This is how broken our lobbying laws are.
Every resources minister since 2001 went on to work for fossil fuel companies & 8 ex-ministers & senior advisers now lobby for gambling💰
It's time for complete reform of lobbying rules + independent watchdog.

Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn’t be allowed to vote
The repost on X from the US defence secretary illustrates his deep, personal connection to a Christian nationalist pastor with extreme views on the role of religion and women.

Both the United States and the United Kingdom are reviewing the AUKUS agreement.
In light of this, and the consequential nature of the agreement, it's vital that our Parliament do the same.
The crossbench will push to ensure scrutiny is applied. Australians expect nothing less.

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

The Tasmanian Liberal government is in crisis and a snap election likely to be called as the premier clings to plans for a stadium that will bankrupt the state.
