Nationals Declare Net Zero: 'Entitled' Like It's Netflix Password

Meanwhile, Westpac brought good news by reporting falling mortgage arrears after recent rate cuts—because nothing says relief like dodging debt while inflation and unemployment play their own terrifying symphony. Banks are optimistic despite geopolitical trade tensions; Australia apparently views global chaos as a DIY opportunity rather than a crisis. Politicos waxed poetic about constructive teamwork amid momentary noise disruptions, because who doesn't love leadership drama sprinkled with optimistic clichĂ©s? Anthony Albanese might soon medal in hopeful speeches.
