Summary

Opposition leader Michaelia Cash is blasting the Labor government for asking MPs to use their taxpayer-funded communications allowances to promote unpopular tax changes, calling it a cynical attempt to sway public opinion. Housing Minister Clare O’Neil defended the move, saying it’s standard practice and that other parties likely do the same, sparking a broader debate over how political parties spend public funds to push their agendas.
