All they do is go round and round in circles and they can never answer the question honestly I don’t know what they’re being paid for when they don’t know the answer. It is very frustrating for the Australian people.🤮

Give em heaps....under Australian legislation all Government departments are to be audited & if they cannot answer & show processes they then need to show cause why they should not be demoted or terminated.🤬🤬🤬 I don't believe that has changed.

Why was he terminated on what basis. For them to lose trust and confidence in that Secretary and in turn terminated his job they know the reason. Stop dodging the question SACK THEM BOTH

They are working very hard to not answer the questions the senator is asking,

Well done Senator Malcolm Roberts as always.

I’ve lost trust & confidence in the whole lot of them 🤬

The President has no idea and not in control so she should step down in this role and not get any government payout.. she is lying or incompetent

OMG they didn’t even want to take it on notice, that’s new they just didn’t want to know about it. Speaks volumes. 🙈🙉 great work Senator

DPS cover up

Restore trust and confidence🤣🙄. So, admitting that ppl have lost confidence, but won't address the situation that caused the prob. Like councils, just sweep it all under the carpet, we don't know, we are moving on 🤦‍♀️🤬🥱wt absolute f? Utter bs. Thank God for You Senator Malcolm Roberts 🙏

Why and how do we have IMBECILES in these positions. It’s obvious that they haven’t graduated from primary school, so how did the ever manage to get a position in the government. How and why are they not Terminated and on the dole.

Taxpayers pay their wages .

You do a fantastic job, but why do we never see the accountability?

I want to know why many departments collect funds when the constitution states clearly all fees fines and levies must go into consolidated revenue of the commonwealth of Australia consolidated revenue, there is no law that allows funds to go to states or other corporations.

It’s always middle aged women or rainbow lanyard wearing men answering the questions who the hell employs these people? They never know the answers to basic questions

What a fkn joke!!!!! What is her job..... FFS..... No you have not answered the question. And they are being paid..... you would think they should be up to speed with why they lost confidence in him..... otherwise step down and get someone in there that can do the job

I'm am disgusted continuously at the outright arrogance displayed at these enquires whether it's Renwick or Roberts pursuing transparency and accountability and no straight answers,are given. I'd like to see a top gun QC in a court room go after these people and bring an end to this bs. Oh I think it's a king now so KC not queens councillor.

She looks like, she don't give a f... 😕

They are embarrassingly incompetent

Yes we want to know what’s going on.

No accountability, glad your drilling them to be accountable.

Good work Malcolm. Cheers.

The swamp at its best we need to clean the public service out.

Regardless of whatever political colour, I want transparency and accountability in all areas of political/bureaucratic scope. It’s not your money!

So Mr Stephanic watches over his own position, therefore he figured his position was for himself to step down for his own actions on his own accord apparently & took himself to court.

This needs to be stoped it is xriminal act what they do,omg,,,thank you senator Malcolm for your hard hard work🙏

Is that not illegal to enter without permission? And to do it immediately after you leaving was very shifty.

Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts for listening to us and our concerns about the indiscriminate prophylactic poisoning of our properties even when fireants aren't present. 👏 Thank you for your support against the bullying that accompanies the poisoning. It's been hard. 😢

lock them up

We have a cost of living crisis and this is where the taxpayers $ goes!? I see them every morning, line up in a convoy of up to 8 vehicles at the local servo. Sometimes pushing in front of locals. They’ve hired a real demographic of dodgy employees, let me tell you. I hope more people will wake up to this criminal overreach!

Investigate who benifits $.

This is a narrow minded approach to a huge issue. Just like covid. You can’t trust the government. It’s our government that let them in, just like veroa mite.asleep at the wheel.

Thanks for your efforts Senator. It's an absolute disgrace that Australia is being subjected to this Insanity.

It has nothing to do With fire ants There is another agenda Otherwise that’s still be chasing Cane toads

LNP and the right when Fire Ants first came in under the last federal Government did nothing and left it all to the State Labor Government. It was a disgrace what the right did now those pests are all over Qld. Australia's biosecurity is a Federal issue it shouldn't have been left to the State to manage with limited resourcing. Fire Ants are here to stay. I got bitten by just one two months back and i near took myself to hospital. I had ice on for 4 hours, i took an antihistamine and a Panadeine forte. My ankle swelled up and was rock hard for three days. The pain was intense for 6 hours. And that is just one bite.

Good there is a good man that Australian can ran to👍👌💞

Crazy nearly everytime i've gone to grantham in the past week theres been like 40 of them there having lunch

Well Malcolm were paying you what are you doing about it???

Why isn’t the Liberal Premier standing up to this??? He said he wouldn’t be told what to do by UN Who does he think is behind Invasive Species??? Not who they make out to be!👿😡

Yesterday in Samford/Yugar area had a “LOW Flying” Green helicopter making multiple passes over properties! Was in the air flying low for about 1 hour! What the hell was it doing?? Spraying for Fire ants? This area has water tanks that could be “Poisoned” by these chemical sprays!!

Communist public servants violating ratepayers with toxic chemicals .

Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts for listening to the people and articulating the failure of the fire ant eradication program. For so long, we have been a few voicing our concerns and with your voice, the voice of Senator Gerard Rennick and Jim Willmott , the concerns are being heard by more and for this we are grateful. We the people, wish to be able to perverse our environment, waterways, fauna and flora, our homes and gardens and not to be dictated by government bodies, who do not know our land as well as we do. It is a money laundering process and it is destroying our environment at the same time. None of the National Fire Ant Eradication Program makes sense, to any logical person.

I have a couple of observations about your new policy Malcolm. Firstly, there is no other scientific method to eradicate. Hot water is a control method for visible nests. Not an eradication method. As is every other alternative treatment method mentioned by Sarah McGuire. How can you say you support eradication with property rights at the forefront but have no viable method to eradicate? Secondly, hay is not sprayed with bifenthrin, barriers are put around storage areas to prevent fire ants breaching storage and infesting hay. The comment about horse manure not being as good due to horses being fed bifenthrin is plain ridiculous. And is yet another example of misinformation. Farmers would like to retire at some point I’m sure, how valuable will their land be to sell if it’s infested with fire ants? Writing a new policy means nothing if you have no viable eradication alternatives

Just have your big hoses out ready to soak the area big time that they sprayed. Dig up the area first and bag the soil and burn it. It will help! And hose the arseolles while they are on your property as well. It's a pity you can't put out the nice sharp traps on your property for when they turn up but we don't want to harm other wildlife setting them up. I'd love to see one of their legs caught in one of those!!

Senator Malcolm Roberts You haven’t achieved anything worthwhile yet collect $235K per annum. Go away
