Labor fails to act on red imported fire ant Senate inquiry recommendations

Labor has wasted four months by failing to act on key Senate inquiry recommendations into Red imported fire ants in Australia – ‘don’t let this come back to bite us’. By not acting, the Albanese Government has allowed the eradication zone to explode in size, further north into Burpengary East, west into Mount Sylvia, south into Tallebudgera Valley, as well as outlier areas, as far as Oakey near Toowoomba and Currimundi near Caloundra Airport.

More empty promises from out of touch Prime Minister

The Albanese Government have once again shown Australian families they care more about politics then tackling rising cost of living pressures and inflation. Today’s announcement on child care wages is further proof that Labor is all about spin, not substance. It is abundantly clear that the Albanese Labor Government does not have a meaningful plan to restore the Australian way of life.

KIRSTEN WEBSTER:
Well, how much do you think about politics in your day to day life? Do you only think about it when an election is called? Or are you starting to get a bit more interested as we all feel the effects of this cost of living crisis?

SARAH CUMMING:
You might have heard the saying to never discuss politics or religion at a dinner party. That religion and politics are forbidden topics in polite conversation. But now, another hotly contested issue seems to be joining that list; climate, climate change, climate targets. We often hear the term climate wars these days. Why is it so hard to get consensus on an issue as important as the climate?
