“The way wages rise is unemployment goes down. “The way wages rise is unemployment goes down. Mr Albanese also accused Mr Morrison of only having “smears” and adopting “that smirk” throughout the contest when asked about the debate. “These are passionate topics, this is a big choice, the future of the country, the future of our economy,” he said. Mr Morrison also faced reporters in Nowra on the NSW South Coast on Monday as he announced a plan to invest $8 billion in a fleet of new helicopters. “One of the first things I will do is to convene a full employment summit — we will have a full employment white paper.” “The key to lifting wages is lifting productivity,” he said.

The number of church bell clangs (plus one electric school bell) which interrupted Albanese’s presser at his alma mater in Sydney this morning. The latest Newspoll puts Labor ahead 54-46, with Labor’s primary vote at 39% and the Coalition at 35. Religious discrimination: with Morrison pledging to bring back his religious bill in the next parliament but ruling out bringing on simultaneous changes to protect trans students, Liberal moderates say they may again cross the floor. It was billed as “the great debate” – our political editor Katharine Murphy described it as a “genuine shit blizzard”, with an odd format, lots of shouting, tech issues plaguing the online voting feature and precious little to help voters make up their mind. Gilmore is seen as one of the Coalition’s serious chances of winning a Labor seat, with the high-profile candidate and former NSW minister Andrew Constance running. Albanese and the shadow education minister, Tanya Plibersek, announced $146m for scholarships to encourage high-achieving students to study teaching degrees at uni.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeatedly evaded an uncomfortable question over why voters are appearing to “choose” Anthony Albanese over him.

Popular support for Labor has also lifted a point to 39 per cent, with the Coalition falling a point to 35 per cent. The Prime Minister then went on to criticise Mr Albanese’s aged care and health care policies. What’s the unemployment rate and what’s the cash rate?’ He didn’t know,” Mr Morrison said. “Well there is two weeks to go and a choice is going to be made …” Mr Morrison began before the reporter interjected. “If you’re having a job interview and you ask them ‘there’s something you really need to know about the economy if you want to run it. The Prime Minister ignored the question, continuing on with the line that this election is a choice.

A federal Labor government would contribute at least $2.2b to Victoria's Suburban Rail Loop, a project the Morrison government has argued doesn't stack up.

The total cost could be nearly $100 billion, some experts claim. “We welcome federal Labor’s contribution to the Suburban Rail Loop, which will support thousands of Victorian jobs in the coming years,” he said in a statement. Albanese’s pitch to Victorians creates a point of difference with the Coalition, which was attacked by the Andrews government for allocating just 6 per cent of the federal budget’s infrastructure funding to Victoria, which is home to 26 per cent of the nation’s population. The overall loop would be Australia’s biggest infrastructure project. “I won’t be a prime minister that uses infrastructure to play political games; I will be a prime minister who invests in the projects that matter,” he said in a statement ahead of Tuesday’s announcement. Albanese, a former federal infrastructure minister, said the rail loop connecting the spokes of the train network would “change how Melburnians live” and cater for a city whose population is predicted to reach 9 million by the middle of the century – about the same size as London today.

The Coalition has committed to injecting $18.8 billion into the sector over five years, however has refused to endorse a wage rise for aged care workers, despite saying it would honour decision of the independent wages umpire. That’s what’s happening at the moment.” Labor promised $2.5 billion for aged care in its budget reply and has promised to have 24/7 registered nurses, hire more carers, set higher standards for meals and fully fund a boost for workers through an appeal to the Fair Work Commission to set higher wages.

Anthony Albanese says it “isn't a great shock” that Clive Palmer's United Australia Party has swapped preference recommendations with the Liberal Party in ...

The UAP will also recommend preferencing Liberal incumbents Jason Falinski in Mackellar and Dave Sharma in Wentworth – both of whom are under threat from “teal” independents. Mr Palmer has revealed the UAP will recommend preferencing Liberal incumbents over Labor hopefuls in the crucial marginal seats of Chisholm, Reid and Bass.
