Treasurer Jim Chalmers will unveil Australia's seventh Intergenerational Report on Monday, offering a portrait of the nation in 2066, 40 years from now. assertive

🔮 Its embedded metadata named Albanese’s deputy communications director as creator and last editor, although metadata alone cannot conclusively establish authorship. Who knew about the dirt sheet, and contributed to writing it, could go much wider than one senior political staffer. assertive
🔮 Australians would settle for an aged care system that looks after the elderly and an energy project that bears some passing resemblance to its original price tag. assertive
🔮 Chalmers can use the excuse of 'international pressures' until he's blue in the face, but Australians facing yet another increase in their mortgage repayments are entitled to ask what he will do to fix the situation. assertive
