Albanese on with Sally Sara on RN Breakfast, it's painful listening

Defending AUKUS, blaming the Senate for blocking environmental protection laws (instead of working with the Greens to get it done)

A long list of talking points on achievements that pretty much hit the mark

He isn't a great communicator, luckily Chalmers will be the one selling the message for the next few days

I don't agree with all his suggested solutions but Ken Henry didn't miss in his speech yesterday

He'll be on #RNBreakfast after 8am this morning

"Recent governments have carried out “wilful acts of bastardry” and created intergenerational inequality and environmental destruction that will leave younger voters worse off, the former Treasury secretary Ken Henry has said, urging tweaks to Australia’s tax system to bridge the growing divide."

Powerful interview with Zali this morning on #RNBreakfast re donation reforms

She didn't miss Don Farrell when they crossed paths entering/leaving the studio either. Whack

That will likely get some media coverage during the day

The whole thing is a stitch up between the major parties

Francesca Albanese on RN Breakfast calling out Sally Sara when she added the usual caveats about the genocide in Gaza, well played

Interview definitely worth a listen when the recording is available

#auspol #RNBreakfast

Always entertaining when these two get together

I obviously don't agree with everything they say but they were mostly on the money today

Well worth the 13 minutes the wide ranging interview went for

Good interview with Andrew Wilkie from this morning on gambling advertising and whistleblower laws

Sounds like it will be an interesting sitting of parliament coming up, if it happens, which looks highly likely now

Pretty good interview this morning with Katy, mostly said the right thing. Fingers crossed for a good CPI number today and a rate cut next month

One annoying thing though, she said it's hard to get reforms through the Senate. It would actually be easy to get genuine reforms through if the government was more ambitious rather than just tinkering around the edges

Interesting interview with Peter Malinauskus on #RNBreakfast

Covered a few topics, one that doesn't warrant a mention, education funding and the last one of needing a cabinet reshuffle because the Independent member, Dan Cregan, is resigning

He seemed quite positive about having independents in cabinet. A sign of things to come federally?
