Rishworth’s Robodebt - The Scandal Labor Can’t Hide This is explosive. The Federal Ombudsman has busted Labor’s Amanda Rishworth Amanda Rishworth MP - a senior Cabinet Minister - for running her Privatised Mutual Obligation scheme "unlawfully". Not just a minor slip-up. The

🚨 New data shows 75% of Aussie adults gamble—& half are at risk of harm. Yet govts do nothing. Anthony Albanese still hasn’t responded to the Murphy Inquiry (27 months on). Chris Minns silent as NSW loses over $1M/hr to pokies. 📊 Read the report: ministers.dss.gov.au/media-releases… #GamblingHarm

The Commodore (corner of Blues Pt Rd and Union St McMahons Point) is renovating Reports are that they will reopen with NEARLY TWICE AS MANY POKIES Australia is 🤮 NSW is the sickest. #STOPGAMBLINGHARM Lives and families are being ruined - some actually die. #PetaMurphy #auspol

Gambling regulation in Aus is a national disgrace. The govt has ignored the Murphy Report & repeatedly blocked my bill to hold gambling giants accountable. If they won’t listen to evidence, experts or the crossbench, they should at least listen to the community. #auspol #politas

If these embarrassing gambling regulators & bureaucrats up in Darwin won’t even talk to 4 Corners, the Senate should drag them before a committee and give them the rounds of the kitchen. Albo is the person ultimately protecting this toxic industry nationally. A total disgrace.

C’mon Anthony Albanese, you promised Australians a new era of transparency .. not more bl**dy secrecy! FOI changes: Labor must drop flawed and friendless freedom of information bill afr.com/politics/feder…

Having charged Richard D Boyle for 66 offenses, tied up the courts for 6 years, spent $339,703 on external legal fees, chilled whistleblowing - with the Court refusing to convict - it’s mind-blowing the CDPP still thinks his prosecution was in the public interest. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Family is everything.

This is why I’ve fought so hard to save community run childcare centres in the ACT. We need to rethink how early childhood education & care is provided in 🇦🇺. afr.com/policy/health-… Pumping more & more money into worse care by for-profit providers is not a recipe for long

The Govt has developed preliminary costings for the storage & disposal of #AUKUS high level nuclear waste. You’re not allowed to see what it is and the Senate is not being told either. The only thing we do know is that you’ll be paying for it. #FOI #auspol michaelwest.com.au/aukus-nuclear-…

Even after being found guilty of 'officer misconduct' for mishandling the Robodebt referral, Commissioner of the NACC continues consultancy role despite concerns of perceived conflicts of interest. At $820k/year surely he can focus on doing one job well? abc.net.au/news/2025-10-1…

What an absolute disgrace that former Wallaby, Senator David Pocock has been excluded from the Parliamentary Sports Club because he raised concerns about the club’s links to the gambling industry.l

Former Wallabies star David Pocock booted from parliamentary sports club #reducegamblingharm Looks like a pretty audacious but stupid PR move by #BigGambling #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

This is absolutely astonishing. The tentacles of lobbying go deep *inside* Parliament. You want to know why I want people to vote for independents and minor parties? Watch this to find out how democracy is sold to the highest bidder, and what happens when you call it out.

Who’s “Australian Parliament Sports Club Ltd” lobbying for? The gambling lobby The payment lobby (BPay/Eftpos) Big alcohol companies - Diageo (Johnnie Walker/Guinness/Smirnoff/Bundy/etc) - Lion (XXXX/Corona/Stella/etc) Serco (offshore detention etc) Ampol Hyundai Pfizer

Here’s a map of Australia’s independent news media landscape. I call TrueNorth a ‘trusted curation’ model #auspol

Unbelievable. And is the PM going to resign as president of this lobbying outfit now?

The Albanese govt’s first term was the second most secretive on record. Rather than changing their ways, they’re doubling down and tightening our FOI system to make it even harder to get information. Not a single expert or member of parliament outside of the Labor party has

Very pleased to see the Treasurer listening to community concerns. Economic reform only works when people are brought along. PS. Shout out to Kylea Tink , who did important work on this during her term - a good reminder of what independents can achieve for their communities.
