Remember the time when people thought this guy was a genius? #auspol

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 ‘urgent’ intervention process started 🤷‍♂️ #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? It’s secrecy imposed solely for political self-interest. NSW citizens have a right to know. I’m 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 what’s Canberra Uni paying for? #auspol abc.net.au/news/2024-09-0…

As we prepare for the release of the Veterans Royal Commission, the work of veterans and their families who made this happen won't be forgotten. We must then make a change. That will be the legacy.

I can’t 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-tasmani…

.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? Labor’s lack of uptake of Helen Haines MP’s ‘End Pork Barrelling Bill 2024’ 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 “public interest” claim to hide lobbying by big business wanting to change public policy. #secrecy #improper #auspol michaelwest.com.au/busted-treasur…

The Coalition couldn’t build car parks. Labor can’t build homes. Our old political parties are too often all talk, big promises, large expenditure, little delivery. #auspol

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-c…

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/feder…

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. 🤷‍♂️ #auspol

It’d 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/veter…
