Nationals MP Keith Pitt discusses the Albanese government’s first budget surplus in 15 years which is set to be released on Tuesday night.

Who designed Snowy 2.0 because it wasn't politicians ?

Albo has guaranteed a surplus by investing 565 million dollars in the Port Headland expansion, as well as the three LNG projects, so WA and theNT are just fine, the rest of you should buy candles, 😂😅😊
