Labor’s new mergers regime, not yet in effect, is creating confusion and uncertainty. Regulations being rewritten on the run. Legislative changes already flagged. Rather than strengthening competition, these design flaws risk harming investment. https://t.co/yHhD9pfKrm

The ACCC has received double the number of merger notifications expected, with investors calling for the thresholds to be refined before the system is mandatory.

Reserve Bank keeps interest rates on hold, citing higher inflation. This higher inflation is being driven by Labor’s out-of-control government spending.
At its meeting today, the Board decided to leave the cash rate unchanged at 3.60 per cent. Read the full statement here: https://t.co/a0knswZloW

Australians are growing poorer under Labor. Our economic performance over the past three years is one of the worst of any developed economy.

Superannuation belongs to workers, not the government. Why does Labor think it is okay to direct where it should be invested?

Inflation in Australia is surging, the result of Labor’s economic mismanagement. It is driving prices up, keeping interest rates higher, and making essentials more expensive.

The Govt must extend the exemption and work with the sector on a fair, lasting model that reflects reality. Charities deserve certainty — and Australians deserve the services they provide. #auspol #charities #FairWork

That’s not job security — it’s service insecurity. And it’s Australians who’ll pay the price: fewer counsellors, fewer community programs, fewer services when people need them most.

Labor’s “two contracts then permanent” rule might work for bureaucracies — but not for charities living contract to contract. Without flexibility, charities face two bad options: ❌ Make staff permanent without secure funding ❌ Or cut jobs and services

🚨 Charities face a cliff — and Labor is dragging its feet. From 1 Nov, the Government’s exemption for charities under its Fair Work rules expires. That means uncertainty for 1.5 million workers and disruption to essential services. 🧵

Australia has imported $US2.5bn in oil refined from Russian crude — sending $US1.3bn in tax revenue to Moscow. That is more than we’ve given Ukraine in aid. Labor cannot even rule out if the ADF runs on Russian fuel. It’s time for Australia to end this national disgrace.
Defence’s major fuel supplier cannot rule out that tanks, planes and ships are being powered by fuel produced by controversial Indian refineries using Russian oil.
