@davidshoebridge
Australian National Audit Office has done amazing work holding Defence to account for multi-billion dollar failures. In response the Albanese Government is cutting there work. So much for accountability and transparency.

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.

I asked the Attorney General's Department how they justify a direction delaying publishing an FOI until 1 minute before Senate Estimates
Many of you are asking where the Government is up to on a Human Rights Act. We asked the Attorney General's Department what 'actively considering' a Human Rights Act means. Not a lot as it turns out. A briefing a year ago 🙄
There are hundreds of Australian troops in the US military right now. I asked what their role in the war on Iran is. Defence said: "our people have a very clear understanding of that remit that limits a number of them to defensive roles only". How does that work when you are on a US sub?
The Albanese Labor Government has just given the Federal police $200 million, as part of the new 'AUKUS Command' force. Today we learnt this is solely to protect US and UK submarines. Australians paying for the protection of the US military, that's AUKUS.
The Larrakia Nation turned up today to the hearing into youth justice but the NT Government (who are the ones responsible for the harms kids are facing in the NT) has refused to come. I agree with Uncle Eric Fejo that it's an absolute disgrace.
Defence knew in October 2025 that the LOTE project on the Collins Class submarines was in crisis. When I ask back then if the $11 billion project was on track, they said there was "no change to the program of record". The LOTE program has now been massively de-scoped with a scathing audit.
A few months ago the Labor Government (backed in by Liberals and One Nation) got the power to stop Iranians, who already have a visa to Australian, from coming because they might seek safety here. We learnt 6,634 people have been impacted.
At Senate Estimates, the Federal Circuit and Family Court revealed courts are at the mercy of Canadian multinational VIQ that controls transcripts and is now refusing to cooperate with the Australian government. This is what privatising essential court functions looks like.
New details on the Australians that were on the US submarine that sunk the Iranian frigate. Defence is claiming they were not in their bunks as previously thought, but where "assigned to damage control activity."
AUKUS is such a rotten deal, that even buying second hand submarines still means the Australian public is paying top dollar.
ZELENSKYY: We have capability to act preventively with regard to de facto leadership of Belarus, which must clearly understand there will be consequences if aggressive actions against Ukraine are taken. We won't forget 2022, when offensive came from territory of Belarus as well.

What do you all think? Are slasher movies just another kind of monster movie? #svengoolie
Yes. Trains mostly reduce highway traffic. Most people live in cities. Local traffic is a bigger issue. Especially school commutes. This is a Texas school pickup line vs a bike bus on a protected cycling network.

Most industries are commoditized. Being “good” isn’t enough. The way out is a clear niche and a proprietary approach that only you offer. That’s what makes you stand out and win.
