David Shoebridge

I have deep concerns about the direction this platform is taking. We will continue to post here about key matters (for the moment) but please follow bsky.app/profile/davids… for comprehensive updates.

Asking the Royal Commission into Social Cohesion and Antisemitism if Muslim communities can't give evidence and false claims of antisemitism which conflate a bake sale or wearing a keffiyeh with antisemitism go unchallenged, what exactly is this royal commission for?

This is the Department where things go to die.

Many of you are asking where the Government is up to on a Human Rights Act. We asked the Attorney General's Department what 'actively considering' a Human Rights Act means. Not a lot as it turns out. A briefing a year ago 🙄

@Therealpizda This is exactly the point.

@DavidShoebridge Shoey. We need better privacy laws.

On tranche 2 privacy reform: Corporate Australia is hoovering up your biometric data and they can because we have last-century privacy laws in this country. Labor's response is that at some unspecified point in the future, they'll consult on legislation they haven't written yet..

@RonniSalt Badge of honour Ronni

If you're wondering how the recently resigned #NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, spent his time in his $800,000 p.a job, at least some of it was dedicated to writing to the Inspector General about some individual called, Ronni Salt's, twitter activities. After the first #robodebt decision failure, we encouraged people to exercise their democratic right to complain about that decision to the Inspector General of the NACC. Commissioner Brereton tried to head these many hundreds of incoming complaints off at the pass, by writing to the Inspector General and attempting to categorise this factual information dissemination as "spam" (one assumes in an attempt to weaken the validity of incoming complaints) (foi credit and thanks: Kangaroo Court)

We have just heard in Senate Estimates that the Attorney General's Department and Commissioner Brereton got a draft copy of the Inspector of the NACC's review of the multiple investigations Brereton was involved in weeks ago.

He is still required to appear as resignation is effective from July - hearing is supposed to be tomorrow from around 4.30pm..

The day before he was due to appear at Senate Estimates for the first time ever following a successful Greens motion in the Senate. TIMING.

🚨NACC commissioner Paul Brereton has resigned, the anti-corruption commission has announced nacc.gov.au/news-and-media…

We have just been advised that Commissioner Brereton has resigned from the NACC.

Labor just gave the Jesuit religious pedophile organization $4.3M per year to supply services to "prevent child sexual abuse". The RC into Child sexual abuse found the Jesuits had shielded pedophile priests and failed to report crimes. Labor is now funding pedophiles.

In an ironic act of secrecy, an FOI request by The Australia Institute has exposed how the Attorney General’s Department deliberately avoided scrutiny of the government’s bungled attempt to change the nation’s FOI laws. 📺 Senator @DavidShoebridge at Senate Estimates #auspol

NT prisons are 80% funded by the Commonwealth and not just missing their "closing the gap" targets but getting catastrophically worse - the Attorney General's Department admits the "trend has not been towards improvement" but don't worry the AG has written a letter...

@strangerous10 Utopia could never capture the full absurdity!

It gets more absurd. turns out the Secretary had a meeting about this unusual "direction"—but apparently never asked who actually gave the direction.🤨 Shoebridge: “It was like a hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil meeting.” 💥

David Shoebridge has unloaded on AG Dept Sec Kath Jones who can’t explain a “direction” to delay release of FOI “til the min bef. Estimates started”🙄 Jones retreats to blaming “junior officers”Shoebridge “Hang these jnr officers out to dry…is that what you’re doing?”🔥 #auspol

I asked the Attorney General's Department how they justify delaying publishing an FOI until 1 minute before Senate Estimates

Asking the Attorney General's office this morning about this outrageous information - they intentionally delayed publishing FOI documents until 1 minute before our Estimates hearing in February commenced so we couldn't ask them about the documents released.
