| Ken Henry, the chairman of NAB, gave a speech today at Sydney University on Australia’s infrastructure problem. | |
| He made a fascinating/depressing point about our growing population. | |
| He said the population is projected to grow by another 16 million people over the next 40 years, but among NAB’s customers (according to its research) there is not wholesale support for a larger Australia. | |
| For many, the prospect of a higher Australian population means more stress in the ability to buy a house, to live where you want to live, to get to work with a reasonable commute time. | |
| And many in the community are also concerned about our ability, as a nation, to maintain norms of Australian social and economic inclusion, and to continue to provide access to high quality services in areas such as healthcare and education. | |
| These concerns are playing out against a backdrop of rapid technological advancement that is seeing the digitalisation and automation of many aspects of our lives, including in the workplace – and with it growing concerns about job security. | |
| But what about the business perspective? | |
| The same NAB research … showed that most of our business customers would strongly prefer a larger population which supports better business growth,” he said. | |
| It is time for business and the community to stop talking past one another. | |

| Joyce on Abbott's Muslim comments: It’s like saying there is a link between testicles and terrorism | |
| Barnaby Joyce has rejected Tony Abbott’s suggestion of a link between terrorism and Islam. He tells David Speers at Sky – and he has said it before – that there is a small number of extremists in all groups. Joyce said it would be like painting all men as terrorists because a small number commit terrorist acts. | |
| It’s like saying they are all blokes. | |
| It’s like saying there is a link between testicles and terrorism. | |
| Good people in all communities provide information so we can keep Australia safe. With a few exceptions that’s working well for us and let’s keep that program going. | |
| On Abbott’s other views around Islam, Joyce says Abbott had the right as a backbencher to have those discussions. | |

| Tanya Plibersek to Malcolm Turnbull: How is the fair that under the prime minister’s $22 million schools cut, students at Our Lady in Adelaide will lose half their funding.

| Shorten to Turnbull: Is the prime minister aware that under his government, real wages for high paid executives are growing, and they get a tax cut. And the real wages for people on modest incomes are going backwards but they get a tax increase.

| I ask the leader of the opposition this, how do you look to thousands of Australians on middle incomes and say to them in good faith, everything Labor policy does, will discourage you from getting ahead? Every single measure is an attack on middle Australia and their aspirations for a better life. | I ask the leader of the opposition this, how do you look to thousands of Australians on middle incomes and say to them in good faith, everything Labor policy does, will discourage you from getting ahead?
