Twiggy's Minderoo Fdn during the pandemic bought $29m of PPE equipment + $170m of testing equipment, all via a new subsidiary - First Sourcing and Logistics Pty Ltd.
Rev from sale of testing equipment ($170m) + only $5m from PPE equipment.
The Govt paid $189m (assume GST accounts for the difference).
Oh - First Sourcing and Logistics Pty Ltd was only registered as a company with ASIC on 3 April 2020....only a couple of days after Twiggy had arranged the first plane-load of supplies from China.
And in their own right Minderoo Fdn was paid a further $25m for medical supplies.
Hey Senator Bragg, I've noticed you've recently got a few gifts/donations from Churchill Advisory Pty Ltd - a registered lobbyist at Fed govt/NSW govt levels.
What's the go?
I couldn't help but notice that Churchill Advsiory has a number of financial and technology clients.
I couldn't help but notice that Senator Bragg chairs the Senate Select C'tee on Fin Tech and Regulatory Tech.
I couldn't help but notice that Raiz Invest Ltd is a client of Churchill Advisory.
I couldn't help but notice that Raiz Invest was one of the first companies invited to appear before the Ctee that Sen Bragg chairs.

THREAD: COVID-19 COMMISSION - Gimme a B, Gimme a C, Gimme a G
The almost unaccountable Covid19 Commission really needs some more scrutiny.
Take the $0.5m tender it awarded to Boston Consulting Group (BCG) for a month’s work of “business administration” services.
@murraywatt raised it in the sen ctee & the response by the dep CEO of the Commission was enlightening.
BCG got the gig because they did pro bono work for the Covid19 Commission, and Nev and his mates decided they should then get paid. Don’t believe me, read the transcript:
It appears a new pathway to winning gov contracts is offer your services free and then get a contract.
I’d like like to see a middle ranking public servant try that stunt and see if they could pull it off.
Re: $150m #sportsrorts female change room program exposed by the Guardian today.
This program is actually funded by Dept of Infrastructure, not Dept of Health where the other #sportsrorts program, nominally overseen by Bridget McKenzie, was funded.
See below
This implicates both the PM and Deputy PM as being part of the rorts. The PM announced this program on 30 March -so he knew all about it.
Also, a number of candidates thanked the #Crimeminister on the campaign trail for his personal involvement in getting specific programs up.....here's Sarah Henderson thanking the PM for his intervention.
Congratulations Michelle Landry on new ministerial job, will go down in the anals of hsitory.
Riddle me this, your register of interests says you have a residential unit in Griffith ACT. NB not investment but residential.
Yet you claim travel allowance when in Canberra?
Now Mark Coulton, same for you.
Residential apartment in Canberra, but yet you claim travel allowance when in Canberra?
Now Darren Chester, appears you are doing likewise: apartment in Kingston, ACT (50% residential and 50% investment) and you too appear to claim travel allowance when in Canberra...at 100% rate
