Hands up all of you who can’t last the distance on Budget night. Me too. Did anyone hear Jim Chalmers mention rents or climate change? Did I nod off and miss them? These two vital issues show us a big difference between Greens Mandy and Labor (red) Justine.
Mandy and the Greens have been driving the notion of capping rents while the two old parties have their ears clearly blocked on that one.
And climate change? Justine’s Labor keeps giving us new coal and gas opportunities while exporting these fossil fuels to other countries to burn. You probably already know what the Greens have to say about that.
Now Albo is giving Justine a leg up with a big new mental health service in the Tweed. About time. Great for those suffering long mental anguish from the climate change floods, for those suffering from rental stress, and for the young people who live in fear and anxiety about their future in a climate-change world.
