RBA interest rate hike: Our plight under Opposition light

The Prime Minister deflected the question on rampant government spending with Medicare praise.

From the Press Gallery: Below my seat in the press gallery, the Liberal Party sits in Parliament as a shadow government and a shadow of its former self. Sussan Ley’s first question was:

When will the government’s reckless spending end?

Albo rose to his feet to answer as the Opposition called a point of order. Government MPs were shouting ‘time’ in direct conflict with the Speaker’s rules which cut-off Opposition speakers. Instead of spending, Albo spoke about cheaper medicine.

My latest in The Spectator Australia, RBA interest rate hike: Our plight under Opposition light.

The Treasurer is making jokes about the Nationals being a minor party while the RBA raises interest rates and families suffer.

The arrogance and disconnect is real.
