LNP’s Jane Hume trying to pick out problems in the current government in regards to interest rates & inflation, as she probes Philip Lowe in Senate Estimates.
Asks him what more Labor should be doing at the moment.
Lowe: “Nothing”
Hume grimaces.

Meanwhile in the House, Bob Katter up to some weird, but not unusual antics. Honestly don’t know what he’s talking about, I couldn’t work it out.
Ok so who’s up for today’s Katter challenge? Which is to Unscramble whatever the **** Katter is talking about.
He even puts on an English accent to try get the message across. Didn’t seem to help me tho. 😂😵💫🤔

#Bullish optimism is building around:
- #Fed cutting rates
- #Economy will avoid #recession
- #Employment remains strong.
- #Earnings have corrected enough
Risk to that view remains a recession.

It is called the “#paintrade” because it is the opposite of how #investors are currently positioned. Investor sentiment remains historically #bearish despite improvement since the October lows.

After speaking to farmers in several states, experts and industry insiders, my sense is that a #wheat crisis is imminent for India in the next 4-5 months, or earlier
The agri ministry is estimating a crop size of record 111 million tonnes, but actual production is likely to be at least 10% lower due to the March heatwave and also shift in acreage from wheat to mustard
India is aspiring to feed the world but might end up with egg on its face when domestic consumer prices rise sharply in near future; retail prices are already on the rise
Oh dear. Confusion. Senior Defence officials tell #estimates the Defence Minister has announced that Australia will send up to four Bushmaster armoured vehicles to Ukraine after a request from President Zelenskyy. Then clarify a few minutes later there's been no announcement 1/
It turns out that officials were referring to the Defence Minister's interviews this morning where he flagged Australia *was* willing to help but could only send three or four Bushmasters to Ukraine (at a time) on military planes. No final decision made yet, apparently 2/
Here's the full quote from Dutton on @RNBreakfast - he's basically saying the government is happy to send Bushmasters but officials are trying to work out how we'd get large numbers to Ukraine quickly 3/
Right! I'll be live tweeting @dfat #estimates today. There is a Frances Adamson shaped absence in the room, which is quite strange. The new(ish) @dfat Secretary Kathryn Campbell is making her first appearance in the role. Will be interesting to see how she goes 1/
Payne gives an opening statement. First off she hails the new Australia-ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnership, which he calls a "significant milestone." Here's my story on this from earlier this morning 2/ abc.net.au/news/2021-10-2…
Wong is grilling officials about handling of the AUKUS / nuclear subs announcement. Why were the Indonesians briefed so late? She asks senior official Justin Hayhurst what DFAT's advice was. She says she wants to know if their advice was bad or whether it was ignored (ouch) 3/
Starting a new thread for those following defence #estimates this afternoon. Wong asks how much Defence is spending on contractors? Officials say they spent $1.873 billion last financial year. That figure has shot up over last few years 1/
Wong raises this study by @ASPI_org which suggests that on average a Defence contractor is being paid a salary of $283,000 - around double the average Defence APS salary of $121,000 2/
Officials say the ASPI calculation is not wrong but it's not entirely fair because it's not a "like for like" comparison. Still they agree that on the whole contractors are more expensive. They give several explanations: for eg, they bring a specialist skillset (eg ICT) 3/
Defence #estimates on this morning. When will get the first nuclear submarine delivered under AUKUS? By 2040 as the PM has indicated? The head of sub taskforce says that is the "right hand marker" which he wants to "drag left." He wants "at least one boat" in the water by 2040 1/
Are we looking at leasing out US or UK submarines to help fill the gap given the Collins Class subs are coming towards the end of their lives in the 2030s? The head of the Defence Dept Greg Moriarty seems pretty definitive- he says no 2/
Labor's Penny Wong says the Govt is trying to "eke out the last years of an ageing platform" (Collins) in the hope of covering the gap before the nuclear subs theoretically arrive
Wong: "pretty risky don't you reckon?"
Moriarty: "The PM has said this is a high risk program"

We're back in #NDIS #estimates now and I'm asking questions about transparency and consultation around the Morrison government's proposed changes to our NDIS.
How has the weighting for the questions in each #IndependentAssessments tool been assigned? #ausPol

There is a timeline suggesting this proposal will be introduced in August this year - we need this information before that time.

Did you know the Morrison Government is using YOUR taxes to paying the legal bills for these Liberal Ministers? A short thread 1/5 #estimates markdreyfus.com/media/media-re…
Michaelia Cash was involved in a politically tainted investigation of the AWU. The cost to taxpayers of her legal bills from this debacle? $430,000. 2/5 #estimates
Linda Reynolds has apologised for calling her former staffer Brittany Higgins a “lying cow”. She’s been granted taxpayer-funded assistance for the Federal Police investigation into the alleged rape Ms Higgins. 3/5 theguardian.com/australia-news… #estimates

Services Australia and new minister Linda Reynolds fronting the community affairs committee for spillover #estimates now.
How many robodebt refunds made to date? $724m, 96.4% of eligible customers.
Reynolds says she is "very familiar" with and "passionate" about the NDIS. Was asked if she asked for these specific portfolios.
She won't reveal private conversations with the PM. But she thanks him for staying in regular contact with her while she was in hospital and on leave

Big day in #estimates today. I found out from AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw that the Brittany Higgins investigation had received 32 referrals of information to their investigation, and the AFP are actively pursuing six matters. 1/7
During my questioning of the Secretary of the Department of Parliamentary Services we learned that there had been no changes to parliamentary security protocols since Brittany Higgins’ allegations came to light. 2/7 #estimates
We also learned that a review of security procedures and policies - some of which haven’t been updated since the early 2000s! - had been started in early 2018 but had not yet recommended any changes to security guard duty of care. 3/7 #estimates
Another shocking Morrison cover up. #Estimates exposes Mr Morrison’s inquiry into the alleged sexual assault in Parliament House as a sham, the head of his Department blames the AFP, and the AFP denies any responsibility. Here's the evidence. 1/4
Mr Morrison last week told Parliament he was awaiting a report from, Phil Gaetjens, the head of his Department, on who knew what and when in his office about the alleged rape. 2/4
But Mr Gaetjens, has just revealed he told the PM on 9 March he'd put his investigation on hold at the request of the AFP. 3/4

Services Australia up in front of #estimates now. Strap in folks. #auspol
First off, Labor's Jenny McAllister asks officials about how they identify customers who are experiencing family violence.
Services Australia made 75,000 referrals for customers to family violence support in the past year
I will be tweeting Department of Social Services #estimates today. And filing to @GuardianAus blog #auspol
Just going through some DSS advertising contracts at the moment. Katy Gallagher wanted to ask about jobseeker but that'll be in the next session
DSS secretary Kathryn Campbell: "We have provided advice to the government on the rate of jobseeker."
*Sizzling* new #Watergate documents show taxpayers & rivers were ripped off.
Kudos to @Senator_Patrick for epic FoI battle.
After 2 year cover up, only explanations left are incompetence or wrongdoing by @DeptAgNews under @Barnaby_Joyce. THREAD.

Taxpayers paid @AngusTaylorMP's former co $80m for dubious water in Condamine Balonne valley. It seemed outrageous at the time, esp when the co announced a $52m profit on the deal.
@MaryanneSlatte1 & I showed, the dpt had haggled the price *up*.

The price of $2,745/ML and profit have never been disputed, but Department told the Senate “This price was consistent with the market valuation,” along with some other selective quotes and misrepresentations:

So, I decided to take a closer look at who's who on the Board.
It's made up of a mix of ex-Libs/Nats, mining/banking/finance/media execs, public servants & some sporty ppl

It's difficult to determine when some of these Board members were originally appointed many years ago, but all have been appointed or reappointed by Greg Hunt or Bridget McKenzie
