I can't help but think that this whole Anika Wells "travel rorts" outrage, which is almost laughable coming from the super-rorting coalition, is just a distraction from Barnaby's latest alcohol-induced stunt, defecting to One Nation.

I would pay for any accommodation the day the conference ended . I would often have a weeks holiday at the end to see family .

I guess I could have come back to Perth and done 2 trips .

Am over the smash the duopoly mob and the worried white well . Labor and Liberal are nothing at all alike . Teals want a 15% GST and Chaney supports the live sheep trade .

Would love to see a few spend 6 months on a remote community or do a few night shifts in a Tasmanian ER . They have no idea

LNP hold $10,000 a head fund raisers . Teals and Pocock get over 1.5 million in donations from billionaires. A sea of white privilege
Meanwhile state Labor MPs start fund raising yrs before elections with raffles , quiz nights and $150 a head dinners . Sam Lim fundraisers are the best !

Some names and faces just keep reappearing whenever corruption in the federal public service is mentioned. No real surprise just further disappointment that she hasn't gone to jail. #auspol

ZERO cervical cancer cases diagnosed in Aussie women under 25 in 2021... the first time since national records began in 1982

Any politician who wants to support a 15% GST wouldn’t know poverty if it hit them in the face !!

Home Affairs Sec Stephanie Foster insists refugees in Nauru detention are “not being held”
But turns out they are still surrounded by wired prison fencing & they can’t say whether they are being monitored by a guard.
Sounds like they are being Held to me. #Estimates

Just in! Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation appeal has been DISMISSED by the Full Federal Court!

He was also ordered to pay costs

Reminder! Judgment in Bruce Lehrmann’s defamation appeal will be delivered tomorrow!

Stream via the Fed CourtYouTube from 10.15

Lisa Wilkinson has also challenged parts of the original judgment, the outcome of which is far less predictable than the outcome of Bruce’s appeal…

Just guessing, there won't be any answers and zero accountability. If Mark Dreyfus had set out to design a #NACC that was deliberately evasive, opaque, mysterious, and ineffectual, with an ever-present whiff of imminent scandal, he could only have come up the one we actually got. #NACCfolly
There is $1 million budgeted for the legal assistance needed for NACC to properly reconsider the Robodebt referrals - this funding ends in February 2026 and I hope for all of us that means there will be answers and accountability at this time (6+ years after Robodebt ended).

NACC CEO Philip Reed says they are not looking to extend Geoffrey Nettle KC’s appointment for his work on the Robodebt case beyond Feb ‘26 but refuses to agree “the Robodebt investigation will actually end 6yrs after the totally abusive corrupt scheme concluded…”🤨🚩 #Estimates

As part of #16DaysOfActivism it’s my job as a man to remind all men that male violence against women is a men’s issue

To say it’s a women’s issue is to blame women for our violence as men

We collectively are the root cause and the root solution to ending it.

Let’s get to work

Yeah Nah .
The Teals support a 15% GST and Chaney supports the live sheep trade . They are old Liberals with a conscience on climate change . Iffy on IR Ryan is the best of them
They are very good at throwing stones and telling us what’s wrong .
Just don’t touch super , trust funds and neg gearing

We are meant to believe the NACC is still trying to establish if somebody should be held to account on #Robodebt.
They are now preparing for their Xmas time-off while victims and their families have to see off yet another year without justice. I’ll be thinking of them this Xmas.
It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening.
I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

It turns out the private companies contracted to improve the $92 million BOM website were Accenture and Deloitte. I hope this proves once and for all that private companies are ALWAYS more expensive than the government. What a total rip-off. 👎
