If Labor was serious about closing the gap between men and women’s salaries they would abolish superannuation all together as it not only favours men but high income earners.
Not only is Digital ID going to be a threat to your privacy, it seems like it’s going to be a dog’s breakfast when it comes to holding authorities to account as to who is responsible for your data.
Gotta love it – when asked if the Banking Code of Practice is legally enforceable the Australian Banking Code of Practice says it is, and says ASIC is responsible for enforcing it.
As the Australian Prudential Regulator responsible for deposit taking institutions you would think keeping branches open would be a major concern for them.
This is just more gaslighting by the TGA by trying to put words in my mouth. I never said 48% of people who received the vaccine went to hospital and nor does the WA Vaccine Injury Report say that. I said the rate of injury was 24 times higher in the COVID vaccine than other vaccines.
This just epitomises how out of touch our government is. Another $100 million being wasted on models and plans that will be thrown out at the first sign of trouble.
Bureaucrats are overpaid for jobs that produce nothing but unnecessary regulations.
In light of yesterday’s erroneous fact check on Facebook by an unaccountable foreign organisation, I have written to the Communications Minister requesting that social media censorship is stopped.

Earlier this week I spoke in the chamber about Pfizer shifting their profits offshore rather than pay tax here in Australia.
Why is Alan Joyce still getting a $10 million bonus in light of taking bookings for flights already cancelled and trying to cancel $500 million in flight credits as a result of cancelled bookings from Covid.
In the last sitting week I called out the claim that Aboriginals have lived uninterrupted in Australia for the last 60,000 years. There is no evidence for that claim whatsoever.
The Hawke Keating Government introduced many policies that destroyed Australia’s sovereignty. • In 1983 Hawke got the High Court to rule that Foreign Treaties should override the State governments •In 1985 Keating lifted all foreign capital controls allowing banks to
Here is another broken promise or lack of transparency. In an earlier set of estimates, I asked the acting environment minister, Senator McAllister, just how many kilometres of transmission lines we need to reach 82 per cent of renewables by 2030.
The so called National Reconstruction Fund bill is nothing but a slush fund for renewables with a misleading name. Coal and gas projects, which are locally produced have been excluded from the fund. On the other hand foreign owned or built renewables can apply for assistance.
That is why this inquiry is so important. We need to shine a light on the dealings of the bureaucrats. Let’s face it, it’s the bureaucrats who run—I’ve often said this. It’s the bureaucrats who are a shadow government in this country. It’s not us.
Women should not be bullied for standing up for their right to their own spaces on the sporting field or changerooms.

A few weeks back I questioned the CBA on the rise of the foreign bank lending to our agricultural sector and how closing branches in the regions is making it harder for locals to use Australian banks.
Recently the head of the Australian Banking Association Anna Bligh appeared before the RRAT committee in regards to branch closures.
She was unable to answer how much income banks collect in electronic transaction fees. No doubt because it would be embarrassing to admit that shutting down branches actually increases profits for the banks.
Whether you give 5 minutes notice or 5 years notice, Banks have an obligation under their social licence to keep branches open in the regions.
The arrogance of the entrenched establishment is highlighted by this bill that seeks to silence individuals but protect governments, bureaucrats, media and universities. Democracy is meant to protect individuals from the government. How is that meant to happen if our voices are silenced? It is Individuals who have the right to decide what is misinformation, not the government.
In estimates I asked the Australian Federal Police how to press charges against bureaucrats for reckless and negligent behaviour. Unfortunately they weren’t interested in holding them to account.
I asked at the last set of estimates for the correspondence between the RBA and the Bank for International Settlements. The RBA refused to do that. Can you tell me why,
I asked the RBA whether or not the Bank of England sought their permission before they melted down Australia’s gold holdings and refined them from 2015 onwards. Needless to say the RBA were clueless or deliberately hiding the truth. At
