Good Morning,
Trust that you had a nice weekend a, spent some quality time with family & friends and a great Mother’s Day…
“Dear Malcolm,
Yesterday wasn’t all about you…. It was about our hard-working mothers, who give back so much to their families and the economy, itself…
Couldn’t you have just waited for this morning to announce a 2 July Election?
Why the urgency?
You already came out with a “lacklustre budget”, announced last week that questions superannuation contributions and Australia’s economic growth…
We now need you to stop “sitting on the fence” and start delivering….
We really don’t want to have our 7th Prime Minister in 7 years…
It’s becoming too much…
Thanks,
The Peak Team”
