PM Anthony Albanese called an urgent caucus meeting on Wednesday to go through some cost-of-living solutions. As for what those are – insert shrugging lady emoji – but Treasury has been asked to provide some ideas that don’t add to inflation. Last weekend, News Corp published a poll of 1,000 Aussies, with 74% nominating cost of living as their #1 priority. Further to that, more than 80% said the Albanese Government has failed to tackle the crisis… And we had to break it to you, but we’re rounding the corner to head into the final straight of the electoral cycle, so Team Albanese is keen to demonstrate they’re onto it after 2023’s focus on the Voice referendum. After that meeting with his colleagues, Albanese will address the National Press Club on Thursday, so get that in your diary this week.
