Good morning. The Nationals are unhappy about reports the Labor government may cut major regional infrastructure plans announced in the Coalition’s last budget. The world of cinema has lost one of its most influential directors. And up to 100 Clarence House staff have been told they will lose their jobs when King Charles moves into Buckingham Palace.
The federal opposition has raised concerns about Labor’s “commitment to regional Australia”. Former Nationals ministers Barnaby Joyce and Bridget McKenzie are unhappy at reports the Labor government may cut funding for major Coalition infrastructure proposals. Joyce said the projects “were driven by people of the area, not designed by me”.
