The Saturday Paper, Post, 6 December 2021:
Labor leader Anthony Albanese has unveiled a higher education policy at a rally in Western Sydney, while Prime Minister Scott Morrison engaged in his own election campaign-style events.
What we know:
Albanese revealed a $1.2bn plan to create 65,000 new university and TAFE places if it wins next year’s election;
Labor would cover fees for 465,000 TAFE places in the areas hit hardest by Covid-19, such as hospitality, tourism and construction;
Up to 20,000 new university places will be created, with priority for First Nations Australians, people in remote and regional areas, and those who are the first in their family to study at university;
“We are seeking renewal – not revolution,” Albanese told the rally in the marginal Liberal-held seat of Reid;
Morrison meanwhile visited the Bathurst 1000, meeting race fans and taking a lap in the safety car, before meeting volunteers and farmers in flood-affected Forbes in NSW;
tIt comes as the final Newspoll for the year records Labor’s two-party lead unchanged at 53-47;
The Coalition is shielding itself from scrutiny in the leadup to the election, with just 10 parliamentary sitting days for the first six months of 2022.
A frequent complaint on social media is that the Murdoch-Stokes-Costello media cabal along, with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, often do not broadcast Leader of the Opposition & Labor MP for Grayndler Anthony Albanese’s press conferences or policy announcements in full - either cutting to a doorstop with the prime minister or to a television news item having all the merit of a newspaper side column filler.
So for those seeking balance here are two videos.....
