So if they are made at arms length to the minister by other parties why do we need the ministers

I think his question deserves an answer. I will look forward to finding out who is on the selection panel for that.

It’s the Fat Frog On the Gravy train speaking.

So if the minister authorised like Malcom Roberts said, the minister should be answering the question

So a random staffers approved the grant on behalf of the Minister and the department... good work 👏

Well, who’s making the bloody decisions?.

Why are we have a royal commission ?

I didn’t understand a word Malcom said.

Did she phone a friend?

The real question is why on earth is this in my Facebook feed? Algorithm must be broke 🙄

Why is Australia giving money to Malcolm Roberts?

To buy votes.

Coalition of the willing 75 scabs seats must go Coalition of the willing needed apply Australian voters 😉

Nice little buck pass on the legitimate question, which they never intended to answer🤔

Labor is cooked

Did you get that suit with the hand stitched lapel from Sir Les Patterson. Looks like a hand me down from his famous collection.

If Bourke is Authorising those grants then he should know who they are going to, it does not matter who is supposedly awarding them.

Is it a one nation requirement to not be able to put a coherent sentence together?

These communist ministers must have special training in the duck and weave and how to dodge any legitimate question asked in senate estimates.

Time to investigate!

More votes from Lakemba and Bankstown.

We want answers

Albos pets

Perhaps some people manage the incredible feat of being both creative AND against slaughter (of anyone!)... 🤔

Half the money has gone to her hair.

Sounds like a bloated bureaucracy. Have to spend a fortune to manage aid grants. As an outsider Canberra looks like a sink that has the plug removed. Other comments have put forward a suggestion that all politicians take a pay cut.

I find this very interesting. We had a certain amount of housing commission houses. For Aboriginal people that was sold at the lock in rate of 2.5% interest and a low buying market to first nation, people.. That is my understanding from a real estate agent. These people however, of our local indigenous community lived in them for our 12 months then sold, on to the general public, often at a $200.000 Increase on value. Can someone please look into this? I have tried. I'm not holding judgment if anyone can get into the housing market. I think that is fantastic. But if they're sold off government homes after 12 months not for there people, realistic people that need homes in my community, and there are many Why is this happening? And some of these people now , are living in a million dollar homes and claiming moneys. On the same street now where building 7 more aboriginal housing commission homes will our local and great people live in them. I think not yet many people who get grant of millions of dollars are benefiting from this from their own people.There's quite an angry community here. How community is the south coast?We are not remote.All of these people are very well looked after medically hospitals and homes.I can't understand how this is happening..

Good money after bad

End race based welfare

Seriously Parliament needs to be run like a boardroom but all those with access to taxpayers funds have to be completely accountable and show where they are making money with taxpayers money and if there is no money made it is a loss and they should lose their jobs as what happens in the real world 

Cut government spending by funding more audits? And audits on the auditors? Sounds like a strategy thought up by someone that never expects themselves to be in the drivers seat…

Always lining someone’s pocket, transparency is key to trust.

As I keep saying this government needs investigating

Codswaddle Bring on an audit

Anne-Maree Hardes One Nation has undergone multiple independent audits — both financial and procedural — with consistently clean outcomes. These audits, conducted under the scrutiny of the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) and external accounting firms, have repeatedly confirmed compliance with disclosure laws and funding regulations. That record gives the party a verifiable paper trail unmatched by many competitors. 📊 Audit results and accountability • AEC audits have shown the party’s finances to be properly declared, with no major breaches or concealment. • External reviews commissioned after internal disputes have reaffirmed that funds were handled transparently and in accordance with party rules. • The party’s public release of audit summaries and willingness to cooperate with investigators demonstrate a proactive stance on accountability rather than avoidance. 🧩 smear campaigns Despite these verified results, One Nation has faced persistent campaigns aimed at discrediting its leadership and finances. These efforts often rely on selective reporting or outdated allegations, which collapse under scrutiny when compared with the official audit findings. The party’s openness to investigation — rather than resistance — has repeatedly turned these attacks into proof points of transparency. 🔍 Why this matters In an era when voters demand honesty, One Nation’s audit history provides objective evidence of transparency. While other parties may rely on rhetoric, One Nation can point to documented compliance, independent verification, and public disclosure — the three pillars of genuine transparency.

Great questions Senator Malcolm Roberts

Oh this does my head in ! Senator Roberts asks the questions we all want to know the answers to and it takes 3 or 4 others to try and explain ! MP McCarthy lost her tongue ?

Just get rid of the useless bureaucrats and pocket the $20 million. Simple.

Wow one nation turning up to senate estimates. Your boss Gina ok that?

I wonder .... Did he get one straight answer ? Sounds like their covering their arses

Every indigenous person should be a millionaire after how much has been spent

Well you pushed No on the voice to parliament. The first nation people would have a better chance at how money is spent. But OneMoron party does not speak for all.

Issues surrounding One Nation's financial, compliance, and fundraising audits have been happening for over a decade. Scrutiny of the party's accounts dates back to at least 2017 with Australian Electoral Commission investigations. The timeline of major audit issues involves: 2017: The AEC began formal compliance reviews into One Nation's political donation and disclosure returns. 2019-2022: Following the 2019 and 2022 federal elections, the AEC required the party to repay tens of thousands of dollars in ineligible campaign expense claims. This placed One Nation under strict enforceable reporting conditions. 2016-2022: A review of Queensland Office of Fair Trading documents revealed that One Nation’s financial returns from 2016 to 2022 contained sloppy accounting and $1m in missing or worthless assets. Recent: The Australian Electoral Commission is conducting ongoing compliance reviews into the millions of dollars in public funding received by the party, following recent elections. Additionally, the party recently commissioned an independent software audit to verify its multi-million dollar "Fire the Liar" online fundraising campaign

Where are the Indigenous Elders ?. Surely they should be standing up for their people ?.

Personally I think the workers of all the Aboriginal Affairs departments should be working from offices in the camps. Let them be amongst the people and helping them. Instead of sitting in their fancy offices, getting a great salary and doing very little. This is a little something I think all people should think about in ernest Reconciling within yourself My brain is one that works in ways that even I sometimes do not understand. I was listening to a song by Jason Owen called Proud. It is about him realising he was part Aboriginal, and him reconciling with himself and coming to terms with this fact. Now this is where my brain did its thing. Reconcile mmm, is this not something that all humans need to do, reconcile within themselves and accept who they are, and change any negative behaviours. It is not about others accepting you, or you them. """It is about you, accepting you""". With this reconciliation done within yourself you then learn respect and acceptance of not only yourself, but also of others. No government, nor corporate body, nor amount of money etc can do this, only you can do this for you!

All the equipment purchased from grants when sold off should have the sale price returned to taxpayers. So many items purchased then sold off 2 to 3 years later many times unused. Then they money is kept.

Who knew fossils can talk

In Australia, what's the quickest way to be booted out of a doctor's surgery? Answer: Go in and produced your Medicare card as payment. 😃 😀 😄

Cooker !!

So write the policies/bills and get them through the parliament…..?!

You need to make it clear you will chose the best person for each role. For example medical advisors with real world medical expertise to oversee these departments Malcolm. Not like Labor who appoint their mates to lucrative positions without any experience - for example a treasurer in Jim Chalmers, who holds little more than a PhD in finger painting.

Post tonight that Australia now has over 1,000,000 government employees. How are the relative few private sector employees supposed to pay for all those government employees and sold bludgers?

Do you know the difference between PBS and TGA? I know that they are both three letters but they are different systems. Maybe that's a bit hard for you to handle, Malcolm.

Advance Australia Fair 🤔🤔🤔

The gnome is up and about.

Yes yes and yes - so many agencies doing the same thing. Look into numerous nsw health services who are just glorified consultants… these consultants make appointments to find out what you need help with, then refer you to people who can help- none of them actually help … why do we need 100 companies who all do the exact same thing- referral services … we should just be able to find services that help us directly instead of an agency to recommend an agency who recommends an agency … such a waste of time when people need help immediately. I make these appointments and wait weeks just to be referred to the same places I am engaged with to begin with.

Gotta love the way this Senator hates on Labor when they are solely responsible for all the things he talks about here. Without Labor they would have NEVER happened and conservative politicians have been trying to undo them, weaken them or destroy them ever since. Only Labor modernised the PBS recently to include contraceptive pills for women that make our lives liveable controlling periods.

A record is how ON’ers communicate…

Every time you have a party that says "we'll cut waste", without knowing what they are talking about, they cut vital services, then have to pay contractors far more to do the work after they find out it's vital. They end up wasting more money than the people they are complaining about

Keep up the great purpose filled work your doing Senator Roberts 💕 💯

Not to be outdone by Poooorleeene aka Temu Trump, we've now got Temu Kennedy as well 😂😂😂

keep up the good work

Have you seen the CSIRO has said that wind power is not financially viable

It’s of great concern when big gov is in cahoots with big business. I learnt that phrase from John Pilger in the early 1990’s. So here we are…

The constitution sets out how a country works senator, not the other way round. And ar the NPC captain p did mention removing medicines from the PBS. Bringing in conspiracies from COVID just works in with on ideas. The same saying that expert committees r to be removed - now who does that sound like 🤔that's right, donny - next thing on will make child vaccines non-mandatory - and that's going well in the US isn't it. and Big Pharms hates the PBS scheme senator so sounds like r pandering to them with r plans. U can't have it both ways senator like on is trying to do.

I’ll back ON all the way and ignore the 💩 that’s about to fly across the media We desperately need change for our younger generations 👌💪🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Praying for you.

The Three stooges.

Senator Malcolm you are indeed a great man 🫡

Keep it up 👍

Good job legend love your work 👍❤️
