for what it's worth, Angus Taylor went to two of the three COP climate summits held while he was energy minister- including 2021 with PM Morrison where he spruiked Australia's net zero pledge
today he says people don't want a "lecture about climate change from a foreign capital"
today he says people don't want a "lecture about climate change from a foreign capital"
Anthony Albanese could not be more out of touch.
Because he has completely lost control of spending, families and small businesses are paying more for everything.
Instead of taking responsibility, rolling up his sleeves, and doing everything he can to bring down inflation and interest rates, the Prime Minister got on another plane to go on another overseas trip.
Australians don’t need Anthony Albanese to give them another lecture about climate change from a foreign capital, they just want to pay less for their mortgage, groceries, and power bills.
They deserve a Prime Minister focused on the things that matter to them, not the things that matter to him.
A Taylor-Canavan Government will always put Australians first.
We will axe Labor’s toxic taxes, stop the out-of-control spending, scrap Net Zero, and get rid of red and green tape.
That’s how you fix the economy.

If I had a nickel for every time Macklemore was involved in a strange controversy around the NRL grand final, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice right
TONES & I STATEMENT
“Tones was recently approached to perform the pre-show at the NRL grand final,” Tonis and I management rep Regan Lethbridge said via a statement to ABC Sport.
“An offer was presented to Tones via management on September 5.
"Tones had a prior commitment with Macklemore in America and explored all avenues to make it work.
“Nothing was signed or confirmed in writing.
"Due to the last-minute nature and prior commitments by Tones, we were unable to accept the offer.
"We wish the NRL nothing but the very best for their event."

On August 27, ICE arrested Milo Yiannopoulos, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom, at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) in Kenner, Louisiana. Yiannopoulos legally entered the country on May 14, 2019, through New York City, New York. He chose to violation of our nation’s laws.
Yiannopoulos was issued a final order of removal by an Immigration Judge on July 22, after failing to show up for his immigration hearing. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.
Being in detention is a choice. We encourage all illegal aliens to take control of their departure with the CBP Home App. The United States is offering illegal aliens $3,000 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S. the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.
