Labor ‘happy’ to see taxpayer funds go to former party figures without a tender processSky News host Rita Panahi has taken a look at former Labor figures doing 'very well thanks to the largesse' of taxpayers. Sydney Morning Herald revealed that former Labor minister Greg Combet was awarded a lucrative contract advising the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet without an open tender process. 'We're not accusing those recipients of acting improperly, not at all, but I've got to say the optics aren't great for the Albanese government,' Ms Panahi said. When the Morrison government was still in power, Labor members were vocal about spending public money without an open tender process. 'How quickly the worm turns - now that Labor is in power, they're happy to see taxpayer funds go to former Labor figures without a tender process,' Ms Panahi said. 'Perhaps they're just creating potential cases for their new National Anti-Corruption Commission to look at.'

‘Disgraceful manipulation’: PM blasts Liberal Party’s election day boat textPrime Minister Anthony Albanese slammed the Liberal Party for an incident which occurred on election day last year, describing it as one of the most “disgraceful manipulations” in Australian politics. A text message was sent by the Liberal Party on the day of the 2022 federal election urging Australians to vote for the Coalition after an illegal boat was intercepted off the west coast of Christmas Island. “I seem to remember millions of Australians getting a text message on election day, not when we were the government, when they were the government,” Mr Albanese said during Question Time on Thursday. “It’s true that perhaps the Minister (Karen Andrews) wasn’t the one who authorised it, perhaps the other Minister for Home Affairs was the one who authorised it.”

Liberals need to understand that the Voice is a ‘deal-breaker’ for many Coalition votersThe Liberal Party needs to understand that the issue of the Voice to Parliament is a “deal-breaker” for many Coalition voters, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. Ms Panahi’s remarks come after it was revealed that rank-and-file members of the Northern Territory’s Country Liberal Party are urging the party to officially oppose the Voice. Sky News Australia obtained motions drafted by three of the party’s branches - Darwin, Alice Springs and Rural branches – for debate at this weekend’s central council meeting, which argues CLP should adopt a formal position opposing the Voice. “If the Coalition mounts a fact-based, rational campaign, they will win the debate, and the referendum will fail,” Ms Panahi said. “If they support it or run dead, then it has every chance of succeeding. “Either the Liberals take a principled stand, or they’ll see their support base fractured further.”
