I try not to look at what happens in Canberra through the political lens of left vs right, rather through the integrity lens of right vs wrong. #Jobs4Mates is wrong, no matter who is doing it. #auspol
@MrRexPatrick Didn't the Liberal's do the same ... Jobs for Mates with Alexander Downer and George Brandis?

Hi @AlboMP ..... you want to save a $ billions from healthcare? I just went to my heart specialist for my 2 yearly check up & they said ...have you got your referral? What a waste of time & money. If a specialist needs to see me why waste money to see a GP, $90. ???

Zero accountability and the senior bureaucrats grift on #auspol
If you’re getting paid twice the amount of the PM, I would expect you to be able to answer questions about money spent in your role.

Good to have the independents in Parliament fighting for what’s right #auspol
This is the biggest Labor caucus in history. Is it also the most afraid? Powerful analysis by @SteveCannane. https://t.co/4XeUIjfLU7 I fully support @WilkieMP‘s call for a conscience vote on gambling reform. The Xbench will keep pushing for the implementation of the Murphy

Dear @AlboMP & @AnikaWells check it out: Sportsbet false reporting of dividends paid, false reporting of related party transactions, false reporting of GST, inadequate disclosure of netting off gains and losses on betting activity #auspol

The accounts of Sportsbet are a hot mess. An independent analysis finds multiple breaches of accounting standards, ergo the laws of Australia.

🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru. During last Senate Estimates, I asked about links to organised crime and value for money, I was told there is no need for concern. Now whistleblower evidence paints a very different picture. https://t.co/dj4s8ToQoM

The former Home Affairs assistant secretary claims money was spent on overinflated contracts or for services that were never provided.

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: That people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe. Today I tabled a petition from @MadgwickKath and @JennyMi11374978 calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

Elected on integrity then …. #auspol
The independent Centre for Public Integrity handed down its report card into the Albanese Government this week. It doesn’t tell a happy story. #auspol 👉 https://t.co/sD8Mo1WmoY

We should be screaming about this. If you lose payments when you’re only accused of a crime that takes away your ability to stay housed and fed and even money for transport to show up at court.
SHAME. This is a flagrant breach of the rights to social security & due process. Sneaking through draconian powers in an unrelated bill is performative crap they can only get away with for welfare recipients because it's easy to punch down on us. Ty @AmyRemeikis for reporting.
