Independents more likely to hurt Labor and Greens than Liberals
It has become rhythmic: another Saturday morning, another so-called “independent” candidate has spontaneously announced their preparedness to contest yet another Liberal-held seat at the next federal election.

Mike Carlton@MikeCarlton01
What utter tripe. These classy independent women are all running in blue ribbon Tory seats that Labor could never win. They stand a very good chance of trouncing sitting Libs. Hence the panic below. theage.com.au/politics/feder…

Simon Banks@SimonBanksHB
So electricity prices have finally come back to where they were 8 years ago
When - checks notes - Labor was in Government
And the main reasons - lower wholesale prices due to renewables - yep the source the LNP have consistently opposed

Alan Kohler: We need to prepare for climate change, not just mitigate it
The only worthwhile 2030 emissions reduction target is the Greens’ 75 per cent, which is basically impossible. So the government must prepare for the worst.
