Back in Canberra grilling the big banks – because digital payments shouldn’t cost you more than cash.
We’ve made real progress on fee-free digital payments, and today’s RBA review hearings were another step in the right direction.
“The (Climate Change) Authority recommends the Govt. should aim for the top of the 62-70% range, prepare for breakthroughs and setbacks, and not rule out 'overachievement,' should greater emissions reductions prove possible. This will keep us moving towards net zero emissions by 2050 at the latest”
Incredible scenes over at the coalition. Will they ever learn? Nah, it’s the voters who were wrong.
Meanwhile we’re getting on with the job we were twice elected to do.

Think the Liberals will learn?
Nah. Probably not hey #auspol
ICYMI: Latest inflation figures are in, and they’re welcome. That’s four consecutive quarters in a row that inflation is in the RBA’s band.
Under the Liberals, inflation was high and rising. Under Labor, it’s now within band and falling.
More to do.
The Liberals? Well they just don’t get it.
With China, Australia will agree where we can, disagree where we must, and always act in the national interest.
✅ Showed mature and firm leadership, without fear-mongering or political point scoring
✅ Provided clarity on foreign investment rules – welcoming it but not compromising our national interest
✅ Strengthened business and trade ties across energy, minerals, and tourism;
The PM:
I call it productive.
The Liberals called the PMs trip to China indulgent.

Saw this stuck at the bottom of my yellow bin. Leaving it there as a reminder #auspol
The state of the Liberal party to just not have the ability to read the room needs to be studied #auspol

Labor has now received two mandates to transition to renewable energy. This one bigger than the last.
That means more solar, more wind and more storage to firm it up.
Bring it on
