The former foreign minister joined the board of Palladium, which Labor says benefitted from her international aid policy decisions.

"Palladium itself has said that she has been appointed in part, for example, for her extensive network of global contacts," she said.

Labor said Palladium currently had contracts worth in excess of $500 million with the Department of Foreign Affairs., the Government's longstanding aid delivery organisation, and opened up the foreign aid budget to private contractors such as Palladium. "It isn't sufficient for either Christopher Pyne or Ms Bishop to say, 'I think I'm complying and that is the end of the matter'."

She breached common decency when accepted free dinners in NY for funneling Aus tax payers money onto the corrupt personal expense account of a war criminal otherwise known as The Clinton Foundation.

As like Pynne, why do these organisations think Bishop will have any leverage with a PM who detests her, a cabinet that thinks she is a backstabbing show pony and party that is glad she is gone. Most LNP members would not return her call.

ah yes another example of how women politicians are so much better than men, show me the money, rofl.

So does Poodle Payne’s new job too

pigs at the trough.

Of course it does. There is a revolving door between vested interests and the Government cc: Greenpeace

No tricks.' I still can't get over her train wreck appearance on Q and A years ago when she replied to a 'knowledge of' question from Tanya Pillberserk with - 'well it's in all the newspapers'. The audience are still laughing. And she thought she could be PM! Networks would have to be mad... her expense account will be astronomical.... and no one will watch the treacherous stick insect... auspol

Labor prepares to back Coalition's $158b tax cut packageLabor MPs have returned to Canberra following their election loss with a warning to new leader Anthony Albanese that the party's position on the tax package is depriving it of political oxygen. Morrison needs to stick to all or nothing, and let silly Labor and the cross bench parasites carry the can. 👨‍🌾 Totally. And it will bite them on the bum at the next election I would benefit from it, but I would prefer they not pass any of it than pass all of it.
