Pacific Island countries have the actual need for diversifying their external co-operation and the right to choose their co-operative partners. While a read-out from the meeting said the US “resolved to intensify its engagement in the region to meet 21st-century challenges, from maritime security and economic development to the climate crisis and COVID-19”, it also notes that the four nations also shared their concerns about the “proposed security framework”. United States Indo-Pacific chief Kurt Campbell is on his way to Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, and has just convened a meeting in Hawaii with US Navy Admiral John Aquilino and senior officials from Australia, Japan and New Zealand to discuss the Pacific nation’s insistence on signing the pact.

When Harold MacMillan was asked what throws governments off course, he reportedly responded: "Events, dear boy. The truth is, they haven't learnt from their mistakes. The government's been in office for a decade. So we need a plan. Scott and I agree that Australia is the best country on earth. Rents are going through the roofs. We also need to address the rentral crisis. Some of the measures the government have done are terrific but we're missing out on bits too. What will the government do to help the nursing workforce?

This allowed Turnbull to finish on a strong note, hammering the Howard government’s record at reducing debt. Shorten, by contrast, seemed a little cranky. He was short with Turnbull and Hildebrand, sometimes snarky - but the crowd seemed to like that he showed a bit of mongrel.

Mr Albanese needs to prove himself after a disastrous first week in which he made headlines for wrongly guessing the unemployment rate.

Rudd v Abbott still drew 1.5 million in 2013, before the real decline started. Tonight Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese will face off in the first leaders’ debate of the election campaign. The peak came when 3 million Australians watched Tony Abbott and Julia Gillard slug it out in 2010.

Questionable stats, misleading figures - and even a call that was on the money. RMIT ABC Fact Check examines claims from tonight's first leaders' debate.

Similarly, hearings relating to the law enforcement division would be held in public. The ABS has noted that its "automotive fuel series" was at a record level in the December quarter. Over the 12 months to December, the CPI rose 3.5 per cent while the WPI rose a slower 2.3 per cent. Fact Check has checked a claim from Mr Morrison on this topic before. He also called for the body to have the power to hold public hearings "if it deems that it is in the public interest". In the case of that claim, Fact Check found there was more to the story. In a previous investigation, Fact Check examined a claim made by Social Services Minister Anne Ruston that draft legislation for the government's Commonwealth Integrity Commission published in 2020 showed it would have "powers … well in excess of a royal commission". The first is a "law enforcement integrity division" that would have jurisdiction over certain federal law enforcement agencies, such as the federal police, as well as public sector agencies with investigative functions, like the Department of Home Affairs. As a quick refresher, Operation Sovereign Borders is "a military-led border security operation that was established in 2013" by the Coalition government for the purpose of "combating people smuggling in our region, and preventing people from risking their lives at sea". It shows that between June 2013, three months before the Coalition was elected, and June 2019, seven months before the pandemic, gross debt as a share of GDP grew by 65 per cent, and net debt by 85 per cent. As for economic management, Mr Morrison justified the level of government debt accrued under the Coalition by pointing to the economic damage wrought by the COVID-19 pandemic, which he claimed had dwarfed any crisis Labor had faced when last in office. One of the Opposition Leader’s opening contributions to the debate was a claim that was central to his budget reply speech: "the cost of everything is going up but your wages aren't."

You were on the national security committee so why did you not support turnbacks? "The truth is, we all know China has changed. "Labor does the big things and we also do the big reforms and what the PM has attempted to say there is we have an issue paying for things," Mr Albanese said. Mr Albanese said the economy was in good shape because of the Labor Party. Mr Morrison acknowledged that the Labor Party is responsible for some of the country's biggest reforms. - The debate got heated when Mr Morrison accused Mr Albanese of siding with China

Anthony Albanese, in the first leaders' debate of the 2022 federal election campaign, moved early to establish professional equivalence with Scott Morrison by ...

“I want to unite the country,” Albanese said. “And that’s why this election is very much about who can run the economy and who can manage money. Albanese was actually listening to the question. What are you going to do to restore their trust in the democratic process?” The second was a very obvious evasion of culpability – a wearisome trait that voters have seen on high rotation over the last three years. If you stumble – and Albanese did at one point when he very obviously couldn’t remember why he hadn’t implemented boat turn-backs back when he was deputy prime minister in the late Rudd epoch of Rudd/Gillard/Rudd – then loop back and clean it up. Command this platform without looking smug or over bearing, and when “Scott” is too oily, or too sharp, or slightly too rehearsed – when he gets that serene smart arse expression that voters now very easily recognise – provide the required counterpoint. The government’s policy in our back yard was “not so much a Pacific step-up – it’s a Pacific stuff-up”. “If the government has had a good idea, we’ve been prepared to embrace it.” The woman asking the question had had her son’s package cut under the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Absolute howler. Break back into the debate with some active listening and some empathy. Be the safe change of your campaign messaging.
