Yesterday Treasurer Eric Abetz admitted to a parliament that there is no economic modelling to show how much revenue the proposed Macquarie Point stadium will bring into the state coffers! #AFLStadium #Taspol

Tas Treasurer Eric Abetz says the AFL Stadium will bring untold economic benefits - but guess what? There is NO ECONOMIC MODELLING!!! #taspol

If only the Libs had held the transparency high ground, we’d have been able to judge this week’s appointment of former SA Labor premier Jay Weatherill to UK High Commissioner by reference to standards laid out in the Briggs ‘Job for Mates’ review. #auspol
Jobs4mates. Wong restores duopoly control over Senate, appoints mate. - Michael West
Two weeks ago, Coalition senators supported David Pocock’s motion to extend question time by half an hour, but it's now back to normal.

I put up a motion in the last parliament to get this organisation listed as terrorist organisations under the Criminal Code - Federal Labor didn't support it and neither did the Coalition! #auspol #nationalsecurity

The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

It’s not just a stadium. It’s a debt bomb for all of Australia.
If Tasmania defaults, every state pays. Your taxes. Your interest rates.

Tomago Aluminium is facing closure over energy cost. Interest rates will be kept high because of energy costs. Yet @albomp.bsky.social won’t implement a gas reservation policy to lower those costs. He cares more about keeping Japan’s industry alive and South Korea’s energy costs low. #auspol

Oh dear! "Abetz used his first speech to the Tasmanian parliament last year to argue the current generation should not leave debts for future generations “because we are too selfish to tighten our belts”. #auspol #AFLStadium

It’s not about submarine secrets, nor police tactics, nor intelligence operations. It’s about climate change and energy policy. These are important topics which the public have a right to understand and discuss.

Why the secrecy? #auspol

I might be down - with my back but I'm not out! Today, Senator David Pocock moved my motion for an inquiry to investigate Airport security fees. 🙏🙏🙏 Basically an Aussie going through security at Syd or Melb, is charged about 75c but if its a regional airport that could be $45!!! #auspol #Aviation

Premier Rockliff has already said he is pushing ahead with the AFL blackmail stadium - Jeremy doesn't like experts! He didn't listen to Saul Eslake, he didn't listen to Dr Nicholas Gruen and he's not listening to the Tasmanian Planning Council. #politas #aflstadium
Hobart stadium shouldn't proceed, planning commission recommends
The proposed Macquarie Point AFL stadium in Hobart should not proceed, a long-awaited assessment from the Tasmanian Planning Commission recommends.

#FOI costs have doubled over the past decade, not because of more requests, but because the Govt’s culture of secrecy scares sole decision making. Every man, woman & dog in Govt is consulted just in case someone might object to disclosure.

I fought Scott Morrison on National Cabinet secrecy during the COVID pandemic. I won that fight because his secrecy declaration was inconsistent with the law. @albomp.bsky.social is smarter than Morrison - he’s trying to expand Cabinet secrecy by changing the law. #auspol

Scott Morrison treated transparency like it was some kind of communicable disease. Being a less transparent government than his would achieve the impossible. Yet that’s what @AlboMP is trying to do with his new #FOI amendment bill. Essential listening👇. #auspol

In 2008 High Court Justice Kirby referred to the greater openness and transparency that the FOI Act provided citizens as “revolutionary”. The Govt just tabled a Bill in the Parliament that is nothing short of an @albomp.bsky.social counter-revolution. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/foi-amendmen...

1) FOI oxymoron: Fearless advice that the author fears more than one person will see! 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

2) FOI charges quid quo pro: Happy to pay a fee provided I get a penalty payment for each access refusal decision I get overturned on appeal. 💰👏

The Tribunal hearing resumes today, although I’m not allowed in to hear/rebut the Govt’s arguments on why they think the Information Commissioner was wrong to grant access to documents about a history book on ADF operations in Timor 25 years ago. #FOI #CensoredHistory #auspol

Labor plans to make it harder to access government information
A new proposal would introduce a fee for Freedom of Information requests and tighten the rules around the release of documents related to government deliberations.

If our government cares about Palestinian children they will get on the phone to France, Canada and the UK and whip up support so that this resolution can pass the UN in September. When children are starving to death there is no time to waste, we need to act now! #auspol
