Billionaires Battle for Backyard: Aussie Govt Plays Mortgage Babysitter

Albanese lamented, 'Australia is becoming a ridiculous nation where the taxpayer is underwriting mortgage insurance schemes for extremely wealthy people.' Meanwhile, the PM looks forward to comparing notes with Trump as 'summit season' arrives.
