Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the government's policies are working, all while the Labor Party "continues to play pandemic politics".
Prime Minister Morrison took aim at Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese and the Labor Party during a fiery Question Time on Thursday.
Mr Morrison said the government's JobKeeper program has been the lifesaver for Australians across the course of the coronavirus pandemic.
"The Opposition, when it comes to JobKeeper, they've had a bet each-way, the whole way, as they do on everything".
The prime minister also said Mr Albanese "always gets very anxious when I talk about his each-way bets".
The prime minister has been accused of victim-blaming and senior ministers are also under fire for their handling of an alleged sexual assault in Parliament House.
‘No-way Albo’: Anthony Albanese is ‘no way’ on all reliable energy sources18/02/2021|6min
Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese has gone from “each-way Albo (to) become no way Albo” as he flat out rejects coal, oil, gas and definitely nuclear power, says Resources Minister Keith Pitt.
It comes as five Nationals Senators including former ministers Bridget McKenzie and Matt Canavan will move an amendment to legislation which will allow the Clean Energy Finance Corporation to invest in nuclear generators.
Nuclear power is banned in Australia after the Howard government introduced a moratorium on the baseload energy source in 1998.
Mr Pitt said the Coalition government has a “watching brief” on small modular nuclear reactors via its technology roadmap, but any move to upheave the moratorium will require support from the opposition.
