Sky News host Jaimee Rogers criticises the Albanese government for repeatedly announcing major policies before working through the consequences, arguing Australians are paying the price for policy-on-the-run. “Australia has become a country governed by trial and error. Policies are announced first. Questions get answered later,” Ms Rogers said. “After weeks of insisting the policy was right, the government is doing backflips this week. It was around the widow’s tax where negative gearing wouldn't be grandfathered if a couple divorced or a partner died. “What happens to the family whose circumstances change before the government gets around to fixing this policy? Governments aren't supposed to announce legislation and then work out the details afterwards. They're supposed to do the hard work first. “Australians deserve better than governing by correction. This is why people are walking away from the major parties.”
