Clare O'Neil 2025

Natalie Barr:

A police officer in rural Victoria remains on sorry, a police killer remains on the run this morning after he shot and killed 2 officers in rural Victoria and caused severe injuries shooting a third.

Let’s bring in Housing Minister Clare O’Neil and Shadow Foreign Minister, Michaelia Cash. Good morning to both of you.

The Albanese Labor Government’s social and affordable housing program is building momentum. New data just in from Housing Australia and the states and territories shows more than 5,000 social and affordable homes have now been completed with Federal Government investment since the Albanese Government was elected.

By leave – I begin by acknowledging the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of this land on which we meet, and I pay my respects to Ngunnawal Elders past, present and emerging.

Mr Speaker, Australia is in the middle of a housing crisis 40 years in the making.

The Albanese Labor Government is taking decisive action to cut through the red tape and delays in approvals that are holding up the construction of more homes.

This is all about speeding up approvals to build more homes more quickly.

Sarah Abo:

‘A weak politician who betrayed Israel and abandoned Australia’s Jews’. Those are the scathing words Benjamin Netanyahu has used to describe Anthony Albanese following Australia’s pledging to recognise Palestine.

Sally Sara:

Good morning, everyone

Thank you to Homelessness Australia and Homelessness Queensland for the invitation to be part of such an important forum. It really is a pleasure to be here with you today – albeit virtually from Canberra.
