Sky News host Andrew Bolt says aboriginal people have “gained a lot of things” living in western culture as it offers a “much better” lifestyle.

‘Real pressure’ on the RBA to ‘go hard on interest rates’Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says the reality is, with annual inflation higher than expected, there’s a “real pressure” on the Reserve Bank to “go hard on interest rates”.
