Next month’s federal budget is an even tighter balancing act than usual, with Treasurer Jim Chalmers facing global economic uncertainty, a fuel crisis and the need to juggle cost-of-living relief with combating inflation. The government has been weighing up changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, a gas export
Since the South Australian state election last month, myself and the other six new One Nation Parliamentarians have been busy organising ourselves for our first few weeks in Parliament.
We have a big responsibility to hold the failing Labor government to account and we will not shirk from our responsibilities, for if the last four years have taught us ...
Sir Olly Robbins has only been giving evidence to the foreign affairs committee for 20 minutes, and already he has made clear that he is not going to allow Keir Starmer to shape the narrative around Peter Mandelson’s vetting. The former permanent under-secretary at the Foreign Office told MPs within minutes of starting his session that when he started ...
Liz Truss’s greatest fiscal sin was her Energy Price Guarantee. True, markets didn’t like her tax cuts unmatched by spending cuts, and a Budget which froze out the Office for Budget Responsibility.

Of all the politicians to take up arms against Sir Humphrey, Keir Starmer is the most unlikely. After all, this dream-free embodiment of bland managerialism and stultifying bureaucracy is – as a former director of public prosecutions – the first prime minister to have served as a Whitehall permanent secretary. He is the mandarins’ mandarin.
