Health Minister Greg Hunt argued the pledge lacked detail.
“This morning we’ve seen another day, another train wreck from Mr Albanese,” Mr Hunt said.
“It’s ever more clear that he’s just not up to it.
“Today we’ve seen a billion-dollar slush fund from the leader of the opposition for undisclosed recipients, through undisclosed recipients, through undisclosed ministerial processes, through undisclosed parties for undisclosed purposes.”
An elderly man had been given a sterile jar by his doctor and requested to return to
the surgery the next day with a sperm sample.He returned the next day with an empty jar.
“What happened?” asked the doctor.
“Well” said the man “I tried with my left hand, no good; so I tried with the right hand,
again no good”He then said “So I asked my wife to help; but she had no luck either, trying with both
hands and even putting it between her legs”“I then went next door” said the man “and asked my neighbour if she could help”
“She tried with her left hand, no good; she tried with her right hand, again no good;
she even put it in her mouth, but that didn’t work either”“What!” exclaimed the doctor “you asked a neighbour?”
“Yes” replied the man “she did her best, but none of us could get the lid off the jar”
Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese will face off only 10 days out from election day in the third and final leaders’ debate, hosted by the Seven Network.
7NEWS Political Editor Mark Riley will moderate the debate, to be held on Wednesday at 9.10pm AEST, featuring questions from The West Australian’s Federal Political Editor Lanai Scarr and 7NEWS political correspondent Jennifer Bechwati, fresh from the campaign trail.
Australia’s gambling industry is in the midst of a reckoning.
Money laundering. Financial fraud. Criminal infiltration.
Mounting evidence against casino giant Crown, then rival The Star, and now pokies in pubs and clubs has raised uncomfortable questions about the potential flow of tainted money into political coffers just as the federal election battle reaches fever pitch.
“There’s a stench in the industry,” says Graeme Orr, professor of law at the University of Queensland.
Organisations and individuals linked to the gambling industry have poured at least $18 million in political donations into the states and territories in recent years, an ABC investigation can reveal. This is compared with $50 million disclosed at the Commonwealth level in the decade to 2019-20.
More than three-quarters of the $18 million flowed to the ALP and its investment vehicle, the 1973 Foundation Pty Ltd.
