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).

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

The NACC has AGAIN been forced to correct its evidence about how many times the Commissioner has consulted for Defence.
This is ridiculous.

Raising the Morning Star flag outside the Australian Parliament House today in solidarity with West Papuans.
Each year, we commemorate the first raising of the flag on December 1. I am proud to commit to peace and justice everywhere, and upholding the fundamental rights of First Peoples globally.

So glad to be with a bunch of protesters in Newcastle who did more for the climate in one weekend than the Australian Labor Party has done in 3 years

NSW Police proudly wasting millions on this next-to-useless police vessel “Nemesis” which has been cruising Newcastle Harbour trying to intimidate climate protestors this weekend.
Your tax dollars being flushed. Ohhh and Labor wants to buy a new one for a cool $46.5 million.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

The NACC AGAIN apologises to Parliament for incorrect information provided about the actions of Commissioner Major General Brereton. For the NACC to have any chance of doing its job properly he has to go.

Have we reached peak dysfunction?! The NACC handed $1.1M to MA Services - the firm running a Nauru security operation linked with the Finks bikie gang. They're also guarding the ACIC who are literally tasked with taking down bikie gangs🤯

Facebook is a scam factory. Meta's own internal audit reveals 10% of their revenue comes from spam advertising - $16bn annually. Between 2020-2023 scam losses in Australia increased 249%. In 76% of cases, contact occurred on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp).

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.
It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

Yesterday saw a fresh escalation in Israel’s illegal assassinations with a missile attack on Beirut. It follows a drone attack on a Palestinian refugee camp and Israel’s continued illegal bombing and occupation of Southern Lebanon.

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

AGAIN we find out that Commissioner Major General Brereton had been involved in undisclosed conflicts of interest. What’s it going to take for the Albanese Government to finally realise his position is untenable??

The fools who sold us $375 billion AUKUS nuclear submarines are now telling us they will cost more, a lot more. Their war plans with China, their surrender to Trump and their back of-the-envelope costings are all super dangerous. Don’t trust them.
