The Liberal and National parties have kissed, made up, and unveiled a Shadow Cabinet so absurd you’d think it was satire. Michaelia Cash in Foreign Affairs? Tim Wilson in Industrial Relations? Angus Taylor with Defence? If you’re wondering whether Australia’s future is in safe hands, this probably won’t help.
Meanwhile, Labor’s quietly signing off on a $200 billion gas giveaway with no royalties and no climate sense, while the ABC deletes interviews that challenge the narrative on Gaza.
From fossil fuel farce to foreign policy freak shows, this week’s Scam of the Week is a full-blown political circus.
