David Pocock vs Canberra’s Lobbyland Machine | Scam of the Week
Scam of the Week: From the sports field to the Senate chamber, lobbyists are winning.
Independent Senator David Pocock has been kicked out of the Parliamentary Sports Club after calling out gambling sponsors. Labour’s Don Farrell gives a jaw-dropping answer about genocide and the IDF. Deloitte is billing taxpayers for nearly half a million for a report containing fabricated quotes. What about whistleblower David McBride’s Supreme Court challenge? It was rejected.
Meanwhile, Rex Patrick reveals the government spent $600,000 to hide Snowy Hydro’s cost blowout, while the Department for Parliamentary Services refuses to answer advance questions. Welcome to Lobbyland, where transparency goes to death and incompetence goes both ways.
