Based on Labour’s shadow cabinet, 84% went to comprehensive schools, 10% went to private schools and 6% to state grammar schools. That would mean for the first time the cabinet closely reflected British society.

It’s ironic that Dutton is so eagerly pushing “regional and local voices” in his bid to oppose the voice to parliament. Dutton has zero interest in actually listening to local voices – at least not from those who don’t share his views. @rachelrwithers

Scott Morrison wants people who’ve lost work to live on just $40 a day. That won’t help them get a job. It’ll force them into poverty. Labor wants a permanent increase to JobSeeker payments, so Australians who are out of work can live with dignity.
