David Pocock asks Don Farrell some serious questions about why the govt has not implemented an important recommendation from the #RobodebtRC.
Farrell caught playing on his phone, not even paying attention.🙄 Pocock hasn’t the patience to try again & moves on. #Estimates

Connie’s Sandstorm is one of the most unusual and captivating roses—a rare garden treasure. With swirling petals in tan-brown tones brushed with mauve, it offers a desert-inspired palette unlike any other rose in our collection. Its rarity and distinctive coloring make it highly sought after.
