For 800 people while 64000 simply fly in by aeroplane. Worst economic managers ever!

That’s a lot of $$$

They have to keep these camps open as future internment camps for Australian political dissidents. Remember that island that people who didn't think right were sent to in Brave New World.

Defending the indefensible is what the LNP do.

He may have to defend it in Court

Bring on the Senate estimates hearings this week Paladin imbroglio . I’m all ears auspol

And what of the revelations that apparently Dutton's sister works for Paladin ? :

Get these clowns out of government immediately.

Didn't defend it very well.

Most government bodies federal and state are incompetent at overseeing contracts of any significance e.g Brisbane trains, health data systems - the lists are endless

He defended the expenditure, not the contract. That was done by public servants without any Ministerial involvement and no tender. question asked and not replied to was Is there any involvement by PNG Officers of the State. Kick backs and the Kangashack is about tax arrangements

Private tender... A.k.a. cooking the books for mates.

PaladinAffair

Sounds legitimate... NOT !!!

Well, it’s either that or quitting 🤷🏾‍♂️

“Due process” .. awards a multi hundred million $ contract to a tin shed .. amazing
