Dutton: Hastie ‘went on strike’ and cost us at election
After he stunned colleagues by quitting Sussan Ley’s frontbench on Friday, the WA MP’s exit opened the door to speculation about the Liberal leader’s position as MPs return to Canberra.

At this election Australia faces a clear choice: A stronger Medicare with more bulk billing for all Australians under Labor. Or more cuts to Medicare under Peter Dutton's Liberals.   #ausvotes #auspol

Labor has just passed legislation to deliver our early educators a 15% pay rise. On top of that, we're keeping costs down by limiting fee increases for families. It’s good for workers and good for families. Learn more below 👇
Labor's pay rise for early educators:

1. 15% pay rise for Early Childhood Education and Care Workers
2. Capping fee increases from Child Care Centres
3. Supporting more than 200,000 early educators across the country

“While I wish there wasn’t a debate about cutting 36,000 public servants, that’s a policy proposition that’s been taken forward by the Liberal and National Party at this election” “I think it’d be bad for the country so I’ve got a duty to call it out.” www.themandarin.com.au/282302-gorma...

And what was the Liberal Party’s response to all of this? In the middle of a housing crisis, Peter Dutton wants to cut $19 billion from housing: ✂️ $10 billion cut from Housing Australia Future Fund ✂️ $5.5 billion cut from the Help to Buy plan ✂️ $3 billion cut from the New Homes Bonus.

That’s not all that’s on our housing agenda. Labor is: Investing more than $10 billion in 40,000 social and affordable homes through the Housing Australia Future Fund. 🏡 Turbo-charging the delivery of 4,000 new social homes via the $2 billion Social Housing Accelerator. 🚀

And so this week is a chance to make this a reality. A similar scheme in WA has helped 120,000 people into their own homes. That’s worth voting for.

The bill is simple. It supports homebuyers with an equity contribution of up to 40 per cent for new homes and 30 per cent for existing homes.   Homebuyers will need a minimum 2 per cent deposit to participate in the Scheme, and will have lower ongoing repayments. www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

An #auspol housing thread 🧵 as we enter the final parliamentary sitting week of 2024. Australians want to own their own home. Parents want their kids to be able to enter the housing market. It is the job of the parliament to help make the Australian dream an Australian reality.
