Liberals in sudden backdown from right-wing conference

Video will begin in 5 seconds.

Citing the need for tolerance, the Social Services Minister has pulled out of the World Congress of Families conference, disappointing organisers.

Senior Liberals from the Abbott and Napthine governments have made a sudden withdrawal from a controversial right-wing conference due to be held this weekend.

Federal Social Services Minister Kevin Andrews and Victorian Attorney-General Robert Clark will no longer attend the World Congress of Families because the new venue is Catch the Fire Ministries in Hallam.

The pair were due to give opening speeches and had claimed their attendance was part of their ministerial duties.

There has been public pressure over the pair's attendence. In July The Age revealed prominent Liberals would be attending the forum which included a promoter of Russia's "crusade" against homosexuality and a doctor who spruiks a theory that abortions cause breast cancer.

Catch the Firepresident Danny Nalliah, and his political branch the Rise Up Australia Party, have courted controversy. Mr Nalliah infamously blamed the Black Saturday bushfires on Victoria's abortion laws. He is also a critic of Islam.

In statements, both Mr Clark and Mr Andrews criticised opponents of the conference asintolerant, and that people had the right to free speech.

East v West row grows over grain

EXCLUSIVE Andrew Probyn and Andrew Tillett Canberra The West Australian September 1, 2014, 5:33 am

A new political row is brewing over wheat exports, with WA Liberals fearing full deregulation of the industry will be nobbled by their East Coast colleagues.

Cabinet ministers are at odds as the Abbott Government scrambles come up with solution with a two-year agreement governing port access for bulk wheat exports to expire on September 30.

WA Liberals, led by Senator Dean Smith, want the Government to put the industry on the path of full deregulation.

East Coast farmers and grain growers, supported by East Coast coalition MPs, want to retain regulation of port access so operators cannot slug farmers with hefty export fees.

Agriculture Minister Barnaby Joyce and Small Business Minister Bruce Billson are believed to be proposing different solutions to the stand off as they try to get a mandatory code of conduct in place.

The wheat issue caused deep divisions in the coalition in 2012, with many WA Liberals defying the party room to speak out in support of the Labor Governments bid to abolish the Wheat Export Authority and a 22c a tonne export levy.

At the time Julie Bishop told WA Liberals to back off, saying an argument could damage Tony Abbotts leadership.

Senator Smith yesterday was confident WA rural and regional Liberals were unanimous in supporting full deregulation of wheat exports.

"The full deregulation of Australias wheat export arrangements is perfectly aligned to the Governments deregulation and red tape reduction agenda," he said.

Liberals to table budget June 4

CTV Montreal Published Monday, May 26, 2014 6:29PM EDT Last Updated Tuesday, May 27, 2014 7:18AM EDT

With less than a month to pass a few major bills before the summer break, the Liberal government announced Monday the date of its most anticipated bill.

The budget will be tabled in just over a week, on June 4.

The PQ opposition said the Liberals are making government finances sound worse than they are, but Premier Philippe Couillard said his first budget will be reasonable.

We've always said that it will be a mixture of appropriate and sound management of public finances and some measures that will also launch employment, he said.

If the government chooses to make steep cuts, it will be supported by former Liberal finance minister Raymond Bachand. A report he signed states that health care costs, especially, are exploding.

The CAQ meanwhile is worried the Liberals won't stick to their pledge to lower Hydro-Quebec rates.

He's looking like a guy who would like to do exactly as Mrs. Marois, which is to change his mind, said CAQ leader Franois Legault.
