Labor delayed WA gas project extension to secure ‘more Greens preferences'
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell claims the Albanese government delayed their decision on the North West Shelf gas project until the past the election so they could secure more Greens preferences. The Albanese government is set to approve an extension of a major West Australian gas project as the nation's transition to renewable energy comes under pressure. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has said, as Australia transitions to renewable energy, the country still needs gas in the system as a reliable form of baseload power.

‘Lack of clarity' around impact of Labor's super tax on federal politicians
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has flagged the 'lack of clarity' around the Albanese government's super tax and how it will affect federal politicians. The proposed legislation will apply a 30 per cent tax rate to super balances of more than $3 million, including unrealised capital gains. 'We already revealed here on Sky News those on the ex-state MP scheme, state judges, state police commissioners, won't cop the tax,' Mr Clennell said. 'A very simple fix is to make it on the withdrawals from the fund, not unrealised gains.'

Speculation over whether Bradfield will go to a by-election amid close contest
Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has speculated whether the seat of Bradfield will have to go to a by-election amid a close contest following the federal election. 'Could there be a by-election in the seat of Bradfield because the result between Liberal Gisele Kapterian and teal independent Nicolette Boele is just so close,' he said. 'If the seat gets any closer, it could end up in the court of disputed returns over who is eligible to vote, for example, and one option I'm told is to go to a by-election.'

Paul Whittaker, Chief Executive Officer of Sky News Australia said: 'Following the Albanese Government's resounding second term win, we are honoured to welcome back Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to the Australia's Economic Outlook event. 'Much was promised during the election campaign, from tax cuts for all Australians, to an $8.5 billion boost to Medicare, and a doubling down on the transition to renewable energy. While the recent RBA announcement of the year's second interest rate cut, reducing the official cash rate to its lowest level in two years, is welcome relief for homeowners amid easing inflation, Australia's economic growth continues to be sluggish, as the national debt soars to record levels. The crucial Australia's Economic Outlook will bring together business and political decision-makers to discuss these challenges and determine whether the outlook points to decades of deficits, or if the government's economic vision will lead to greater prosperity.'
