Nationals Declare Net Zero: 'Entitled' Like It's Netflix Password
In a satisfying political waltz, Australia's Nationals proudly announced their âentitlementâ to craft their own stance on net zero, apparently treating climate commitments like an optional buffet. Meanwhile, Westpac brought good news by reporting falling mortgage arrears after recent rate cutsâbecause 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.
