25.01.2022 663 people have died from COVID-19 in aged care facilities in Australia. My direct question to the Secretary of the Health Department: Were any of these deaths avoidable? The short answer we got: Yes - if the Federal Government had have acted quicker in Victoria.

24.01.2022 1.8 million Australians will be relying on JobSeeker and the Corona supplement when Scott Morrison cuts it by another $100 in December. Story bit.ly/3kimhX3

21.01.2022 Morrison’s September record: a recession, a pension freeze and cuts to JobKeeper and JobSeeker. And still no comprehensive jobs plan...

21.01.2022 No one held back. No one left behind.

20.01.2022 In July, the Prime Minister's $5.2m COVID Commission wanted to spend $12K of taxpayers' money on parking. In September, taxpayers are being charged another $21K. $34K on parking!!!

19.01.2022 Facilitating the return of stranded Australians just doesn't seem to be a priority for Scott Morrison...

19.01.2022 Speaks for itself.

15.01.2022 Vale Susan Ryan AO. Susan dedicated her life to the public service through many different roles. She was the first ACT Labor Senator, the first Labor woman on front bench, the first Labor woman appointed to a ministry and the first Labor woman in federal cabinet.... She led the way and built the path for many others, including myself, to follow. We have so much to thank her for. bit.ly/36c4zRK

15.01.2022 The Morrison Government has voted against displaying the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags inside Parliament House. A sad show of division over unity, especially during NAIDOC Week.

15.01.2022 Just another week of the Morrison Government...

15.01.2022 The Morrison Government doesn’t mind a bit of rorting, pork barrelling or handing taxpayers' money to mates. Now more than ever, we must have a properly resourced audit office. Story bit.ly/3kRc0Sm

12.01.2022 Domestic and family violence impacts individuals, families & our community. Today, we come together to raise awareness and commit to take action to end violence against women. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, call 1800RESPECT. ... We all have a role to play.

12.01.2022 Australia is in a deep recession. And what is the Morrison Government doing to keep food on the table and people in jobs? Ripping crucial support out of the economy by cutting back JobKeeper. Now is not the time for the Government to be withdrawing economic support.

12.01.2022 94% of the over $800 million Building Better Regions Fund went to Coalition held or targeted seats on Scott Morrison's watch. The Budget is going to top up this fund with another $150 million. Every dollar spent is a borrowed dollar. No more rorts, dodgy deals, porkbarelling or money for mates.

10.01.2022 Today, after first saying more could have been done earlier to prevent deaths in aged care facilities, Professor Murphy tried to clarify and claim that the Government did all they could. Well, 663 older Australians in residential aged care have died because of COVID-19 during this pandemic. The Government knew the risks, they knew older Australians in aged care were vulnerable and they didn’t respond quickly enough.

08.01.2022 Heartbreaking evidence from the Jeffries family, who have been stranded in Canada and trying to return since March. They told the COVID Committee that it will cost approximately $50,000 to return home - money they would "much rather put towards [their] son's education."

07.01.2022 Imagine if every Australian was given a private jet and 8 staff to help them find a job. Because that's exactly what Scott Morrison has given to his mate.

06.01.2022 The Morrison Government could've put $250K into home care packages for older Australians... Instead they paid for pencils and paper for a Department looking after DIGITAL leadership and policy. What a waste. ... Story bit.ly/3cQAXL3

06.01.2022 So land valued by the Morrison Government at $3 million - after they paid $30 million !!!!! - is a bargain?!! We need a National Integrity Commission now.

06.01.2022 Evidence heard in today's COVID Committee hearing. Follow me on Twitter for more updates twitter.com/SenKatyG

05.01.2022 I’m heading home to Woden and my Mum’s going to be looking out for me

02.01.2022 Before the Morrison Government starts the hard sell of its budget, it's worth remembering the rorts they'd rather you forget... $102.5 million of taxpayer dollars straight to marginal and targeted seats under the guise of 'community funding'. Worth a read before Tuesday bit.ly/36qU9xu

02.01.2022 Beautiful projections on the National Carillon here in Canberra celebrating NAIDOC week. Always was, always will be.

01.01.2022 The pandemic meant big changes in the way we live our lives. The Morrison Government expects us to follow the health rules and we have. But when it comes to sharing the information and expert advice that led to those rules - the Morrison Government says no. I'll keep seeking full publication of this information that the UK Government provides freely to its citizens.

01.01.2022 Labor called on the Prime Minister months ago to use the government’s RAAF fleet to assist in bringing stranded Australians home. Scott Morrison dismissed it. Now he is flying his former minister around Europe on a private RAAF jet to avoid getting COVID. ... Those still trying to get home have called this utterly appalling
