The oppo say Fee-Free TAFE is “wasteful spending.”. I’m not surprised. This is the group who STILL haven’t said sorry to the victims of their illegal Robotdebt scheme. Instead of targeting vulnerable Aussies like the previous gov, we’re giving them the support they need.

They debate every election.
@BOConnorMP @AngusTaylorMP @JEChalmers Since when do Treasurers have a campaign debate ? There is ALWAYS a leaders debate where the economy is front and centre . Is Jim worried Albo will stuff it up and be as always not across any detail ? I think there lies the answer. Taylor / Dutton are not going to get sucked in.
