At the May/June Senate Estimates, I asked the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) about their accountability and responsibilities for financial services and then probed further into depositor guarantees. I wanted to try and establish whether Australians’ savings are secure in the event of a financial crash. Have a listen. APRA made the point that Financial […]
At the May/June Senate Estimates I asked questions of the Coal LSL Board to establish that a person working under an Enterprise Agreement contract cannot receive benefits less than the agreed award for the same category. Under the Black Coal Award there’s no category for casuals because casuals are not allowed to be employed under […]
Ten medical professionals have had their registrations suspended by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) simply because they spoke out about the COVID injection risks — 4 doctors, 5 nurses and 1 pharmacist. Even now, AHPRA officials remain in denial about the risks that these injections pose, despite the growing body of evidence that […]
In the May-June Senate Estimates, I asked David de Carvalho, CEO of the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) why the National Assessment Program — Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) will no longer report progress through the NAPLAN ban system so that parents can see how their child is progressing relative to others? In light […]
Parents contacted my office with concerns they had about a National Assessment Program (NAP) science quiz survey, which targeted children in Grade 6 (11 and 12 years). One of the survey questions was about families ‘compliance’ with the government’s COVID guidelines/regulations. In Senate Estimates, I asked how relevant this line of questioning was with the […]
This area of stunning natural beauty, with its rock wallabies and rock art galleries, holds the most important critical koala population in North Queensland. It’s exactly the kind of area Australians would expect to be protected, and it’s running out of time. The Upper Burdekin and Mount Fox is adjacent to a Wet Tropics Heritage […]
Here is my reflection on the second Albanese government budget, particularly relevant as the Prime Minister is breaking his election promises at breakneck speed. Were these promises ever designed to be kept? Or were these strategic promises designed to hide this government’s Soviet-style agenda during the election campaign? It’s that agenda that I speak to […]
This is the disgraceful reality behind the climate change agenda. A reality most Australians never get to see. How do the Greens feel about vulnerable Greater Glider habitat being cleared in Far North Queensland? Will they say it’s for the Greater Good? What about pushing out the endangered Northern Quoll in order to dig roads […]
The BRICS member states are abandoning the United States’ dollar and other nations are seeking to join the BRICS bloc, which accounts for 25% of world trade and is expected to grow to 50% by 2030. The US dollar is now just 58% of all world trade. As the world moves away from the US […]
The Creative Australia bill 2023 is more about politics than art. It is legislation designed to modernise the Australia Council, but in reality it’s driving artists and writers overseas in search of art and culture. Modernising art has resulted in a era where junk is put on display in the town square and the real […]
