Is this the biggest rort of them all? Billions promised for commuter car parks, ¾ of them in Liberal seats. Check out this map from the Auditor-General’s report (My seat, Isaacs, is the one with no car parks, between 2 then Liberal seats with 9). 1/6
This is what the Auditor-General found: Not a single one of the promised car parks was selected on merit. 2/6
Of the 47 car parks promised, just 2 have been built (all announcement and no delivery, again!) 3/6
“The department’s approach …. was not appropriate. It was not designed to be open or transparent … and it was not demonstrated that projects were selected on merit.” 4/6
Meanwhile, it’s now been over 30 months since Mr Morrison promised an anti-corruption commission but what did his last budget contain? Nothing. 5/6
Read the full, damning report on Scott Morrison’s latest taxpayer-funded rort here. 6/6 anao.gov.au/work/performan…

What do the experts think about Mr Morrison’s delusional and arrogant attempt to extend his secrecy obsession to “national cabinet”? "It's frankly bizarre legislation. I mean, why would you assert something that's not true.” Professor Anne Twomey. 7news.com.au/politics/legal…
"The method that's been chosen not only casts the net of secrecy very widely, but it represents a frontal attack on the entire constitutional system of responsible government.” Accountability Roundtable.

“It is a diminution of Australians access to information rights.” Australian Information Commissioner. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

The #IPCC Report spells out the crisis facing our planet. This crisis is both a threat to, and an opportunity for, Australia. Yet Scott Morrison and his Government continue to criticise, mock and belittle anyone who advocates for serious action on climate change. 1/9
Just last week Mr Morrison’s Government watered down the commitment of the Clean Energy Finance Corporation and ARENA to invest in renewable energy. 2/9 reneweconomy.com.au/contentious-ar…
In April Mr Morrison was still claiming that the need to take serious action on climate change was the concern of “inner city residents” 3/9 abc.net.au/news/2021-04-2…

Scott Morrison’s delusional and arrogant attempt to declare National Cabinet exempt from public scrutiny has been comprehensively repudiated by a judge of the Federal Court. Here's some of the key parts of the judgment. 1/5 www8.austlii.edu.au/cgi-bin/viewdo…
"The mere use of the name “National Cabinet” does not, of itself, have the effect of making a group of persons using the name a “committee of the Cabinet”. Nor does the mere labelling of a committee as a “Cabinet committee” have that effect." 2/5
"This seemed tantamount to a submission that any committee may be a “committee of the Cabinet” for the purposes of the FOI Act merely because the Prime Minister of the day has purported to establish it as such. This premise is unsound." 3/5

Utterly shameless: Scott Morrison is using the Covid lockdowns to sneak through laws watering down obligations on companies and company directors to provide accurate and timely information to their shareholders. 1/4
The Senate Economics Committee called Mr Morrison's proposal "foolish and dangerous" and concluded that the changes would harm retail investors, including self-funded retirees. Now Mr Morrison wants to sneak these laws through the Senate because he thinks nobody is watching. 2/4
We need the Senate crossbench to help us to stop these laws from passing the Senate. Senator Hanson has said that she supports retail investors. Now she has an opportunity to prove she actually stands for anything other than supporting Mr Morrison by opposing these laws. 3/4

It’s now been 937 days since Mr Morrison promised a National Anti-Corruption Commission. Here’s 7 things Mr Morrison is afraid it could investigate:
1/7 A National Anti-Corruption Commission could investigate his Car Park Rorts. theconversation.com/another-day-an…
2/7 A National Anti-Corruption Commission could investigate his Sports Rorts. theconversation.com/the-sports-ror…
3/7 A National Anti-Corruption Commission could investigate his illegal and cruel Robodebt scam.

The Morrison Government is trying to use the cover of COVID to water down the obligations on companies and company directors to provide accurate and timely information to shareholders. A thread. 1/6
The Senate Economics Committee has found that the Morrison Government’s proposal to water down Australia’s world-leading continuous disclosure laws is a “solution in search of a problem” and based on dodgy “evidence”. The Committee is spot on. 2/6
As the Committee notes, Mr Morrison wants to make it harder for shareholders to hold company directors accountable for withholding price sensitive information from the market: “That is not some unintended consequence - that is the government's explicit policy objective". 3/6
