Could not be more proud of @MurrayWatt. He is one of the hardest working people I’ve had the pleasure of working with. His promotion to cabinet is just extraordinary.
Today is three years since Scott Morrison announced a $4 billion Emergency Response Fund.
❌ nothing spent on disaster recovery
❌ no disaster prevention projects built
✅ over $800 million in interest for the government
Happy anniversary Scotty.
An inspiration, a magician on the court, a champion of Wimbledon and the Australian Open – World Number One.
As you climbed to the very top, you lifted us all.
Congratulations to Ash Barty on a magnificent career. 🇦🇺🎾
Even NSW Liberal Premier says Scott Morrison should use his $4.8 billion Emergency Response Fund - the one that's done nothing in 3 years. They can find money for carpark rorts, sports rorts and other rorts, but they lock disaster funds away forever.
Just been briefed on Sth East Qld floods by Qld Emergency Minister @MarkRyanQLD. Lots of rain ahead and possible major flooding across parts of the southeast. PLEASE monitor warnings and take extreme care if on roads. If it’s flooded, forget it.
Labor won’t just sit on disaster funding and rack up interest for the Govt, like Scott Morrison has done. We’ll invest up to $200M per year on disaster readiness, to protect our people, our wildlife and help with skyrocketing insurance premiums. https://t.co/o2Bn61Yuys
Minister Colbeck claims info about a 79 yr old woman jumping off a balcony at Jeta Gardens was obtained ‘illegally’ by the media. Why is the media to blame? #Estimates
BREAKING: Nearly 12,000 older Australians died while waiting for home care packages since July 2020. The Govt expects 7 nursing homes to close in the near future. Less than 1% of nursing homes have received ADF personnel. That’s aged care after nearly a decade of LNP. #Estimates
Last night’s Senate Estimates revealed Scott Morrison’s $4.8 billion disaster fund has STILL not spent a cent on disaster recovery, STILL not started building a single disaster readiness project, but it HAS earned his Government over $800 million in interest.
Stuart Robert is Scott Morrison’s right hand man. He moved his extensive investments to a “blind trust” and he refuses to identify his trustee. Why? I asked about this @crikey_news yarn in #Estimates today. https://t.co/CYoca94I52
