Most observers thought the Robodebt Royal Commission would reflect badly on the Morrison government. It will do that, but is more startling in its exposure of routine lying, cowardice, corruption and dysfunctionality in the senior ranks of the Australian Public Service.
Quote Tweet
A bureaucrat involved in drafting his department’s response to the Ombudsman as it investigated Robodebt has conceded he failed to provide full and frank information. Under intense question at the #RobodebtRC, he admitted approving false statements.

It's diabolical our precious public native forests are being sacrificed to #logging for unsustainable commercial timber interests in a #climatecrisis...
But this is being approved in NSW, Victoria, Tasmania & Qld at massive expense despite future risk.

Being a deep valley, the landscape naturally protects the area from fire & it is completely free of roads or other access, so it is in pristine condition. Forests of Mountain Gum, Alpine Ash and other species merge into Snow Gum woodlands on the higher areas. #SavetheLittleDargo

It takes immense courage to wake up from the matrix, knowing already that doing so will get you depressed. How many of us wake up on a Monday, look outside our window and think : “What have we done to this world?” #humanity #mentalhealth #ClimateCrisis

Replying to
Albo, it's important 2b truthful re: Molan, especially as a PM who wants to implement the Uluru Statement, which includes truth telling.
