What happens when every Fed department is responsible for AI data centres but none of them actually is? At Estimates we found out: foreign multinationals make commercial decisions, states rip up their planning laws, and the water and energy consequences are someone else's problem

Here’s a plan to fully fund the NDIS, cancel AUKUS! That will free up $100 billion over the next decade to give people with disability the support they need.

Hateful media and political rhetoric drives trans people out of public life and undermines rights as fundamental as work, education, and living as your authentic self. We will always call it out. 🏳️⚧️
Workers in onshore detention tried to save a person from a burning room and got injured doing so. MTC, the Trump-linked US company running the centres, did not provide enough staff or training. When I criticised them, the Government jumped in to defend this company.
Many people asked how it was that the Government decided to grant ECAJ $124 million more in funding this budget. Turns out that’s the number ECAJ asked for. Don’t know any other area in Government where this is how it works!
Trump has just told Albanese that he is not giving Australia any new submarines under AUKUS. I asked Defence how this can still be the 'optimal pathway'. The response is... interesting.
This whole LOTE project for the Collins Class was based on the idea we would get French submarines, something that disappeared in 2021 when Morrison chose AUKUS. That means Defence bought a whole bunch of stuff, based on a now scrapped idea. Here are the figures.
The NT government gets 80% of its budget from the Commonwealth. Some of that money goes on spit hoods for kids. On Friday, every child in detention was locked in their cell all day because there weren't enough staff. This is where your federal dollars go.
BREAKING Its not just the US and UAE, Australia also providing 'defensive' military support to Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Qatar. The Albanese Labor Government cannot pretend we are not involved Trump and Netanyahu's war of choice when we up to our neck in it.
Spending billion more on AUKUS, silence on genocide in Palestine, Palantir contracts and spying on Australians - we have many questions! This week we will demand answers in Senate Estimates again and I'm not holding back.
Tonight Commissioner Brereton acknowledged that he was "sorry for the delay his involvement caused in the Robodebt referral", while dismissing broader harm to victims. Families who lost loved ones to Robodebt deserved a genuine reckoning from the nation's integrity commission. They didn't get one.

Thank you to the incredible witnesses who gave brave and powerful testimony at my hearing on Trump’s attacks on TPS. Together, we will continue to stand up to Trump’s mass deportation agenda and fight for an immigration system that actually works.
Trump still thinks the gold at Fort Knox isn’t real. With a war in Iran and rising gas and grocery prices, this doesn't seem like where the president's attention should be.
That's right Luna. You get mad at that chipmunk for existing, that'll show 'em. #caturday
Autocrats believe due process is itself a sham. That is why they assume and expect sham trials. The J6 myth depends on pretending these were sham prosecutions. But as McFarlane notes, not one case was overturned. None. And DOJ had a 100% jury conviction rate at trial.

Richtig. Es ist meine Meinung, dass #Merz wohl ein Narzisst mit wenig logischem Verständnis ist, stattdessen ein sehr berechenbarer Rechtsanwalt. Merkt man immer wieder. Gleiches Muster. Und sich selbst nur abfällig gegenüber anderen Menschen äußern. Ganz großes Kino. #Diskriminierung sehe ich da.
