The sight of Indigenous senator Jacinta Price opposing the Voice is one of the most potent messages the No campaign has, says Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “The No camp have Jacinta Price without the music or the fancy production,” Mr Clennell said. “What we’ve seen in the past few weeks I think is the beginning of Jacinta Price potentially becoming a very big political figure in this country. Mr Clennell said Ms Price is a “weapon” when it comes to the argument against the Voice to Parliament. “More people would know Jacinta Price than would know the Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor at the moment.”

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.”

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.”
