If you had a half ounce of integrity you'd have gotten the gist by now that I'd not approve of Lowe's salary nor do I think 700 Grand+ salaries for heads of departments is acceptable when we have people below the poverty line. Nor do think it moral to have youths prowling the streets at night when they should be sleeping in readiness to go to work in the morning. You're one of those opposing any kind of discipline. You're one of those expressing opposition to a National Service for young unemployed people to gain skills to achieve entry level into the work force.
You're the most answer evading poster on OLO who prefers to dig up posts from the past simply because they suit conditions now for criticism. You never once dug up posts that would prove a poster right at the time of the comments..
It is my view that you're about as undesirable a citizen can be ! My bet is you're a bureaudroid !

I'm not sure the nepotism bothers me anymore than the government of the day (whichever that is) wasting billions in poor policies and foolish spending without any oversight and accountability.

I feel like you're targeting a minor part of a spending problem, when there is a much larger spending problem in general.

It's like you're focusing on trying to save $1 a week
- when the bigger problem is costing $1000 a week.

Should I be glad that something is being done to stop the nepotism?;
Or should I think the whole thing is a limited hangout, and hardly even relevant if one is willing to avoid the bigger spending issues?

Something is starting to stink to high heaven in Canberra, worse smell than a pound of prawns in the hot sun, and its name is Coalition MP Stewart Robert, this now involves 100's of millions of dollars in government contracts for mates of Robert.

Paul1405,
Wise or unwise projects ?

Indy,

NDIS rorting under the Coalition is now legendary, with up to 20% of funds possibly misappropriated. To suspect Stewart Robert of something and worthy of investigation is not unreasonable. In August 2022, Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission chief Michael Phelan estimated that as much as 15 to 20 per cent of the service’s annual budget of close to $30 billion might have been misused. An investigation into the action of Robert may find him innocent of any wrong doing, then again it may not.

NDIS rorting was done by citizens of this Nation , not by its Govt.
The Morrison administration is guilty by association for having Labor supporting bureaudroids mishandling it !
