Albanese Mulls Joining Trump’s Mysterious 'Board of Peace', Because Why Not?
KEY POINTS
- •Prime Minister Albanese confirmed new childcare subsidies started 6 January and cheaper $25 medicines rolled out 1 January to ease cost of living.
- •He said Australia is considering Donald Trump’s nebulous invite to a 'Board of Peace,' but the board's mission remains unclear.
- •Amid ongoing fires near Gellibrand, Albanese criticized the Coalition’s shift towards One Nation policies and announced increased school funding this fortnight.
While the bushfire smoke thickens over Carlisle River near Gellibrand, Prime Minister Albanese juggled the nation’s burning crises with stunning multitasking flair. On 6 January, three days of guaranteed childcare subsidies rolled out like a toddler tantrum, followed close behind by $25 cheaper medicines from 1 January, because saving cents apparently soothes national anxiety better than water on fires. Tens of thousands have already dialed 1800 Medicare like it’s the hottest hotline in town. Meanwhile, Albanese teased 'further consideration' of Donald Trump’s enigmatic invitation to a Board of Peace, which remains as clear in purpose as a buttered window. Political sparks flew as Albanese accused the Coalition of channeling their inner One Nation, flipping parties’ preferences like a political DJ remix gone awry. The school funding boost kicks in as kids return, proving you really can walk and chew gum, if your gum is government policy and your walk is a bushfire treadmill.
