Internal tendering is common practice among state and federal departments. It costs the Australian taxpayer $8.7 billion annually and is also known as rent seeking or closed procurement.
As it should be! I’m working my ass here and these bloody idiots spirited away in a corrupt way millions of taxpayers money. I want my money back!
How much money do the millionaire politicians in parliament have invested in this PO Box company? How much tax do they avoid paying?
About time for this. No tender A shelf company Who gives the approval for this Why are they doing this?
What's Dutton got to hide?

Grilled!!! It was a 400 million dollar contract, no legal tendering process and parliamentary ministers families involved . Please dont minimize this situation lets hope its investigated for corruption.

Small security firm given less than a week to bid for huge Manus Island contractPaladin, which until last week had its head office as a beach shack on Kangaroo Island, was awarded contracts worth up to $423 million to provide security for refugees. Bit late to report this. It's been all over twitter for two days. What has happened to proper journalism in this country? If it takes two days to fact check you need more resources... Or to reassign them. Try harder! Not only late but clearly a little fluff piece trying to limit the fallout from the PaladinAffair. Lots more detail than this article provides, has been available to twitterers for the past couple days. Verifiable sources have details going back to 2017. Thanks anyway. Looking forward to the public announcement of your return to journalism...
