‘Weaker readings’: Service and manufacturing sectors slow in US and European marketsCommSec’s Tom Piotrowski says US and European markets saw “weaker readings” on activity in the services and manufacturing sectors. “In the case of the US, that sort of went cheek by jar with the upgraded forecast that we saw for unemployment and growth in the US,” Mr Piotrowski told Sky News Australia. “The problem is that is suggestive of higher interest rates at a time when we’re seeing moderating rates of activity. “And that was not welcome on the part of the markets. “We did see a little bit of a moderation where interest rates were concerned, but still in weekly terms both long and short term interest rates in the US for example are up by a pretty meaningful margin.” Presented by CommSec.

Peta Credlin slams ‘lazy journalists’ trying to discredit $40 billion Indigenous spending claimSky News host Peta Credlin has slammed “lies and misinformation” pushed by “lazy journalists” who are trying to discredit her claim that nearly $40 billion is spent on Indigenous people every year. Ms Credlin came under fire from Crikey for defending singer Kamahl’s comments on The Project, where he claimed Australia spends about $40 billion every year on Indigenous people. She pointed to the Productivity Commission’s 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report, which states the total direct government expenditure on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians was estimated to be $33.4 billion in 2015-16. The Sky News host also highlighted specific Indigenous programmes run by state and federal government. “Indeed, the latest Productivity Commission report – this one’s a draft report issued in July this year, 2023 – also refers to 'tens of billions of dollars of expenditure every year’,” she said. “So enough with the lies, enough of the misinformation and disinformation from the Yes Camp and lazy journalists. “This is the federal government's own Productivity Commission – now don’t verbal me, don't try and pretend I don't know how to read a Commonwealth report or a budget paper. “It's patronising beyond belief, and you'll get caught out.”

Kamahl was ‘spot on’ with $40 billion Indigenous spending claimSky News host Peta Credlin says Kamahl was “spot on” during his interview with The Project, where the musician claimed Australia spends about $40 billion every year on Indigenous people. Ms Credlin points to the Productivity Commission’s 2017 Indigenous Expenditure Report, which states the total direct government expenditure on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians was estimated to be $33.4 billion in 2015-16. “Then there's all the specific Indigenous programmes run by state and federal governments, such as the $4.5 billion a year spent by the National Indigenous Australians Agency,” she said. “Adjusting the 2016 figure in the Productivity Commission's report for inflation, well, that gives us a figure of $39.5 billion in Aboriginal spending today.” Ms Credlin warned against “misleading” and “deceptive” commentary surrounding the Voice to Parliament debate.
