The hotel, estimated by the Los Angeles Times to cost approximately $83 million after renovations—an estimated $282,000 per unit—is extremely costly for temporary interim housing.

Key Points: 
  • The hotel, estimated by the Los Angeles Times to cost approximately $83 million after renovations—an estimated $282,000 per unit—is extremely costly for temporary interim housing.
  • $83 million is approximately one-third of the current Inside Safe budget of $250 million.
  • And the Sinclair is permanent housing.
  • In addition, at a time that the City of Los Angeles is relaying to nonprofits that they will only consider interim housing that have kitchenettes, it is important to note the 290-room Mayfair does not have kitchenettes.

Scott Morrison has accused the Robodebt royal commission of making wrong, unsubstantiated and absurd findings against him, in a detailed statement to parliament.

  • The commission has referred a list of people involved in Robodebt for further action, but the names have not been released.

This agreement aimed to accelerate reducing disadvantage by having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as partners in decision-making.

Key Points: 
  • This agreement aimed to accelerate reducing disadvantage by having Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as partners in decision-making.
  • By documenting the continuing lack of agency First Australians have, the commission has strengthened the case for the Voice.
  • But it has also provided a reminder that a comprehensive framework is there for involving Indigenous people in decisions affecting them.
  • The impression we often get from the Albanese government is of a total void the Voice will fill.
  • Of course the constitutional status being sought for the Voice makes it distinct, and that has raised its own issues.
  • This would put the Voice into a wider, more structured context, which could reassure some undecided or sceptical voters.
  • The PC report also carries a salutary message for anyone who might think the Voice would change everything quickly.

Key Points:

  • But he is anxious to reassure employers, as well as to stress that not all casuals will want to go down this path.

The Liberals lost the seat of Aston at that byelection, which underscored the depth of Dutton’s difficulties in Victoria.

Key Points: 
  • The Liberals lost the seat of Aston at that byelection, which underscored the depth of Dutton’s difficulties in Victoria.
  • Unlike Aston, which became marginal in 2022, Fadden sits on what is considered an impregnable 10.6% margin.
  • Both sides are convinced it will stay in Coalition hands, so it’s all about the size and direction of the swing.
  • Some matter, others don’t, but in today’s fevered politics, their results have impact in the moment.
  • In Fadden, both Labor and the Liberal National Party have had meaty issues on which to campaign.
  • Dutton is reportedly happy with the party’s efforts in Fadden, with the Liberal National Party machine running a competent campaign.
  • The troubles with the Liberals in Victoria are centred on the state parliamentary party but spread through the division.

Few Australians are losing sleep over how Scott Morrison is going to earn a crust after politics.

Key Points: 
  • Few Australians are losing sleep over how Scott Morrison is going to earn a crust after politics.
  • His continuing presence on the opposition backbench serves as a distraction from the present and reminder of the past.
  • Unfortunately, that past keeps intruding on the present – most recently, in the form of the robodebt royal commission report.
  • Leaving aside the independently wealthy Malcolm Turnbull, Morrison is the first prime minister originally elected to parliament under the post-2004 superannuation arrangements for politicians.
  • Of course, former prime ministers receive many other goodies, such as office facilities and free travel, but that does not earn them a living.
  • He has been shopping himself around and seems to imagine a future on the lecture circuit.
  • That is potentially a nice little earner for an ex-leader, as Tony Blair and Bill Clinton have shown.
