Former Labor minister Graham Richardson says the Yes campaign for a Voice to Parliament is “lagging” and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hasn’t “dug into it”. “He’s put it up, and so if there’s any damage to come from defeat, it goes to him,” Mr Richardson told Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell. “And so, you’d think he’d be out there, flogging it to death, but he hardly seems to be giving it any more coverage in his own life than all the other issues he’s dealing with.” Australians will head to the ballot box on Saturday, October 14, to vote in the Voice referendum. Recent polling has revealed the No vote grew in the last month, suggesting that the Voice could be heading for defeat come referendum day.

Ms Kelly remarked that Donald Trump openly talks about his criminal indictments and will accept interviews from various media outlets, which she gave him “immense credit” for. This observation was contrasted with Joe Biden’s consistent refusal to participate in interviews or answer difficult questions from reporters. “The press lets him get away with this complete camouflage routine where you never get to see the real him – because nobody ever puts tough questions to him.”

‘No way back’: Prince Harry ‘blanked’ out of Prince William’s mindRoyal expert Jennie Bond says Prince William has 'blanked' Prince Harry out of his mind after not sending any public birthday wishes to him on Friday.

Ms Bond also said the Prince and Duke are 'very much done' with each other.

‘It is a stunt’: Keith Pitt accuses Labor’s nuclear transition modelling a ‘political attack’Nationals MP Keith Pitt has accused Labor’s modelling of Australia’s cost to transition to nuclear energy as a “political attack” on the Coalition. The Energy and Climate Change Department released modelling earlier this morning, indicating that converting ageing coal-fired power sites to nuclear would cost $387 billion or up to $25,000 per taxpayer. “This is the team that brought you the modelling that said your power price was going down by $275,” Mr Pitt told Sky News Australia. “I think it is a stunt; Chris Bowen and the Labor Party have built their house of cards on the GenCost report as it’s based. “I think it’s a complete nonsense, it’s a political attack and that’s all they’ve got. “This is entirely being built as a house of cards for Chris Bowen; I think the people of Australia can see through this for what it is.”
