Last Post: Albo eyes the departure lounge

Rejoyce, I say. Albo is determined to put Australia first (class). Business (class) can fend for themselves, and who really cares about the economy (class)?

Anthony Albanese often reminds us of his roots. Well, as the latest scandal grows and the hole he digs himself gets ever deeper, the Prime Minister is slowly inching closer to them.

I wonder what former Australian Catholic University vice-chancellor Greg Craven, a man with a keen eye for the absurd, makes of a Catholic speaker being publicly condemned by the Catholic university’s current vice-chancellor for articulating support of Catholic teachings (“ACU boss surrenders faith of his university”, 29/10)?

In my electorate of Kooyong, I would like to know what policies the elected independent teal has proposed that are not borrowed from Labor and the Greens, given the member has voted with the Greens 78 per cent of the time on substantive bills. Not once has there been an independent policy proposed that addresses voter concerns.

What is the point of being independent?’

Brisbane’s 2032 Olympics are becoming toxic – indecision, likely massive cost blowouts and wrangling about the sites to be used. Are the Games worth it?

Will the nation’s most generous pay deal for schoolteachers translate into improved educational outcomes? That is the question.
