Today the Inspector confirmed both — and dropped her investigation only because he resigned. A permanent rule change has followed. That's what accountability journalism is for. Now hopefully the NACC can get on with the job Australians need it to do.

NACC THREAD: In Sep '25 I revealed NACC chief Paul Brereton was secretly consulting for a defence body he was meant to scrutinise — something his deputies/the govt knew nothing about. I also obtained the former AG's letter proving he'd been warned not to before he took the job.

I am officially nominating Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) for the Nobel Peace Prize. No President in History has ended the same war so many times. Our Dear Leader has ended the war with Iran at least 38 times by CNN’s count. No President has ever done this before. And he is nowhere near finished ending it. It’s a record worthy of the Nobel committee’s recognition. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Tax fraud by businesses is far worse than NDIS fraud, yet we hear about NDIS "rorts" all the time. More on this soon.

Spot on from @canberratimes There is no excuse for the govt to keep piling unsustainable levels of debt on students. Labor know Scott Morrison’s Job Ready Graduates program is broken - they said so when in opposition - but have now had more than four years to fix it. The Albanese govt need to hurry up and get it done. canberratimes.com.au/story/9297941/…

Unlike other AUKUS signatories, Australia hasn’t undergone a transparent review of its obligations under AUKUS. We are cutting essential services in other sectors whilst paying more and more to extend the life of outdated hardware, all while awaiting submarines that might never arrive. At what point will the government recognise that an independent review is necessary? theguardian.com/world/2026/may…

There is no 'severe form' of the Andes Hantavirus. It has a 30-40% fatality rate, and like Ebola which its symptoms are almost identical to it leaves almost everyone who 'survive' it severely disabled and most will die within 5 years. It is ALWAYS extremely severe.

I recently surveyed the Kooyong community regarding property tax incentives; the results were conclusive. 73% of the over 900 respondents backed changes to the capital gains tax discount; even more (85%) endorsed changes to negative gearing. Support for limiting the capital gains tax discount was three times stronger than keeping it as it is. The strongest concerns within our community were intergenerational inequity, housing affordability, and housing supply. These are the challenges the government must address in tomorrow's Budget. afr.com/property/resid…
