Michaelia Cash is unfit to be Attorney-General. Here's why:
1. How can Australia have a First Law Officer who twice refused requests to co-operate with an Australian Federal Police Investigation? smh.com.au/politics/feder…
2. Remember – this was an investigation into the leaking, BY HER OWN OFFICE, of information which could have compromised a police raid. theconversation.com/the-case-of-mi…
3. As Attorney-General Senator Cash will be in charge of the Sex Discrimination Act, but in 2018 she was forced to apologise for threatening to make public totally unfounded rumours about female staff working at Parliament House. theguardian.com/australia-news…
4. In November last year Senator Cash was reported to have sent "attacking and demeaning" messages about a female staffer and using a fake redundancy process to terminate her employment. abc.net.au/news/2020-11-1…

1. Now we know why Mr Morrison broke his promise to cooperate with the Ruby Princess Special Commission. He clearly didn’t want his Government being questioned about the disturbing failures of Peter Dutton’s Border Force revealed by @abc730 1/6 abc.net.au/7.30/border-fo…
2. Bret Walker SC was appointed by the NSW Liberal Government to lead the Ruby Princess Special Commission. On 21 April this year, Mr Morrison promised the full cooperation of his Government. 2/6
3. But Mr Morrison didn’t keep his word. The Morrison Government refused to allow its officials to give evidence to the Commission about the Commonwealth’s mishandling of the Ruby Princess. 3/6

With Scott Morrison, Christian Porter was the architect of the Robodebt extortion racket. Today he claimed the Gov “zeroed the debts” as soon as it learned the scheme was illegal. Here’s a thread showing that claim is false. The Gov knew for years it was acting illegally 1/7
It is a matter of public record that, on 8 March 2017, a member of the Administrative Appeals Tribunal held that “[n]o debt or debt component is able to be founded on extrapolations from Australian Tax Office records”. The Government did not appeal that decision. 2/7
On 20 April 2017, the same member of the AAT again held that “[n]o debt or debt component is able to be founded on extrapolations from Australian Tax Office records”. The Government did not appeal that decision. 3/7

Scott Morrison and other senior members of the Government continue to boast about Australia's take up of, and investment in, renewable energy as if it were an achievement of this federal Liberal Government. But what are the facts? A short thread. 1/7
Just 3 months ago, on October 9, Scott Morrison’s hand-picked Minister for Emissions Reduction was arguing that Australia had built TOO MUCH renewable energy generation bit.ly/35LxI2i 2/7
Mr Morrison now boasts that the Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC) is “the world’s most successful green bank”. But that was after he and his colleagues repeatedly voted to ABOLISH it. When that failed, the Liberals ordered the CEFC to cease investing in wind and solar 3/7

A lot has happened over the past week - you may have missed a big government backdown over Family Court laws. Here's what you need to know. #thread (1/6) theaustralian.com.au/nation/politic…
This policy was flawed from the very beginning - it was rolled out with zero consultation with those most closely involved in the day to day workings of the Family Court, including the families themselves. It would have destroyed the family law system. (2/6)
Thankfully @cporterwa abandoned his plans this week. But the uncertainty has done lasting damage to the Family Court. And the shocking thing is Porter is refusing to give the Family Court additional resources because he did not get his way with the bill. (3/6)
