Zoe Daniel labelled ‘embarrassing' after demanding recount in seat of Goldstein
IPA Senior Fellow and Chief Economist Adam Creighton says it is 'embarrassing' for Teal MP Zoe Daniel to ask for a recount after not conceding defeat. The Australian Electoral Commission is holding a partial recount of votes in the seat of Goldstein after Ms Daniels continued to refuse to concede defeat despite her loss being declared several times. 'The footage of her claiming victory will be one of the funniest sets of footage, I think, in Australian political history,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'They didn't have to do a recount … she would've been better not asking for one.'

‘It's just so depressing': Jim Chalmers to legislate Labor's super tax
IPA Senior Fellow and Chief Economist Adam Creighton says it would be 'terrible' if Treasurer Jim Chalmers legislates Labor's super tax. 'This is a terrible tax, especially the unrealised gains component,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'It's just so depressing. 'I hope … maybe the Liberals can negotiate with Labor to pass a less bad tax.'

‘It will wreck the Australian economy': Coalition advised to ‘dump' net zero targets
IPA Senior Fellow and Chief Economist Adam Creighton claims if the Coalition decides to keep its net zero emissions target it will 'wreck the Australian economy'. 'The reality is, net zero might sound a nice idea, but it's an extraordinarily huge tax on the Australian economy,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Sharri Markson. 'It's putting up energy bills. 'I think Chris Bowen has made a … very cynical, political judgement that in the next three years it's still going to be popular. 'I would say to the Coalition should dump it now and should get ahead of public opinion.'

Coalition's ‘Labor lite' campaign was not ‘far-right'
Senior Fellow and Chief Economist at IPA Adam Creighton says the Coalition's 'Labor lite' campaign wasn't a far-right campaign. 'The accusation that it was a far-right campaign is kind of absurd,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'I don't see how they could possibly become more moderate. 'The Coalition released their own fiscal outlook just a few days before the election, and it was exactly the same, if not worse than Labor's in terms of debt and deficits.'

AI image of Trump as Pope was used in a ‘funny' and ‘amusing way'
Senior Fellow and Chief Economist at IPA Adam Creighton claims US President Donald Trump's use of AI for an image of him being the Pope was 'funny'. 'Trump's the first president where we have had AI,' Mr Creighton told Sky News host Rita Panahi. 'As if these people deeply care about Christianity, they're just making up the fact that they feel offended from the Pope image. 'He's decided to use it in an amusing way. 'It's hard not to find it fun,ny I think.'
