The Govt can and should appoint an independent person to the NACC to investigate Robodebt. After constraining the NACC’s ability to hold public hearings, it’s disappointing to see the lack of action to rebuild trust following the decision not to investigate the Robotdebt saga.

After constraining the NACC’s ability to hold public hearings, it’s disappointing to see the lack of action to rebuild trust following the decision not to investigate the Robotdebt saga.

Research from the Centre for Future Work shows that sacking public servants actually costs the country a fortune, as public jobs are replaced by consultants, contractors and labour hire workers. “Promising to reduce the size of the public service is a cheap political stunt.”

Despite everyone agreeing @Richard_D_Boyle is a genuine whistleblower (including the @ato_gov_au), and that his actions were in the public interest, he’s being prosecuted. @MarkDreyfusKCMP has the power to stop this unjust persecution, but hasn’t. #auspol canberratimes.com.au/story/8716881/…

I don’t think Commissioner Catherine Holmes would be happy that her Robodebt referrals have been snubbed. Holmes did her job, was ruthless in exposing the truth & calling out deceitful witnesses. But the AFP & NACC did not do their job & let the crooks get away. #RobodebtRC

What a contrast. In Norway the Govt taxes oil companies, pays the billions into a sovereign wealth fund, and university degrees are free. In Australia we give away much energy wealth and our students pay more into Treasury than the mining giants 🤦‍♂️ #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

The right to protest in Australia is in peril. We need to to let our governments know how important it is, before they take away our ability to let them know. #ProtectProtest @RDNS_TAI #auspol

NEW REPORT: From voting rights to the eight-hour workday, the right to protest has been fundamental to our democracy. Our new report "Protest in Peril" shows evidence that the right to protest has steadily eroded in Australia over 20 years. Read here: hrlc.org.au/reports-news-c…

It is not anti-semitism to abhor Israel's slaughter of thousands of Gaza's civilians - families, women and children. It is not anti-semitism to criticise Israel's illegal and expanding "settlements" in the West Bank.

Jillian Segal was on the board of NAB while it ripped off customers and faced scandal after scandal. She has criticised calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and defended bombings of hospitals. Why does she have any sort of government role? crikey.com.au/2024/07/10/jil…

.@AlboMP’s decision to proceed with @ScoMo30’s #AUKUS fiasco won’t just haunt @AustralianLabor for years, its $368B price tag will impact our parents, us, our children and our grandchildren for decades. It’s also a deeply flawed Defence decision. #auspol theguardian.com/world/article/…

The SA Court of Appeal has unanimously dismissed @Richard_D_Boyle’s appeal - thereby declaring how broken our Federal whistleblower protection laws are. The reasons have been temporarily suppressed. @MarkDreyfusKCMP must drop this prosecution. #auspol

🇯🇵 has been telling us that 🇦🇺 gas is needed for its energy security. But a recent @ieefa_institute report found that they export more gas to other countries than total imports of 🇦🇺 gas. I'm concerned we're being misled. thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/economy/2…

Labor and the Coalition are asking politely for PwC and the Big 4 to suddenly grow a conscience and act ethically when they’re on the Govt payroll. Australians want to see real action starting with a ban on donations for anyone with a gov contract.

Without #transparency, the use of taxpayer funded ‘private’ jets by politicians is open to abuse. @AlboMP’s claim that detailing PAST flights is a security risk is farcical. I’m in the AAT trying to lift the secrecy blanket off these flights. 1/5 #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…
