The hits keep coming as government officials apologise for providing incorrect evidence about errors in a $3.48 million report on Age Assurance technologies that they have described as ‘sloppy’.

Just in from estimates: the government wasted $370k on consultants to develop the failed Misinformation bill. This doesn’t include the cost of the Department’s work in developing the bill ($$$).

My thoughts are with Independent MP Helen Haines and her family. I’m praying for her speedy recovery. Everyone deserves to go home safely from work!

Unfortunate development this afternoon as my motion to release documents on Trump’s blood-soaked deal for Russian diesel is blocked.

Australians are concerned about allegations of pork barrelling, which the ABC was right to air. These motions of mine were agreed to today and yesterday and will shed more light on this issue.

Slightly technical but important motion I was able to get up today: On Tuesday, there were more than 1,000 overdue questions taken on notice during estimates, some more than 2 years ago! This motion orders monthly updates on how many are left until they're all answered.

The Digital Transformation Agency tried to reach out to a government board about AI policy by...trying to guess their email? Then, when the email bounced back, despite being from a government email address, DTA's email filter sent it to the spam folder and it was missed🤦‍♀️ @DTA

““Consistent with longstanding practice, the Department…does not disclose information about the business and operations of cabinet,” came the response. Except, that’s not strictly true. The department provided an answer to that same question when Julia Gillard was in power.”
