Senator David Shoebridge

Adults can unfollow too 🤨

To be abundantly clear I think Ms Segal should have publicly stated her condemnation of these rallies at the time. She hasn't hesitated to condemn peaceful rallies for Palestinian peace and justice.

We found out this morning when the NACC was investigating the Chief of Staff of the Secretary of Home Affairs, that the Secretary called up Brereton requesting the corruption referral be expedited. Why was this inquiry rushed when others wait for answers?

The Government will kick 2 million young people off social media and in doing so harm many of them. Aren't they concerned about this impact?

Their answer: young people should go touch grass (no they're not funding additional sport or anything)

From 11.45 am today in the Senate Estimates hearing I will be asking questions of the Anti-Semitism Commissioner. You can watch online here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wblc...

There is $1 million budgeted for the legal assistance needed for NACC to properly reconsider the Robodebt referrals - this funding ends in February 2026 and I hope for all of us that means there will be answers and accountability at this time (6+ years after Robodebt ended).

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

The NACC has AGAIN been forced to correct its evidence about how many times the Commissioner has consulted for Defence.

This is ridiculous.

Raising the Morning Star flag outside the Australian Parliament House today in solidarity with West Papuans.

Each year, we commemorate the first raising of the flag on December 1. I am proud to commit to peace and justice everywhere, and upholding the fundamental rights of First Peoples globally.

The agency in charge of FOI laws takes an average of 84 days to respond to FOI applications - the fox in charge of the henhouse!!

Heading into estimates and was wondering what the group noun is for consultants?

A theft? A robbery? A misdirection?

So glad to be with a bunch of protesters in Newcastle who did more for the climate in one weekend than the Australian Labor Party has done in 3 years

NSW Police proudly wasting millions on this next-to-useless police vessel “Nemesis” which has been cruising Newcastle Harbour trying to intimidate climate protestors this weekend.

Your tax dollars being flushed. Ohhh and Labor wants to buy a new one for a cool $46.5 million.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

NACC chief executive apologises to parliament for inaccurate evidence National Anti-Corruption Commission chief executive Philip Reed writes to parliament apologising for inaccuracies in evidence given during Senate estimates.

The NACC AGAIN apologises to Parliament for incorrect information provided about the actions of Commissioner Major General Brereton. For the NACC to have any chance of doing its job properly he has to go.

Watchdogs spent millions with security firm linked to Finks bikie gang The company is tied to the outlaw motorcycle gang partly through its involvement in a controversial security deal on Nauru.

Have we reached peak dysfunction?! The NACC handed $1.1M to MA Services - the firm running a Nauru security operation linked with the Finks bikie gang. They're also guarding the ACIC who are literally tasked with taking down bikie gangs🤯

This is such a tragedy in Hong Kong. To every one touched by this terrible fire, our thoughts are with you and the people of Hong Kong right now.

Meta-facilitated scams are only going to increase as AI enters the scam market. It's disgraceful that the Government isn't cracking down harder on platforms that are making money from easily preventable scam ads!

Facebook is a scam factory. Meta's own internal audit reveals 10% of their revenue comes from spam advertising - $16bn annually. Between 2020-2023 scam losses in Australia increased 249%. In 76% of cases, contact occurred on Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp).

Sometimes you have to call these One Nation attacks on migrants out for what they are 🤮

Hearing from Juliet Harris from Together Scotland about how Scotland has made huge changes for young people by upholding the rights of the child - key mechanisms including lifting young people out of poverty with govt payments and genuinely consulting with them

Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.

It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

So many Lebanese civilians are being killed and injured but no one stops Israel. Sanctions and a two way weapons ban remain crucial. The world needs to stop the killing.

Yesterday saw a fresh escalation in Israel’s illegal assassinations with a missile attack on Beirut. It follows a drone attack on a Palestinian refugee camp and Israel’s continued illegal bombing and occupation of Southern Lebanon.
