🚨The Exclusive Brethren was highly active at remote, NT Indigenous polling booths at the last federal election, an inquiry has heard.
Inquiry told Gina Rinehart's private jet ferried Brethren members.
Rinehart rejects the claims as "fake news" ...

This is an extraordinary act of direct foreign interference by the US embassy in domestic Australian politics. The Australian government should publicly respond by rejecting efforts by the US embassy to dictate how Australia legislates for a digital duty of care.
The French don’t muck around.
A short film that rams home the possible outcome of immigrants actually ‘going back to where they came from’
We are so lucky to have the benefits of immigration here. Our country has prospered culturally and economically.
Don’t let some vested interests in division and culture wars convince a few short-sighted and sad racist fcks that immigrants are a drain on our country’s prosperity.
It’s exactly the opposite. We all benefit from immigration.
Read the subtitles, si vous plaît.
Merci beaucoup.
Israel is “warning” Australia not to sanction illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank on Palestinian land. What will they do? Stop selling us weapons tested in a genocide? Let’s start there.
Absolutely mind boggling that Australia's signals directorate has given Israeli phone hacking company Cellebrite secret security clearance to handle sensitive Government data. Our data.
I do not care what Minister Wong’s personal feelings are about Israel’s latest atrocity, I don't care about her outrage, I care about actions. The Government must impose the sanctions and material responses needed. Until they do their words are distractions.
This is concerning.
Like the approach of Brereton when questioned in Senate Estimates about the NACC, so often the attitude of those being questioned on our behalf, officials paid by the Australian public and supposed to serve our interests, is arrogant, evasive, deflective, resentful of accountability, and dismissive of their responsibilities.
Obfuscation, denial, delay and even, at times, outright contempt for the Australian public are too common.
The constant ‘taking on notice’ to avoid answering questions.. One recent interviewee took on notice, that they’d taken on notice, in order to take on notice. It’s disgraceful.
The whole approach needs to change. And heads of departments need to lead and set acceptable standards.
Trust in government and public service is based on respect for, and accountability to those they are supposed to serve.
The Australian public is the ultimate owner, not a nuisance to be avoided, excluded, or in any way denied information.
Extraordinary. Defence’s Celia Perkins says she refused to answer questions on selling off police-used Defence land—despite knowing the answer, coz Shoebridge’s questions are “distressing”🤦♂️
Shoebridge “This isn’t dental surgery! You’re meant to give the answers you know!”🔥 ffs
This police behaviour towards peaceful protesters must never be repeated. Important case in the NSW Supreme Court on Tuesday. Details in the link in this post.
