LIVEThe Greens will stage a rave dance party fundraiser with requests for donations of up to $1000 on Anzac Day, in a move slammed as “one of the worst judgments” seen in modern Australian politics. Maverick MP Bob Katter hailed the death of the “primitive” two-party system as polls indicate most voters now expect a hung parliament and minority government.

The Opposition leader has urged the PM to put the Greens last, as one of its MPs already has, as he face questions over his plans to cut the public service. It comes as Mr Dutton said his first thoughts were for his family after he was revealed to be the alleged target of a 16-year-old’s terror bomb plot. Anthony Albanese has thrown his support behind Mr Dutton in the wake of a teenage private school student’s alleged terrorist plot.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton said Greens leader Adam Bandt is “telling the truth” when he insists Labor is prepared to do a deal to form minority government – as a media event was hijacked by a 12-year-old boy named Sammy. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has denied attacks linking his opponents to DOGE-style cuts will hurt US relations – and rejected an overture from China to “join hands” against Donald Trump’s tariffs.

Anthony Albanese, who has been hit by another protester, has refused to rule out an Australian recession but says his government has done the ‘hard work’ to deal with it. His comments come as Peter Dutton says Australia’s interest rates and cost of living hikes have been more marked than other nations because of Labor’s failures. The warning comes as both he and Mr Albanese will be out to prove who is better to run the economy at the first leaders debate tonight.
