It’s incredibly obvious that this is a coverup. I am utterly disgusted by the minister and chairman and I am sick to death of these arrogant PUBLIC SERVANTS.

100% He's asking the hard questions and they don't want to answer it . How can they turn up with a lack of information. If they were at school, they'd receive a fail (F)
100% she should be fired. Acting like she’s the teacher in a school playground. She definitely does not have the maturity, intelligence or management skills of neutrality to sit in that chair.
Commissioner Outram should be sacked!! What ineptitude!! He is a waffler!! He has more concern for the criminal illegal immigrants than for the Australian communities in which these convicted criminals are roaming free!! Thank you Senator Patterson for pointing out that his verbiage was NOT the answer to your question. Shame on that Chair! Shame on that Minister!! No wonder we’re in the mess we’re in!!
They have treated this parliamentary inquiry with pure contempt and t he chair is complicit. Deliberately lying to a parliamentary inquiry is a criminal offence, Minister Watt would have advised these public servants to decieve the parliament here and should be charged as an accessory
What concerns to the public is not the 79 with e-bracelet, it’s 73 without.the bracelet ! So funny he had to do them maths on the sense! I can feel the amount of pressure on him especially on his age! They tried to make people to think they had done lots of jobs! These public servants are lack of common sense and lazy! It’s easy to do a breakdown to see what crimes they had committed in these 73 people!
Senator Paterson is on point! When these officials take things on notice they are hiding something. No wonder the public has lost trust in them. Go Senator, stand your ground! We, the people support you.
Not only that they took it on notice and refused to provide the answers at a later date... then the chair involved themselves and helped cover their deception up..., She is evil
What is the point of a senate committee if the senate members cannot question witnesses without the minister and chair interrupting. I applaud you senator for keeping your composure. I think I would have been flipping tables.
Albo s a tyrant. In love with the power. Time to go Albo, you and your Gov are past your use by date. Just obnoxious and rude in Parliament. 5 year old kids act better than you lot in parliament. Think you all need a few stripes with the rattan. Might pull you back into line.
@@seanworkman431 A lot of them only did arts degrees, then progressed through the union. They're good at arguing, talking for hours without actually saying anything and denying responsibility. Most haven't done a real days work in their life!
Well said Senator Paterson!!! You stood your ground! It is so very obvious the whole situation is a cover-up! The australian people are very awake to what is going on. We just witnessed the most outrageous & blatent bias!
Not answering truthfully in this forum is a criminal offence, so which of these public servants will be charged with deliberately deceiving the parliament
The police are more concerned with the privacy of murder3rs and r@pists than the public's safety or answering questions.This IS a cover up! Thank you, Senator Paterson🙏
That's what I was thinking. Shouldn't the security of the Australian public be put before the rights of an illegal immigrant with a criminal record? Chris Bowen is responsible for this. They weren't asylum seekers once they left the safety of Indonesia. They were illegal immigrants and should've been sent back!
Unfortunately for Australia the chairperson is grandstanding to her peers more than seeking the efficient running of her committee. DEI isn't working...
@colinmeehan791 if you watch this live she makes the error of trying to redirect another senator regarding his question and seems to not understand the interchange that was taking place. Senator asks a question, gets refused, asks and presses, she steps in and thinks he shluld ask this of another department. Again no real capacity to navigate the discussions unfolding in front of her. Sad...
Deliberately and knowing corrupting the proper function of the committee. The public servants being questioned have a legal obligation to answer honestly and explicitly, it is a criminal offence for a public servant to decieve or lie under scrutiny, if it can be shown that the minister supporting the public servants have directed them to deceive the parliament he would be charged as an accessory
Another new favourite Senator, great work, keep the pressure on. Wish I could stay that calm and focused like him when he is clearly dealing with incompetent people (including the chair)
Thank you senator Paterson. Seemingly the only person in the entire room willing to point out the emperor has no clothes. Beautiful demonstration of fortitude in the face of adversity. Keep them honest, because it's glaringly apparent to anyone watching, they won't do this themselves.
The Chair should be sacked! HER behavior is outrageous. It’s the job of the chair to ensure that questions (especially those asked with PLENTY OF NOTICE), should be ANSWERED IN FULL AS ASKED! And not the bureaucratic waffling and constantly interrupting and DISRESPECTFUL CHAIR WHO CANT EVEN DO HER JOB! Her job is to SHUT UP and let the questioner ask their questions and hold the government officials ACCOUNTABLE for their work (or lack thereof). The Chair does NOT get to interrupt or challenge the questioner (who asked all of his questions respectfully and patiently) just because the Chair doesn’t like the NATURE of the question and the potential of the answer to embarrass the government for covering up their ineptitude or corruption or inaction - THAT is the whole purpose of the bloody committee! To hold the government ACCOUNTABLE and question their actions/inactions and this Chair CLEARLY is biased, obfuscating and participating in any cover up if she does not insist and/or sanction those on the government’s side from answering the questions AS ASKED AND ONLY AS ASKED and IN FULL! The Chair is clearly incompetent at her job and/or involved in this COVERUP. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CRIMINALS ROAMING OUR COUNTRY UNSUPERVISED! SACK THE CHAIR AND THAT COMMISSIONER!
I don't think the chair is incompetent. The chair knows exactly what she is doing; which is to obstruct senator Paterson whenever he gets close to exposing bureaucratic corruption. I think the chair did her job commendably well. She nearly singlehandedly stopped senator Paterson getting to the truth. The chair seems to be very competent at carrying out the task she has been assigned, which appears to be to cover up the truth no matter what, no matter how absurd her objections appear to be. For these obvious reasons I have to respectfully disagree that the chair is incompetent.
Well done Senator Paterson. Can't answer questions with written notice? Outrageous!!! We are run by clowns. Embarrassing. Australia - You get the leaders you deserve!
The lack of quality in the various public services is on a par to the failing state of society. Senator Patterson is exposing again what’s wrong with Australia’s leadership.
Thank you Senator. Please keep up with clear questioning. I am tired of the deflection from the chair, and disrespect of the ministers and public servants. Keep them accountable.
Thank you for firmly standing your ground. Those people are all absolutely shameful and I hope they'll all be voted out before its too late. Keep up the good work and God bless you, Senator Patterson.
Waffling poppycock, outrageous. The Chair is outrageous in her interruptions and very, very rude to Senator Paterson. There was no answer! Thankyou Senator Paterson for your amazing persistence.
Interesting that the Chair, allowed (impolite - in my view, but she - in this situation - gets to deem what that is or isnt (?)😮) interruption by one of the gentlemen facing of the Senator raising the questions, but blocked him when he attempted to bring the procedure back mindfully to time constraints.
Perhaps Australian citizens need to read up on the powers of the Chair in these forums, and be willing to draw the Chairs to account for where/when apparent 'favouritism' is shown OR also show where the rules/points of order do not work/or are not wielded, in a balanced, judicial (?) manner.
I'm watching this and I consider every person who is called to respond pathetic and cowardly and remind them that they work for the tax payer and they are required and responsile to provide answers.
Thank you Senator Paterson. This is unconscionable. Public servants are guilty by commission or by omission. And the Chair needs to be censored for their constant interjection. Every time you get within coo-ee of the truth the Chair interrupts. This has been going on far too long. 🙏
Plus the chair seemed extremely fascinated by the mind numbingly pointless dribble coming out of the commissioner that she was quite unimpressed when the flow of inane garbage was interrupted. Does she need to be impartial to accept a job like that or just ABC impartial?
Thank you, Senator Patterson for working hard to ensure the safety for all Australians the chair should be sat on the spot you have just as much right to speak your mind as anyone else there. Thanks for your hard work.👏👏
The chair is unaware of her role to ensure the meeting is run efficiently, she takes no charge of the responsibility of those who serve the public unwilling to answer questions that are to the point of national safety and community safety. She obviously is not up to the job of chair, her only reponse was ad hominen.
Keep it up Senator This country needs people like you I apologise for the disrespect that you seem to continuously receive. The standing of your office alone should see you being given clear answers to your questions, let alone the respect you have personally earned by your integrity!
Without people like Senator J.P. we are all stuffed. Even with his persistence, the questions are STILL not being answered. "it looks like a cover up", was what he said and did not say, it IS a cover up. It not only looks like a cover up, but the facts support a cover up for another monumental stuff up
The best defence to any claims of a cover-up would've been "here are the numbers you requested from last week, we had them double-checked for changes first thing this morning, these are accurate as of 6AM today". Think of how many millions of dollars AFP and state police are investing (wasting?) on their IT infrastructure each year.. and these "ifs" buts" and "Mister Senators" are all they can output.
These people are covering up. Public Servants like this bunch are anything but transparent.Period! Just answer Senator Patterson's questions,instead of "beating around the bush"
What has Australia come to? These public servants can't give an honest simple answer to straightforward questions. This buck-passing over and over should be regarded as criminal negligence of their duties. I'm appalled at and disgusted by the evasiveness and unprofessional conduct shown to Senator Paterson, who appears to be the only decent individual in that room. I applaud his integrity.
Some public servants it seems have forgotten that their job isn't to protect and further UN/WEF agendas, but to SERVE THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS AND THE TAXPAYER!!
They can't seriously be concerned about protecting the privacy of sex offenders and murderers, above the safety of Australian citizens. This government will not achieve a second term.
Imagine these people running their own business. The one thing they need to know they don't. "Sorry i sell tyres, but i dont know if ive got any tyres to sell, can i come back to you next week and let you know..."
As a former public servant 152 cases is not a great deal to check up on as their histories would be on file. The chair should be quiet and live in the real world.
All he was asking, 'how many have bracelets? that's it- The public likes to know, 'how many'- not their names or any reference to their identity, just a number. Something is not right about both of these departments and those that run it. Sack them and get other public servants who are interested in not trying to grandstand and hide their incompetence. Tax payers money being used to employ incompetent being in an office of vital importance to the safety and protection of the citizens of Australia.
Sadly most of the people running this country are incompetent or downright malicious towards its citizens, its too late now for anything to be fixed, the bulk of Australians have snoozed through those alarms.
This is information that could be stored in, updated and queried in a second or two from a simple, single spreadsheet. If they have the total number, they have the data aggregated from all the jurisdictions somewhere! Cover up, as the Senator succinctly put it. The minister and chair trying to flip the controversy onto the Senator only highlights the collective deceit he's uncovering
Very disappointed that Sen Patterson did not get the respect & support he is due. The minister should be ashamed of himself as he is NOT looking after the best interests of the people who voted him into office.
Thank you Senator Paterson for holding these bureaucrats accountable. They've operated in a vacuum of accountability, until now. Commissioner Outran should do the honourable thing and resign. The level of contempt he holds for the Australian citizenry is disgraceful. Siding with the criminals, not showing concern for the general public.
She needs to support Paterson and demand the questions are answered. All smoke and mirrors, evasion, lies, deflections…. Criminals. Unfit for purpose. Should be sacked.
Senator Patterson, You have my support. I take exception to the Chair and the lack of cooperation from Border Force. It's the second time I've watched your address with Border Force and can't believe the smudging by the Chair Person and these officials from AFP Border Force. Disrespectful to respond to the Senator.
And what happened to that Day Care sex pervert who worked in 10 fifferent Day Care centre in Brisbane of Queensland who sexual assaulted toddlers. He didn't turn up for his court hearing in 2023. His next court hearing was to be in Jan 2024. Well what happened? Where is he? Is he even in Jail. If so, how long? He should stay in prison forever. The Australian people have a right to know.
They had a week to get the answer ready ! What do they do during all that time ? Instead we get this word salad from the government? what are they hiding ? Thank you Senator for doing a good job. You are the only one in that room...
It's either a cover-up or incompetence, neither looks good. Thank you Senator for having our best interests at heart and being one of the very few people who seem to care. Don't let this go, we need to get to the bottom of this.
They don't consider the public interest, only their Hump Days and Super. I don't think they are aware that Senator Paterson represents the people. Fabulous to see you stick to the point and not withdraw.
This is unacceptable. They don't care about the safety of the community. Enough already. The chairperson is clearly biased. How hard is it to count up crimes previously committed.
Thank you Senator Paterson for standing up so well to this bunch of, really criminal pack of swamp creatures. Outran and The Chair are disgusting. They really cannot bare to be asked questions can they. All the bullies come out to help protect each other.
I as a law abiding citizen want to know who is let into the community and what crimes they have committed. I want to know who allowed this and I want them fired. Also, the "chair" is out of line and needs to step down.
This happens in the US. The bureaucracy does not take its responsibility to provide clear data to the public even in the Senate Estimates where transparency should be paramount. Raising ''privacy issues'' when referring to illegal refugees is absurd. These people are a disgrace. That is not ''unparliamentary language''.
Well done Senator Patterson for holding your line. A simple question, that should have had a simple and immediate answer. The avoidance, excuses, as well as the extremely unprofessional conduct from the ‘chair’ tell it all.
They had opportunity to prepare, chose not to and won't say anything but are appalled that anyone may suggest they are corrupt? Then don't act like you're corrupt and bloody answer the questions! Keeping up with politics today feels like banging your head against a wall.
This incompetence wouldn’t happen in Russia and those criminals would be locked up. Good work Senator. Keep riding them. Murray Watt is a useless windbag.
Senator, we both served and fully aware we follow orders.. the ABF no doubt is the same… supported by the govt.. How funny, the woke way… they attack, they are offended when called out… Well done you give me hope someone’s left in this govt with commonsense….
Love your work James, once your in charge please, please, please sack the lot of these incompetent people and employ ones that can actually answer questions. Flabbergasting that anyone given advanced notice of a question comes unprepared, in the corporate world those people don't last long in their role.

Some public servants it seems have forgotten that their job isn't to protect and further UN/WEF agendas, but to SERVE THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS AND THE TAXPAYER!!
What a hopeless Chair.Watts is no better.
They can't seriously be concerned about protecting the privacy of sex offenders and murderers, above the safety of Australian citizens. This government will not achieve a second term.
Imagine these people running their own business. The one thing they need to know they don't.
"Sorry i sell tyres, but i dont know if ive got any tyres to sell, can i come back to you next week and let you know..."
Well put!
YOUR PAID JOB is to protect private, tax paying citizens, with the exception of Senator Patterson, all of your employment is terminated!!!
As a former public servant 152 cases is not a great deal to check up on as their histories would be on file. The chair should be quiet and live in the real world.
All he was asking, 'how many have bracelets? that's it- The public likes to know, 'how many'- not their names or any reference to their identity, just a number. Something is not right about both of these departments and those that run it.
Sack them and get other public servants who are interested in not trying to grandstand and hide their incompetence. Tax payers money being used to employ incompetent being in an office of vital importance to the safety and protection of the citizens of Australia.
Sadly most of the people running this country are incompetent or downright malicious towards its citizens, its too late now for anything to be fixed, the bulk of Australians have snoozed through those alarms.
Refusing to provide is seen as Refusing to provide
This is information that could be stored in, updated and queried in a second or two from a simple, single spreadsheet. If they have the total number, they have the data aggregated from all the jurisdictions somewhere! Cover up, as the Senator succinctly put it. The minister and chair trying to flip the controversy onto the Senator only highlights the collective deceit he's uncovering
So much tax paid all my life and look at the state of us. I'm done. I don't believe incompetence any more.
I have never watched any senate inquiry where government bureaucrats did not obfuscate.
Well there's a lot of seat squirming going on in this one. Cover up it is. Thanks Senator.
The chair is corrupt, she must be removed.
This makes my blood boil labor and the greens must go
And these overpaid obfuscating inept bureaucrats.
Very disappointed that Sen Patterson did not get the respect & support he is due.
The minister should be ashamed of himself as he is NOT looking after the best interests of the people who voted him into office.
When the mi minisyers are now such arrogant commies who could only care for the demise of their country
Thank you Senator Paterson for holding these bureaucrats accountable. They've operated in a vacuum of accountability, until now. Commissioner Outran should do the honourable thing and resign. The level of contempt he holds for the Australian citizenry is disgraceful. Siding with the criminals, not showing concern for the general public.
If it quacks like a duck, waddles like a duck, it's a duck. This bullshit wouldn't pass the pub test.
What an arrogant and disrespectful chairperson! She needs to grow up and become an adult.
She needs to support Paterson and demand the questions are answered.
All smoke and mirrors, evasion, lies, deflections…. Criminals. Unfit for purpose. Should be sacked.
Senator Patterson,
You have my support. I take exception to the Chair and the lack of cooperation from Border Force.
It's the second time I've watched your address with Border Force and can't believe the smudging by the Chair Person and these officials from AFP Border Force.
Disrespectful to respond to the Senator.
And what happened to that Day Care sex pervert who worked in 10 fifferent Day Care centre in Brisbane of Queensland who sexual assaulted toddlers. He didn't turn up for his court hearing in 2023. His next court hearing was to be in Jan 2024. Well what happened? Where is he? Is he even in Jail. If so, how long? He should stay in prison forever. The Australian people have a right to know.
They had a week to get the answer ready ! What do they do during all that time ? Instead we get this word salad from the government? what are they hiding ? Thank you Senator for doing a good job. You are the only one in that room...
It's either a cover-up or incompetence, neither looks good. Thank you Senator for having our best interests at heart and being one of the very few people who seem to care. Don't let this go, we need to get to the bottom of this.
It's both unfortunately. A cover up of incompetence.
They don't consider the public interest, only their Hump Days and Super. I don't think they are aware that Senator Paterson represents the people. Fabulous to see you stick to the point and not withdraw.
This is unacceptable. They don't care about the safety of the community. Enough already. The chairperson is clearly biased. How hard is it to count up crimes previously committed.
Thank you Senator Paterson for standing up so well to this bunch of, really criminal pack of swamp creatures. Outran and The Chair are disgusting. They really cannot bare to be asked questions can they. All the bullies come out to help protect each other.
I as a law abiding citizen want to know who is let into the community and what crimes they have committed. I want to know who allowed this and I want them fired. Also, the "chair" is out of line and needs to step down.
you are right Senator James Paterson thank you mate 👍👍
150 people and they can't put them in a spreadsheet and have the answers in under an hour? Our government is totally useless.
Right???? It's a bloody circus!
They can. They choose not to share the details.
Trust me its not useless. Its called CORRUPT BEYOND BELIEF..
So are the "independent bureaucrats"
And over paid
The Chair is an absolute joke.
Thank you Senator Paterson, keep up the good politics!
This happens in the US. The bureaucracy does not take its responsibility to provide clear data to the public even in the Senate Estimates where transparency should be paramount.
Raising ''privacy issues'' when referring to illegal refugees is absurd. These people are a disgrace. That is not ''unparliamentary language''.
Its a coverup. Clear as a bell. If the officials CANT or WONT give up the figures, maybe they should vacate for somebody more capable.
Well done Senator Patterson for holding your line. A simple question, that should have had a simple and immediate answer. The avoidance, excuses, as well as the extremely unprofessional conduct from the ‘chair’ tell it all.
Screw their privacy, it’s the safety of all Australians that’s more important
Thank you Senator Paterson for your effort and time to stand up for all Australians peoples.!°❤🙏
Total cover up, they don't care. Thank you Senator for your work in trying to help keep these "public servants" accountable.
They had opportunity to prepare, chose not to and won't say anything but are appalled that anyone may suggest they are corrupt? Then don't act like you're corrupt and bloody answer the questions! Keeping up with politics today feels like banging your head against a wall.
Australia for Australians. Government can move to NZ or Tasmania! WE dont need them! WE do not need digital ID!
Tasmania is a part of Australia.
We need Reform.
Honest Reform.
@@bella95 So is Canberra allegedly
Apparently Klaus Schwab and his cronies would like all our I.D.'s and bank accounts in their control.
@@nameRICHARD More for USA and UK than Australia.
Thank you for standing your ground. These are not Australian citizens.
This incompetence wouldn’t happen in Russia and those criminals would be locked up. Good work Senator. Keep riding them. Murray Watt is a useless windbag.
In Russia, being locked up would be the least of their worries 🦻
Murray watts is a slime bag.. he is so arrogant and spiteful he is difficult to listen to.. it is definitely a coverup for government incompetence
Senator, we both served and fully aware we follow orders.. the ABF no doubt is the same… supported by the govt..
How funny, the woke way… they attack, they are offended when called out…
Well done you give me hope someone’s left in this govt with commonsense….
The corruption is breathtaking.
Thanks Senator.
You are smarter than your age may suggest, Senator Paterson. Impressive.
Good to see you standing up for our public interest senator Paterson. We truly appreciate your effort
Love your work James, once your in charge please, please, please sack the lot of these incompetent people and employ ones that can actually answer questions. Flabbergasting that anyone given advanced notice of a question comes unprepared, in the corporate world those people don't last long in their role.
What a Disgrace the behaviour by the Chair and the ABF Chief, privacy is just BS these are criminals!
And the chair of the meeting absolutely allowed the others to interrupt you! Good effort centre you have my 100% support
