SARAH CUMMING:
You’re listening to mornings on ABC Gold Coast with Sarah Cumming. It is 10 minutes past nine on your rainy Friday morning. A lot on the table to talk about this week in federal parliament. Changes to industrial relations reform. Have you heard about the right to disconnect? Disallowing your boss to call you when you’re at home.
New data proves that despite promising to skill more Australians than the Coalition, Anthony Albanese’s Labor Government is overseeing a wholesale collapse in the number of apprentices and trainees in every state and in almost every electorate across the nation including in our backyard.
Anthony Albanese has looked Australians in the eye and repeatedly lied in my view. Remember the $275 lower electricity price promise? Cheaper mortgages ring a bell?
I think members opposite conveniently forget that stage 1 and stage 2 tax cuts have already been delivered under the Morrison government, and this is stage 3 of those tax cuts. They forget, conveniently, that the low- and middle-income tax offset for those earning $48,000 to $90,000 a year was $1,500. They spruik about an […]

Gold Coast’s federal politicians have been enjoying some cooler weather back in Canberra with Federal Parliament returning this week, the first sitting week of the year. Member for Moncrieff, Angie Bell is there and joins us on the line this morning. Hello Angie.
The COAG Legislation Amendment Bill 2023 seeks to amend several Commonwealth acts to update references to COAG and ministerial councils to reflect the cessation of the Council of Australian Governments, known as COAG, in 2020.

They lied about cheaper child care— The DEPUTY SPEAKER (Ms Claydon): Excuse me, member for Moncrieff: you know that word is unparliamentary, and I ask you to withdraw it. Ms BELL: I withdraw. There is no word that describes the Australian Labor […]
Can I associate the Coalition with the Prime Minister’s remarks on our monarch, King Charles III. Our hearts go out to him, to his family, to the British people and to all those across the Commonwealth who care so deeply about the royal family. The monarch, only one year into his reign, is now struggling […]
A tranche of secret documents demonstrates Labor Ministers have been deliberately using misleading data about Australia’s childcare workforce in media statements and in the Parliament. When confronted with their lie, instead of accepting responsibility, they pathetically tried to blame Hansard for missing a dash.
The Albanese Government has today released another report into the child care sector, kicking their formal response down the road and dragging their feet on action. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission’s 2023 review into the child care sector was formally released today, with the Albanese Government citing they would formally respond to the review’s findings and recommendations in six months’ time.
