    The Turnbull Govt has given up on its attempt to pass its $65 billion Co. tax cut this week. They don't have the support of the majority of Australians and they don't have the majority of the Senate. There's still a fight ahead, but great work by the team

    Hanson has again sided with Turnbull, the Libs & big multinationals against the interests of Australian battlers. If passed, the $65b big biz tax cut will come at the expense of hospitals, schools and the pensioner energy supplement. Hanson's just another out-of-touch Lib
