Last night’s #budget2020 did not include a single cent of funding towards the establishment of a Federal anti-corruption commission, despite the Morrison government promising to establish one since December 2018 #AusPol

Just over a year ago the #Greens Federal ICAC passed the @AuSenate with only the Morrison government voting against it. If there was any desire to establish a Federal #ICAC from the Morrison government they would have brought our bill on for a vote, but they still haven’t #AusPol

In February of this year, the @AuSenate again voted to compekl the Morrison government to bring on our #ICAC bill for a vote in the House of Reps. Again, nothing happened #AusPol

Since 2012, the major parties have taken more than $156 million worth of donations from big corporations; corporations that in yesterday’s #budget were given $99 billion worth of tax subsidies. This is a HUGE return on their investment, and exactly why we need an #ICAC

In the last year alone we’ve seen a sideshow of scandals involving Ministers @AlanTudgeMP @AngusTaylorMP @senbmckenzie including government-directed community sports grants in key seats it needed to win the 2019 Federal Election #SportsRorts #AusPol

The National COVID Commission is stacked full of former gas executives and in last night’s #budget we saw their influence clearly with treasurer @JoshFrydenberg pledging to open up 5 mega gas zones, whilst only mentioning #ClimateChange once #AusPol

This op ed by @larissawaters sheds some more light on the Morrison government’s aversion to a Federal #ICAC junkee.com/corruption-com…

Same Liberal government, same unfair #budget

Once again it is the wealthy and the big corporations who are the biggest winners. No integrity, no action on #climatechange and no support for Australians who are struggling to get through #COVID19 #AusPol
