2026-01-0401 minAustralia News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!Greens' Bold Move Pays Off in ACT PoliticsThe Greens, led by Shane Rattenbury, made a strategic move after the 2024 Australian Capital Territory election, choosing to stay outside executive power. This decision has proven beneficial, allowing them to act as a governing partner, opposition, and left-wing conscience. Theyve been more dynamic than the Liberal opposition and have stayed relevant despite a slim electoral base. Looking ahead, they plan to lead with creative ideas to push for real change, as they face a tough budget repair battle in 2025. Their ambitions will be tested in 2026 as they strive to turn bold talk into results that sway Canberrans.The Daily...

He highlights small cuts like scrapping rent relief and charging volunteers for background checks, which hurt the vulnerable without addressing core problems. Rattenbury urges lawmakers to own budget repairs, as the territory faces potential one billion dollars a year in interest payments by 2025.

Since the cheapest Jaguar currently starts at around $60,000, and you can pay over $300,000 for a top-of-the-range model, this might not seem like headline news. Barring an unlikely lottery win, most of us are never going to buy a brand-new Jag no matter what fuel it runs on.
