“How about they just fix the bloody roads?” – The Nationals’ Dr Anne Webster MP on the Albanese Labor Government’s plan to reduce default national speed limits to as low as 70 kilometres an hour on sealed and unsealed roads

"..Australians are reeling from the sentence imposed against a person for the sexual abuse of their five-year old daughter at least 19 times, producing 77 files of child abuse material and sending it to a US paedophile"

Sadly it took the tragic deaths of 4 Australians due to Optus’ second outage last month for the Albanese Government to bring legislation into the Parliament to properly establish the Custodian.
