Just when I thought nothing that consultants do could surprise me anymore, it appears that KPMG have been trying to inappropriately influence public servants and profit from taxpayer funds.

Three reports have now shown Peter Dutton’s record is littered with systems that he has wrecked and he has destroyed. If he can't run a government department, he can't run the country.

In a committee hearing this morning I paid tribute to Senator Linda White, who has tragically passed away. Senator White was a colleague, friend, and a fierce advocate for all the best principles of the Labor Party and of our democracy. I had the great privilege of serving with

Congratulations to Jodie Belyea on her victory in the Dunkley by-election and winning the honour of serving her local community in Federal Parliament. Jodie ran a strong and positive campaign and she’ll work hard every day as a champion for Dunkley in Canberra.
