Won’t take long. Taylor and Hume made clueless mistakes leading into the last election, so the party is now rewarding incompetence.

[Trader]

The perception of Ley is absolutely toxic.
How she sided with Albo to get that hate speech legislation through was devastating for her likability.

With all the angst against the current government with respect to immigration pressures on housing, and general cost of living issues, all she had to do was present as an alternative. Instead, she went and did a midnight deal and jumped into bed with Albo.

One nation was growing anyway, but that action alone from Ley shoved 100s of thousands of conservative voters from blue to orange.

She has two years to try and fix it, but the damage that late night deal did will follow her for the rest of her career.

Ok, it was less than 2 years

Got me ****ed why anyone would want the job
A seat in the Senate would be good enough for me
I'd sit back for 6 years and enjoy the $217k plus sit on every committee to pump it up

[Jim05]

Sounds like Ley dropping bombs on the way out.
By-election in her seat. If ON managed to take it that would really spice things up

Not sure how you be can leader of a federal major party one minute and telling the world that you’re the one to lead to country, then just 9 months after the last election after losing the leadership, throw the toys out of the cot and quit parliament.

She was never up for it.

Just watched a bit of Taylor’s press conference, what a smug prick

She wasn’t up to it.
Going by her years of service it appears she would get the highest government pension allowable so maybe she isn’t silly after all

Inflation remained at 3.8%. However, trimmed mean inflation (underlying inflation) the RBA’s preferred measure increased to 3.4% annually up from 3.3%. Chalmers now saying stay tuned for more inflation - which is code for your mortgages are going up.

Just recovering the losses they'd taken in the previous couple of years.

In 2007 WOW.ax was trading at $28
After today's 10% jump, its closing in on $35

1.2% per annum over the last 18 years.
Hardly exorbitant growth to suggest price gouging.

I don't get that we're supposed to hate Colesworth, while at the same time blowing smoke up the skirt of right wing crony JP Drake and the Fuhrer's favourite, Aldi.

Woolies and Coles employ many, many kids, mine included. They're great companies for young 'uns looking to get a foot in the employment door, and I'm just as happy to shop there as I am at my local Foodland, butcher & fruit shop.

[Brodlach]

I agree wenchy.

Drakes is so much more expensive than the other two and their meat quality is ordinary.

Having had two kids work there, they don’t treat their staff too well at times too but that was more the management than the owners.

I've heard similar things, so maybe it goes further than management

Coles and Woolies make miniscule profits based on their revenue
