Hearing adjourned for the day, back next week. Under tense cross-examination (and after failing to answer the question twice) a DCCEEW official confirmed that Tanya Plibersek is yet to be given a decision brief - a year after an āurgentā intervention process started š¤·āāļø #auspol
Why has Chris Minns wrapped a secrecy blanket over Budget Estimates briefings, when these briefs are readily available under #FOI in the Federal domain? Itās secrecy imposed solely for political self-interest. NSW citizens have a right to know. Iām taking up the fight. #nswpol
Bill Shorten is smiling as he leaves Parliament for a $1.1M VC salary; and good luck to him. No disrespect, but he has little experience in running a large business like a Uni, or experience in the academic world. So whatās Canberra Uni paying for? #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0ā¦
I canāt help but wonder what the man on the left would think about what the man on the right said last night. #whistleblower #auspol Richard D Boyle
There are only 140 Maugean Skates left in the world. Time is not on their side. Despite this, something very fishy is going on as Tanya Plibersek avoids dealing with their now almost certain extinction. #PoliticalCowardice #auspol michaelwest.com.au/saving-tasmaniā¦
.Jim Chalmers MP is keeping open the option of more spending to stimulate our economy prior to the election. Will Labor roll out the pork barrel? Laborās lack of uptake of Helen Haines MPās āEnd Pork Barrelling Bill 2024ā suggests they will. #auspol
#Scandal: Jim Chalmers MP has been forced to release docs under #FOI that he previously refused to release to the Senate. He used a false āpublic interestā claim to hide lobbying by big business wanting to change public policy. #secrecy #improper #auspol michaelwest.com.au/busted-treasurā¦
Today the Royal Commission report on Defence and veteran suicide will be presented to govt. Long resisted by Defence top brass, this inquiry came from tireless community campaigning and great advocacy from Jacqui Lambie. A #peoplepower triumph. #auspol themandarin.com.au/254222-royal-cā¦
Should anyone be surprised? A big part of #AUKUS is about political announceables in Joe Biden's political twilight and Anthony Albanese's countdown to Australia's election. Political theatre rather than thoughtful national security policy once again. #auspol smh.com.au/politics/federā¦
Labor says Peter Dutton's nuclear reactor plan will cost $600B, take decades to deliver and produce little power. Yet Anthony Albanese is splurging $368B on just 8 #AUKUS nuclear subs that are decades away and will weigh little in the strategic balance. š¤·āāļø #auspol
Itād be further tragedy if the Veteran suicide royal commission recommendations bog down in Defence/DVA bureaucracy. No more foot dragging from the top brass. Anthony Albanese must commit to full implementation before Parliament rises at end of November. #auspol 9news.com.au/national/veterā¦
