Is the Human Rights Commission Neutral?

I questioned the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Dr Cody, regarding the Australian Human Rights Commission’s intervention as an amicus curiae in the Tickle v Giggle case. I asked Dr Cody whether the Commission could genuinely claim neutrality when participating in the legal action. I also raised concerns regarding the official report Equal Identities, questioning whether the […]

CASA Defends Enforcement Actions

I questioned the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) CEO Ms. Spence regarding the authority’s heavy-handed treatment, regulatory delays and conflicts of interest directed at Mr Barker and his company, UAS Pacific. When pressed about why Mr. Lewis — a former UAS Pacific employee whose credibility, motives, and personal “axe to grind” were flagged in Fair […]

Conflicts and Controversies

In my questioning of NACC Commissioner Brereton, we reviewed the commission’s performance and legislative framework since July 2023. Commissioner Brereton confirmed that the NACC has received 7,624 referrals, of which 7,026 have gone through the assessment process. Out of these, 54 investigations have been commenced alongside 22 inherited from ACLEI; 35 have been completed and […]

Why Fire Ant Chemicals Worry Locals

Are the chemicals used in the fire ant eradication program truly “not toxic”? I raised this question with the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) during the last senate estimates. Pyriproxyfen and S-methoprene are targeted insect growth regulators. Said to be safe for soil microbes and non-accumulative in the food chain, they are toxic […]

The Broken Aged Care Complaint System

I questioned the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission on the severe problems within the aged Home Care Package system, highlighting the specific case of the Smith family (with their permission). The Smiths had $3,000 taken from their package and paid to a contractor for incomplete tree trimming. The Commission dismissed their complaint without explanation, […]

Jail, Lies, and Ruined Lives

I questioned Ms Owen – the Inspector-General of Taxation – about the alarming Supreme Court of Queensland judgment in The King v Clarke, a 2017 case where the ATO pursued a fraudulent criminal prosecution regarding an R & D application. I pointed out how the court ultimately threw the matter out and found that ATO […]

Empowering Terminal Patients

When someone is facing a life-threatening illness and all standard treatments have been exhausted, waiting shouldn’t be a barrier to hope. That’s why One Nation will be introducing legislation for the “Right to Try.” If a patient’s condition is terminal and existing measures have failed, they can request, or a doctor can suggest, an alternative […]

Foreign Treaties Don’t Rule Australia

I questioned officials to clarify the implications of UN General Assembly Resolution A/80/L.65, which Australia supported on 20 May 2026, regarding the International Court of Justice’s (ICJ) 2025 advisory opinion on state climate obligations. I noted that the ICJ’s opinion is purely advisory and non-binding. Department official Mr McCarthy confirmed the court cannot take direct […]

Delivering Tax Cuts, Not Taxes

The group’s core duties span three main areas: budget production, managing financial arrangements and payments between the Commonwealth and States and Territories, and providing spending advice. In this advisory role, the group guides […]

The Creeping Threat of Socialism

The Albanese government’s reckless May budget is an anchor on our economy, overtaxing productive Australians to fund a woke, bloated public sector and wasteful infrastructure like Victoria’s Suburban Rail Loop. Slapping new taxes on small scale investors, such as Crypto, punishing business owners and fuelling inflation through overspending is stifling wealth creation, driving record small […]
