Asked a reasonable question about AUKUS and Trump. Was told it’s “not wise” — not “in our national interest” — to even ask. $368 billion on subs, no Plan B, and bipartisan silence?
Yeah, right.

Fact check: are Australia’s international students making it harder to find a rental property as Peter Dutton claims? Just 4% of Australia’s rental properties, or less than one in 20, are occupied by international students, the property council says * Election 2025 live updates: federal election campaign * Polls tracker; election guide; full federal coverage * Dutton keeps blaming migration for the housing crisis. But can it really be that simple? Peter Dutton claims cutting at least 80,000 new international students from Australian higher education institutions will make it easier for you to find a rental property, saying Labor’s high migration intake has fuelled the housing crisis. It would mean space for 115,000 at publicly funded universities and up to 125,000 overseas students in VET sector (such as Tafe), private universities (including the Gold Coast’s Bond University and Melbourne Business School) and non-university higher education providers.

In this last week of Parliament, Labor could be working with the Greens to wipe student debt, make GPs free, and put dental into Medicare. Instead, they're working with Dutton to gut our environment laws.

In a cost of living crisis, Labor's priority is to send a species extinct.

The Greens are leading the way this election, and if you’re looking for some more homework to copy PM, let’s:

🦷 Get dental & mental into Medicare
📚 Wipe student debt
🏠 Cap rent increases
🚫 Stop new coal and gas

Screenshot of a news.com.au article from earlier this month, with the headline: Greens unveil plan to make price gouging 'illegal'.

Greens pressure works!

After adopting most of our plan to see the GP for free, Labor has now followed the Greens’ plan to make supermarket price gouging illegal.

So we’re signed up for AUKUS with a country that openly defies/denies international law.
That could take our defence forces to some even darker places.
