It appears the Prime Minister has an aversion to taking responsibility for his decisions (âJobSeeker rise an âall or nothingâ deal: Libsâ, February 24). Now it seems that âthe Australian peopleâ are to blame for the measly increase in JobSeeker. He is probably right if we are prepared to accept this and the draconian conditions imposed. To add insult to injury, we are also expected to grass up sneaky people trying to subsidise, unsurprisingly, the amount. Good luck to them with attending all those interviews and getting nowhere.
Emission impossible unless political climate changes

Most thinking people could not fail to be alarmed by John Hewsonâs article about Australiaâs emissions targetsâ catastrophe. Scott Morrison is captive to both his backbench and the fossil fuel lobby he will continue to do nothing to address the issue (âEmissions verdict is catastrophicâ, January 28). To make matters worse, although the government is very vulnerable on its lack of a climate change policy, Anthony Albanese is ineffective in highlighting this failing and its consequences. Perhaps the only thing that will force our recalcitrant politicians to act is the likelihood of a carbon border tax being introduced by the EU and the inevitability that the USA will follow suit.
