ANN EXCLUSIVE | Parliament sits extraordinarily & Conservatives reach 15 seat minority

 Written by RooZaIsBased


Despite the government not attending the most recent parliamentary session due to the 'easter break', the Clerk of the House of Representatives permitted the session to continue, with the LNP and Labor party utilising the opportunity to expel the Prime Minister and censure the Conservative Party.

However, it is unlikely if either of these actually have effect, as it has been attempted previously to no prevail. No statement has been released by the Conservatives in regards to allowing this sitting to occur and the contents of the sitting.

This sitting comes only a day after the Australian Unity Party was dissolved, with an additional 3 seats being given to the Conservative Party, bringing the (according to polls) unpopular governing party to 15 seats, or into minority government (15/30 seats). The Governor General has already denied the LNP's proposal for a Labor minority government, meaning the single party minority Mike_Ritter government will likely continue until the next election.

New polling has been released by multiple news sources, which are showing significant support for the Liberal National Party, however it should be noted that polls intentionally favour the LNP as the LNP has a larger 'active' base, which consistently check newsfeed. One of the more narrow polls by 6 News shows a Two Party preferred of only 51% in favour of the LNP, significantly more marginal compared to other polls which predict the LNP primary to be above 60%.

ABC | A tumultuous week in Politics

 A tumultuous week in Politics This week has been eventful in the political arena, marked by significant developments and controversies. Early in the week, the Attorney General announced the passage of new legislation amending the Commonwealth Crimes Act. According to the Attorney General’s office, the act introduces new offenses, revises definitions of existing crimes, and allows for police prosecutions. Attorney General DanTMoore stated that the introduction of police prosecutions is “realistic and understandable.” Notably, the legislation includes new provisions targeting accessories and conspirators in criminal activities. However, the week was not without its challenges for the government, particularly concerning the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). Newly appointed Director BlazingYeet resigned just days into his tenure after calling on journalists to “not post opinions,” a directive that faced strong opposition from within the government and the legal communi

ANN Exclusive | Transport Australia Lacking Support

  Written by Lawdoood For about a month now, we have seen a massive decrease of activity in Transport Australia. It's quite a shame that the service is inactive because it was starting to look promising for the wider Australia community. Due to the fact that the transport department seems to be lacking in activity and leadership, we reached out to the Director of the service to gain some insight. His statement is as follows, "With the new government coming in power, they have shown no support in the Dept of Transport. I couldn't even find their manifesto to see if they had plans or not. At the current time I am pulling things together and the department should back very soon without government support. However, for the department to thrive, it needs proper attention from the government. TA needs to evolve so it brings interest to more people, not just bus drivers, but to do this, we need a government that will actually allocate proper resources. The last government was a g
