Sitting around drinking Coffee and thinking no way I can be sacked. Public service yeah it needed the extra 30,000 Public Servants to get the work done. BS. LNP sack them all
This is very worrying !These beaurocrats have not kept important expenditure records up to date and there don't appear to be adequate checks and balances. This sloppy negligence should result in instant dismissal.
In private enterprise someone would be sacked. Sadly we have to live with the mediocracy of government departments. Bet the head gets a bonus each year. Senator Wong please shut up!
Hence why the government excluded themselves from the “misinformation” policy. If you’re in government or part of the controlled media, post whatever you like and who cares if the info is out of date, we accept no responsibility.
Doesn't matter how many staff are thrown on a TASK, the more, the more bludging and typical govt uselessness, no pay for performance.... just pay for attendance.
It took 8 mins from a report of an under sight to it getting noted as an actionable item!! Imagine if it took a plumber 8 minutes to observe a leaking hose and deciding to rectifying it. Or an electrician 8 minutes to observe a short circuit and deciding to switch off the mains This is why govt sucks the big ones...they are not capable of a simple acknowledgement that there's a problem and make an immediate and final decision to fix it
Very good question David, thank you. I am thinking that perhaps we have too many public servants, and that this leads to a diffusion of responsibility. Our government is too big, although I’ve no doubt many public servants do an excellent job. One of the respondents baulked at the idea of doing an audit, despite giving assurances of ensuring up-to-date information. This harks back to your question: who is responsible, and what processes are in place to ensure that information is up-to-date? The conclusion was somewhat wish-washy, but at least they were, for the most part, reasonably affable. It will be interesting to see what information is provided to you, in notice. Speaking of which, there should be somewhere on the website where we can read those submissions. Thanks for all your work, David.
insane...it is not that i am after the limelight...it is that you are messing up so bad that when i asked simple questions you can NOT answer them. do not change Mr. Fawcett.
What a complete joke,typical for this current government and the very expensive Civil servants currently doing such a not so stellar job in what they are supposed to being paid to do.- GO LABOR
People rely on the thousands of public servants we pay (very highly) to keep all public websites up to date. Unacceptable. Maybe take some resources off the internal comms or DEI teams to do this?
The chief of these muppets says she is going to "double the effort". The trouble is two times zero is still zero. It's time to start the sackings because there's about $2 million per year arranged on that bench without a single cent of value.
I just checked out there sanctions page .. Its not dated. And to say it is the most basic of pages is an understatement... Maybe if some heads rolled the supposed public servants might do what they're paid by the public to do... Disgraceful!
I have another one for you - the health Departement's information about how Mpox can be transmitted is not current any more either. The New variant is transmittable through simple human Touch and possibly even through droplets via air
The HSU, a union for health workers in the public health, aged care, ambulance, disability care, community health, medical imaging, pathology, and private health sectors in NSW and the ACT. In addition, the HSU covers workers in Aboriginal Medical Services in NSW, ACT and QLD." is openly advertising extra super for female applicants for multiple positions, is this not against the fair work act and gender pay equality act?
Give this man a senior post in government. All present seem unable ( collectively) to answer One question properly. Don't hear much from ms Wong Relying on her underlings without much success.
Come on senator , don’t ask hard questions. !!!!!! they will never tell the plebs what’s really going on, how dare you ask a reasonable question…. can’t wait to hear the spin wrong regurgitates. Thanks you for challenging them.
They had to quickly take down the photos and videos of the Ukraine military which showed the insignias of the SS and other battalions linked to AH regime.
Good question Maybe they don’t want the people to know How about how much money has been sent to help them when we could be helping our own ! Dodging - scared to lose your job and not answering the questions Shame on you - sack em all - we pay their wages
And that 😂 he said and that “ Yeah we do it and that “ What the ? 😂 Where did these ones go to school 😊😂 A e Ye um na oo What are we watching A Utopia skit 😊

We need to drain the swamp, before we drown.
Bunch of inept and corrupt muppets!
bring back the MUPPET SHOW instead of question time NObody watches
These people are paid for doing less than nothing. All they do is damage!
DEI
Absolutely pathetic from the Govt!! They don’t even get the point of the question asked!!
In private enterprise someone would be sacked. Sadly we have to live with the mediocracy of government departments. Bet the head gets a bonus each year. Senator Wong please shut up!
She is in love with herself .
Incompetence and bureaucrats go hand in glove
Hence why the government excluded themselves from the “misinformation” policy. If you’re in government or part of the controlled media, post whatever you like and who cares if the info is out of date, we accept no responsibility.
THEY ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER - MAFIA
Exactly
Great work ,senator,keep up the pressure!
Watching the DFAT Secretary bumble her way through your questioning reminds me of a Secret Service agent struggling to holster her firearm!
She was no secret service agent she was DEI agent
Labor government caught asleep at the wheel! Sack the head of the department.
Avoid and evade. That`s their answer.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry
If the Australian public knew what was really happening in Ukraine there would be hell to pay.
And our taxpayers money by the $$billions for trafficking!!
Doesn't matter how many staff are thrown on a TASK, the more, the more bludging and typical govt uselessness, no pay for performance.... just pay for attendance.
People not doing their job. Again
they dont work for us they are a reg'' corporation on the USSSEC in NYC......
How much are we paying these public servants? Time to recruit more workers and less executives, so the work gets done.
DFAT- we rely on others to nudge us when we screw up
The phrase, Arse from Elbow? comes to mind
Well done senator
Get James Paterson to sort them out.
Civil service vacillation at its best. When you’re on a super comfortable salary and have great job security, details aren’t that important.
Better call the E-Safety commissioner…
Oh wait, misinformation only exists when it doesn’t tow the designed narrative.

There needs to be a New law TRUTH IN ADVERTISING! AND IT SHOULD COVER GOVERNMENT, POLITIC'S, AND PARTIES/ ELECTION PROMISES!
Her assurance she offers, certainly doesn’t assure me they are honest, pathetic bunch of liars

This must be frustrating for conscientious politicians, like David Fawcett.Penny Wong,on the other hand ,doesn't seem concerned!
What a complete joke,typical for this current government and the very expensive Civil servants currently doing such a not so stellar job in what they are supposed to being paid to do.- GO LABOR
So he should be sacked!hey lied and keep lying! Just spending our taxes and we don’t need to know just keep working ,paying and shut up.
Great job. They do need an audit
People rely on the thousands of public servants we pay (very highly) to keep all public websites up to date. Unacceptable. Maybe take some resources off the internal comms or DEI teams to do this?
I didn't know a new series of Utopia was on the go!!
The chief of these muppets says she is going to "double the effort". The trouble is two times zero is still zero. It's time to start the sackings because there's about $2 million per year arranged on that bench without a single cent of value.
Is there a legitimate reason there is always a minister at this inquiries?
to stop the govt agency telling stuff that the government does not want said
To shut it down if they say too much.
In this case the buck stops with her, n'est pas? And she doesn't have any clue. A cross ❌ breed between Kamala and Brandon 😮👹🖤
Our foreign affairs office is in disarray.
Have you ever notice all the time that Penny Wong always has her arms crossed. She also does it in parliament.
I just checked out there sanctions page ..
Its not dated. And to say it is the most basic of pages is an understatement...
Maybe if some heads rolled the supposed public servants might do what they're paid by the public to do...
Disgraceful!
They are like some school kids with D grades. How come they have such important jobs?
End ALL DEI placements...
No confidence in any websites! Internal processes are incompetent!!! Someone is getting paid for being incompetent!!!
Really impressed with the no good answer
Would ''obtuse" be an appropriate word
Do they ever know anything?????
No duedilligence in this government in the past 3 years - we can't trust them any more at all 😢😢😢
Good job.
Bet their lunch meetings are up to date and paid for! Wonder if they are that behind when it comes to buying the right personal shares😅
Jan Adams salary $943,440
What !!? 900k for doing what. Outrageous how these bureaucrats get paid.
I have another one for you - the health Departement's information about how Mpox can be transmitted is not current any more either. The New variant is transmittable through simple human Touch and possibly even through droplets via air
Isn’t most public government financial data automatically updated?!
The HSU, a union for health workers in the public health, aged care, ambulance, disability care, community health, medical imaging, pathology, and private health sectors in NSW and the ACT. In addition, the HSU covers workers in Aboriginal Medical Services in NSW, ACT and QLD."
is openly advertising extra super for female applicants for multiple positions, is this not against the fair work act and gender pay equality act?
These are the people running Australia..
Does anyone have their eye on the ball?
When do we get rid of these incompetent overpaid echo chambers. 30% reduction of staff is needed.
And what did you say we pay these people for? To keep information from Australians whose money I hope they remember they are using.
Obviously getting paid and not dong their job. Sack them.
Take on notice, here here
WHY DO THEY GET PAID?? A WASTE of TAX PAYERS Money. ENOUGH. This is Beyond a Joke how they treat the Tax payers. Its NOT Funny. YES MINISTER STUFF.
Give this man a senior post in government. All present seem unable ( collectively) to answer One question properly. Don't hear much from ms Wong
Relying on her underlings without much success.
WTF?
That’s a new one. What is the question?
This country is in such a mess .there's so many of these idiots trying to justify their jobs
Utopia!
Come on senator , don’t ask hard questions. !!!!!!
they will never tell the plebs what’s really going on, how dare you ask a reasonable question….
can’t wait to hear the spin wrong regurgitates.
Thanks you for challenging them.
Hypocrisy
They had to quickly take down the photos and videos of the Ukraine military which showed the insignias of the SS and other battalions linked to AH regime.
Paid to do what??? Oh Minister! It's nice to be popular with the staff! But ?
Good question
Maybe they don’t want the people to know
How about how much money has been sent to help them when we could be helping our own !
Dodging - scared to lose your job and not answering the questions
Shame on you - sack em all - we pay their wages
What a joke these clowns are. Mr Trump drain this swamp
Uh, well, um
Time for an 'Elon' house clean 👍
They have there mate's do it all.
Who would you know?

And that 😂 he said and that
“ Yeah we do it and that “
What the ? 😂
Where did these ones go to school 😊😂
A e Ye um na oo
What are we watching
A Utopia skit 😊
1 year old outdated information. Not good enough.
A level of useless that is hard to comprehend
Misinformation, Disinformation and.....
No-information.
Lying by ommission.
F
Clown show! How many times does the Senator have to ask the same question
You cannot get good staff for only $300-$900 per year!
We given so little to Ukraine it’s embarrassing to even update the funding we have, btw why’s our embassy not open there yet ?
And the government's forced evey one looked up.
So they don't do there jobs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Looks like “INCOMPETENCE” to me , just sayin’ .
