Turnbull basically saying the #AUKUS agreement is no longer appropriate for Australia, with the Sepppos in their current parlous state. Not just the subs (which will be obsolete if they ever arrive) but the whole sucking up to America situation. "The world has changed, we need to be able to look after ourselves". Very critical of Albo's stance on AUKUS from day one. #AusPol #AfternoonBriefing

Less than 25% of voters believe #inflation would have been lower if the #LNP were in power vs #Labor.
Voters are cynical about the LNP's empty promises.
Pathological LNP liars like Peter Dutton, Jane Hume and Angus Taylor are so unaccustomed to being fact-checked they turn into spluttering stuttering messes when faced with the smallest amount of push-back.
Angus Taylor met a young family that's struggling with high interest rates and cost of living pressures.

Filed under: You can't make this stuff up.
Canberra bubble journo demands election campaign plane to swan around the country, in the MIDDLE of a #CostOfLiving crisis. Who's paying for it?
To top it off, Dutton blames Labor for COL crisis.
1/2. The #ABC's Patricia Karvelas asks #Labor's Anne Aly about Peter Dutton's politicisation of #antisemitism.
Aly comes out guns blazing, pointing out the #LNP's opposition to 18c (to allow their spread of #Islamophobia).
The #ABC's idea of 'balance' is to have two people from the SAME POLLING COMPANY talking about the results of their anti-Labor push-polling.
Balance is when there's one person on each side of the presenter?
#AfternoonBriefing is airing McCormack and Littleproud with their ultra-conservative views. They want to reinstate #LiveExports, allow unfettered mining of any type, and suddenly they want full scale #Nuclear not #SMRs (Small Modular Reactors). Fundementally they don't understand Climate Science, the long term risks of nuclear energy, ecology or diplomacy, For them, policy is all about short-term self-interest. That's the #LNP way
The ABC has taken a sudden interest in #SexTrafficking. I guess he's not a rich white dude.
Why did Jeffrey #Epstein have FOURTEEN PHONE NUMBERS for Donald #Trump?

The ABC is getting 'detail' on the costings of Peter Dutton's #nuclear 'plan' from the Liberal Party's Paul Fletcher.
2021 (Guardian): "Fletcher described $30 million western Sydney airport land purchase (worth $3 million) as 'perfectly sensible'"
Peter Dutton follows up on his promise to release more detail on his #nuclear plan.

1/2. Bridget Brennan boldly asks the questions that give David Speers and Patricia Karvelas nightmares.
#Dutton and the #LNP claimed there was no detail for #TheVoice, and #IfYouDontKnowVoteNo.
BB calls out the BS. 
Will #ABC News Director Justin Stevens put Peter #Dutton under pressure over his plan to cancel #NetZero targets for #ClimateClimate?
Continued thread
2/2. Matthew Doran:
"Is Andrew Giles staying in the portfolio (immigration) because no one else in #Labor ranks would want to take it up at the moment?"
versus Justin Stevens rebuking Laura Tingle for stating facts.
1/2. Matthew Doran:
"Do you think there'd be people at home watching on and thinking HOW ON EARTH he still has a job when there are now convicted criminals being allowed to stay in this country...?"
Leigh: Dutton released 100 sex offenders.
