It’s the most significant reform of the tax system in over a quarter of a century, and it's all about helping more first homebuyers into the market and delivering another tax cut for every Australian worker. This is a victory for Australian workers and first homebuyers.

There is no point trying to organise a ceasefire when it involves Israel. They will never stop killing people because they are extremists who see others as subhuman. The only way to stop the killing is to stop Israel and prosecute them.
