Very dishonest,” Mr Bolt said.

NSW Labor government’s budget will be ‘for the union movement’Shadow NSW Treasurer Damien Tudehope says the Minns government’s budget, to be handed down on Tuesday, is “for the union movement”. NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey will deliver Labor’s first state budget in 13 years on Tuesday. In a cost of living crisis, the focus is on what will be cut to pay for new spending, like public sector wage rises, and whether Labor can change the trajectory of the state’s debt. “The only promises I think you can expect the government not to break tomorrow are the ones that they’ve made to the unions,” Mr Tudehope told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “This is a budget for the union movement, not necessarily a budget for the future of this state and the vision.”

‘Preach love, practice hate’: Calls for Yes campaign to condemn ‘childish’ protestorsLiberal MP Tony Pasin says the “childish” protesters outside SA’s No campaign launch “preach love' but they practice 'hate'. Around 1,000 people attended the No campaign launch in South Australia and were greeted by demonstrators shouting profanities as they walked inside the Adelaide Convention Centre on Monday night. “I don’t want to see these scenes across the next four weeks, I don’t want to see them on referendum day – we need the leaders of the Yes campaign to call this behaviour out as unacceptable and disassociate themselves with this rogue, radical element,” Mr Pasin told Sky News Australia. “This behaviour is unacceptable, we have got to have a respectful debate and that wasn’t respectful – in fact, it was intimidatory and bordering on assault. “This is nothing more than childish intimidatory behaviour and it will turn people off.”

Richard Marles ‘hasn’t delivered anything’ in defenceThe Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles “hasn’t delivered anything” in defence. Mr Sheridan’s remarks come after he suggested in his column on Tuesday that AUKUS might never materialise. “It’s very simple, any nation in history which has gone down the nuclear submarine route has to spend a lot more money – they’re very expensive,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “If you don’t spend that money, but you keep your defence budget constant, you end up cannibalising all your other capabilities. “We are wasting $50 billion a year to produce virtually no significant military capabilities.”
