The fact Wong thinks she can just snark her way out of this is a sign of how normalised the relationships between politicians and lobbyists have become.

Like, of course the PM shouldn't be president of a registered lobby group that sells corporate members access to politicians? No shit??

Crikey @crikey.com.au · 17h

Independent Senator David Pocock and Labor's Penny Wong clashed in Senate estimates yesterday over whether the Parliamentary Sports Club could be considered a lobby group, as reported in Crikey last week. The club is registered as such, and lists Responsible Wagering Australia as one of its clients.

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.

Oh my fucking godfather. This is shameful. If any of us did this at work, we'd be disciplined - as a minimum.

After asking Dept of Climate Change & Energy on cost of the 2035 target, Sarah Henderson doesn’t want to hear the answer & desperately tries to stop Kath Rowley from embarrassing her on the cost of ‘not’ having a target

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

When I rang Shoebridge's office the staffer told me many boomers are phoning stating our fathers or grand fathers were in Palestine in WW1 or WW11, my grandpa was there for 3 years and witnessed the jewish terrorists in action.
