On other matters

And just like that, with the kiddies off Nauru, the Greens’ Richard Di Natale wants the men off Nauru, too.

Peter, Whitfield Fear of tilapia invasion, so please get rid of the tilapia fish cause it’s a pest. Janelle, Woree A “decarbonised economy”, eh? How is that different to a flat beer?

People (mainly self-managed retirees) who don’t pay tax will not get a refund under Labor. You shouldn’t get a refund if you’ve paid no tax. Pensioner retirees are exempt.
