CSIRO - Senate Estimates I am shocked that the CSIRO came so unprepared to Senate Estimates when I gave them my questions in advance. For an organisation who claims to have been studying climate science for 60 years, their responses were truly embarrassing. I will prepare a more detailed response in the next few days, but to be clear, the government should not be relying on the CSIRO’s climate division for advice on climate science. | Senator Malcolm Roberts

At a recent Senate Banking Inquiry I spoke with Michael Lawrence, Chief Executive Officer of the Customer Owned Banks Association. I know that many of our supporters hold the belief that more regulation will bring the banks under control. The truth is that the banks will always have smarter lawyers than the government. Regulation becomes a barrier to entry of new or small players wanting to compete with the big banks. At the same time, the big banks do whatever they want with only the occasional

At Senate Estimates I asked the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) about their input into Labor’s Combating Misinformation and Disinformation Bill. Both ACMA and the Minister claim the bill will retain the democratic right to freedom of speech and freedom of political expression. I don't believe them. The coercive threat of future government action on tech companies will definitely restrict Australians' political expression. How can this basic human right be retained when the g

During the May/June Senate Estimates hearings, I asked the Department of Health and Aged Care to clarify their role with the Department of Home Affairs in censoring social media posts. Home Affairs indicated it relied upon the Department of Health to identify social media posts that 'contravened Facebook/Meta's guidelines'. This, of course, is just more dodging of responsibility as the agency trampling the fundamental rights of speech. Although it's government doing the censoring, they give the

Under the Black Coal Award there's no category for casuals because casuals are not allowed to be employed under the Black Coal award. The Board confirmed that they do not check which category a coal miner works when calculating long service entitlements,

ASIC and Senate Lock Horns Over Accountability Earlier this year the Senate failed to pass my proposal for confidential document discovery.

I asked CSIRO whether this plan is being updated and what lessons have been learned. I also pressed CSIRO on their handling of live viruses—rabies, Ebola, and others—and sought assurances that Australia’s highest-security facility will never repea

She refers to these measures as part of a tightening phase.

Meanwhile the States and the Federal ALP are spending money like it is play money. This spending acts against the R

For those following my Senate Estimates posts, it’s become clear that the Albanese Government is 'stage managing' the Estimates process to the point where getting answers has become nearly impossible.

The first agency to be called will be the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). W

Why hasn't ASIC used the Corporations Act to protect her? Why was the matter referred elsewhere when ASIC has direct responsibility under Part 9.4AAA? Will ASIC reopen case CAS-94551 and prosecute for whistleblower retaliation? ASIC couldn’t, or wouldn’t answer, taking every question on notice. It’s clear that right

Despite urgent Senate warnings in August, The Albanese Labor Government allowed telcos to proceed with the disastrous 3G shutdown, leaving over 1 million critical devices at risk. While other countries like France delayed until 2028, our government chose telco profits over public safety.

During this round of Senate Estimates, I sought clarity on how the Indigenous Procurement Policy (IPP) actually works. There’s been a lot of confusion—does the government require contracts over $7.5 million to go exclusively to Indigenous businesses? After questioning officials, the answer is clear: it doesn’t. The policy doesn’t award contracts based on race. For large contracts delivered in Australia, companies must meet minimum Indigenous participation targets. That can be through employment,
