This government is doing everything it can to stop any FOI requests, particularly into it's very own version of robodebt, and the unlawful punishment of the unemployed. They are no different from the LNP, in fact they have become the LNP by adoption of all the LNPs failed and unlawful policies.

Yep, just like the LNP, Labor like to commit their unlawful acts in private without the public knowing what they are doing. Just have a look at what they are doing to the unemployed and those receiving social security payments. Why do Labor hate the poor so much? They are no different to the LNP now

One of the messages of Rick Morton's 'Mean Streak' was the need to hold senior public servants to account. The response of the current government has been to make it easier for them to hide.

If you don't want your decision-making made public, don't accept a public service job.

The transparency Albo used at election time is complete BS. We all knew that when NACCs first case was investigating it's own Commissioner.

Fascism and conspiracies prosper when governments become secretive and particularly when they reduce transparency and accountability. Our political duopoly are promoting and even encouraging this social disruption and degradation of our democracy.

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record.

Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has backed their new bill.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation
