action by the state and federal governments for the ticking time bomb that is the infestation of fire ants across the premier tourism destination of the Gold Coast is jaw-dropping.
GREG JENNETT:
Well on that note, let’s bring in our political panel, both located in Queensland today. Joining us, the normally Canberra based Labor MP Alicia Payne is in Brisbane for you guessed it, the ALP Conference and LNP frontbencher Angie Bell joins us from the Gold Coast.
PAUL MURRAY:
There’s no sooks, no lefties. That’s what we’re about tonight and those perfect examples as the carryover champ, as always on a Thursday night, lovely Bronwyn Bishop, former Speaker of the House, Federal Minister and our mate who knows oh, so much. Lovely to see you. Did you enjoy Albo’s interviews this week?
