If you want money, we're inviting you to put your hand up.
Well, five hundred and sixty million dollars, a lot of money, half a billion dollars.
Well, he pointed out that the Parliamentary Budget Office found that the Liberals in the last election campaign made one point five billion dollars worth of
promises to electorates all around the country.
And what we're seeing here is a mirror image from Labour's opponents.
Well well it could well.
I except there is no doubt and the longer of course you're in office as the longer you're Prime Minister, y you'd lose skin and uh and and if nothing else, this would all already confirm for people who who have their doubts about Albanese or don't like him very much, another reason not to, or another reason to doubt him.
I think that this episode will wash over for a couple of reasons.
One is that um Albanese himself
didn't run the overall fund.
He wasn't the one doing the allocations, and all Labour members were invited to participate.
And uh this six million dollars he he he made a big deal out of where the money also went to.
It went to women's uh refuge i in the electorate.
So I think from from that point of view, people will move on and and I suppose it's a another reason why
why politics and issues of integrity and accountability are plaguing particularly the major parties at this time.
Well look, I think there there there is a v a political a element to this policy, but but it's a stretch to say it's an all out attack on free speech.
And why would the coalition reject the government's proposals to address harm on social media, particularly for those under sixteen, throw the whole lot out in the name of protecting free speech?
Uh after all this came in the same week that the
opposition was proposing to make burning the Australian flag a criminal offence.
So their free speech argument doesn't run every which way.
