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
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…
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…
