Don't stress, Gina is on the job. As usual the Australian taxpayer will foot the bill for building all the necessary infrastructure and forgo any and all profits so the money can be fast tracked into Gina's coffers. There will be no profits to be taxed, Gina knows all the tax loopholes!
Mining rights for #rareEarth approved but how much does Australia make from them, and, is it an ongoing $benefit to Australian coffers?

Anyone know?
Get this right.
No more giving away our natural resources.

Why did NACC hide names of corrupt people? As was asked in parliamentary committee @davidshoebridge.bsky.social was it because one was chief of staff of the secretary of the Home Affairs department, Ms Wink Foster calling head of NACC Paul Brereton? Wots going on? www.facebook.com/share/p/1AGs...

Transparency is not accountability. Briggs: both major parties undermined trust in government by appointing mates to plum positions on boards. In her assessment, 6%-7% of appointments could be described as political, & up to 1/2 risk being seen as political. www.themandarin.com.au/304169-aps-m...

I’m sure this point has been made elsewhere but not only did they openly lie about how many recommendations were in the robodebt final report, the one they erased was to reform FOI and now they’re heading in the opposite direction. Surprise is not a feature of my reaction.
