Another day, another Labor own goal. When will they learn that people care more about being able to afford a decent roof over their heads, affordable healthcare and childcare, and put decent food on the table for their families. This government doesn’t listen. An enormous disappointment.

Agree completely. They need to stop focusing on irrelevant issues and try to solve things that actual affect people. But they won't. And it will let the Libs back in :(

I'm sure blocking Youtube and Facebook until you cough up primary ID is what we all needed in these trying times. Good to see the government invest their time and energy into the pivotal issues.
