Exclusive: Frydenberg’s office canvassed whether he had power to weaken grasslands protections after Angus Taylor raised the issue, which was affecting a company he part-owns

I wonder who'll get a visit from the AFP now this has hit the fan.

Plastic bag bans are weakening the economy
24/06/2019|1min
The Treasury has been warned that plastic bag bans are contributing to a weaker economy, reportedly prompting shoppers to consume less and delay purchases because they're unable to carry groceries.




I don't think it's lack of plastic bags that's weaking the economy... it's more like stagnant wages, penalty rate cuts and poor Govt. economic management

unfortunately they are serious in thinking that we'll buy that story as a reason for the economy being in the doldrums

A tweet I saw this morning asked why the downturn in car sales and house prices then. They don’t come in bags 😄

interest rate 1%.........as someone who had a mortgage when it was 18%, unbelievable.....but it demonstrates that the economy is in trouble

that pic of the audience is just plain scary

This is not what I want.

What are we? The bible belt USA? Pro life comes next.

who would've thunk it could possibly happen here Joono..... I find it scary

nope, only gays. just like certain states in america.

I found out what * if you have a go, you get a go". means

It means *you reap what you sow*.. this is apparently what Hillsongers believe and explains their lack of empathy for others

there's some bad stuff going on in the world Kay... my daughter told me about this a couple of months ago... I hadn't even heard about it

meanwhile here in Aust, the rorting Govt keeps rorting

CONTROVERSIAL Federal MP Barnaby Joyce has been using a bank account set up to manage his electorate allowance to pay the rent for his Armidale home.

A furious Mr Joyce slammed what he called a “malicious and false” attack on his integrity and defended the use of the account, saying it was for “multiple purposes” and received deposits from a range of sources, including sheep sales on his family farm.

Just days after Mr Joyce staunchly defended the use of politicians’ electorate allowances, The Sunday Mail can reveal the former deputy prime minister has this year made regular deposits of more than $400 a week into the account of a real estate agent in Armidale, where he now lives with new partner Vikki Campion and their two infant children.

Federal politicians receive up to $46,000 a year in electorate allowances, designed to help them engage with their constituents, but under parliamentary guidelines they are allowed to retain any unspent funds.

Former Senator Derryn Hinch has called for an end to the “rorting’’ of electorate expenses while the Australian Taxpayers’ Alliance wants politicians to come clean on all their allowance expenses.


While the loophole has attracted community anger, Mr Joyce defended the payments, saying he worked hard for his money and would earn more working as an accountant.

The Sunday Mail understands Mr Joyce has this year made regular deposits of $415 a week to First National Real Estate Armidale from a bank account which receives almost $4000 a month in electoral allowance payments.

Under parliamentary guidelines, Mr Joyce is eligible for the maximum $46,000 in annual electorate allowances due to the large area of his New England seat.
