Mark Dreyfus MP

The Morrison-Joyce Government is now refusing to commit to keeping its 2019 election promise to introduce a national anti-corruption commission.  

Today the Government’s long promised Religious Discrimination Bill has finally been introduced into Federal Parliament.

The Morrison-Joyce Government must abandon its attempts to force the establishment of a rushed and inadequate Senate inquiry into its Religious Discrimination Bill.

This Prime Minister never takes responsibility and always blames others for his own failures. Now Mr Morrison is trying to blame Labor for him failing to even bring legislation to Parliament to establish a Commonwealth anti-corruption commission.  

Labor warmly welcomes Professor Hilary Charlesworth’s election to the International Court of Justice.

Senate Estimates has confirmed taxpayers are footing the bill for yet another Morrison-Joyce Government Minister’s defamation case, this time for Michael Sukkar.

The Prime Minister’s promise of extra funding to fight domestic violence has been exposed as yet another heartless con.

Former Attorney-General Christian Porter knowingly appointed a full-time lobbyist to the body that reviews Government decisions and appointed another person who made clear he did not want the appointment.

Labor welcomes today’s decision of the ACT Court of Appeal that the trial of Bernard Collaery must be predominantly held in open court. 

A Senate inquiry has heard damning evidence about the impact of Scott Morrison move to cloak National Cabinet in secrecy – his latest arrogant attack on democracy and the public’s right to know.
