Dutton has promised/threatened to sack 40,000+ public servants if elected PM. Please realise: this is only the start of what he'd do. Like Trump, there will be even worse things he has planned that he won't admit to or announce until after he's won govt. #auspol #AusVotes25 #DicksonVotes #DumpDutton

Supermarkets aren’t the only industry making super profits. The insurers also make huge profits, but they want you to pay more.
Big private health insurers make huge profits... but they want you to pay more
Despite huge profit margins, the big three private health insurers keep higher and higher premiums.

“Dutton needs to win working-class votes in outer suburban Sydney, but his pub-style policies of anti-work-from-home and cutting 40,000 public servants have seen his support dramatically impacted” www.themandarin.com.au/289743-coali... #auspol
Coalition’s attack on WFH, APS cuts blamed for dramatic drop in support, poll shows
Coalition’s anti-flexible work stance and job cuts trigger a sharp voter shift, jeopardising election hopes.

It keeps being reported that the ACCC Inquiry into Supermarkets found no evidence of price gouging going on.

But the reason it didn't find any was because IT WAS NOT EXAMINING IF THERE WAS ANY PRICE GOUGING GOING ON!!!

Cutting 41,000 Australian public servants makes no sense and will not lead to greater efficiency. Listen to CFW A/Director Fiona Macdonald discuss with Glenn Connley @australiainstitute.org.au

The public sector is under fire, but is it really as inefficient as DOGE and Dutton claim?
