Shadow Water Minister Tony Burke has accused the Prime Minister of leading a 'cover up' over a 2017 water purchase deal from two Queensland
properties owned by Eastern Australia Agriculture. It was later revealed its parent company had been based in the Cayman Islands, a known tax haven.

Remember all the ridiculous $$$ paid by Labor for water buy backs when they were in government
Will this include all purchases? Penny Wong’s purchases?
And the inquiry will find that the Liberal party used the same company which Labor used following a tender process. The company was already approved for water buy backs. If the company was so dodgy, then why did Labor use them? There is nothing going on here
This whole thing makes me sick there are those who are making money out of this ridiculous set up yet farmers struggle to get a fair go sometimes having to run theirs farms at a lower yield because of this stupidity
And Penny Wong?
yep...............more politiking............
Every day it becomes clearer why the LNP wanted current sitting members exempt from any sort of ICAC
Would that mean Penny Wong will get done in this inquiry for choose a dodge company to do the buyback, please explain billshortenmp and AustralianLabor ? auspol
But he can’t give a straight answer on anything else
But won’t be taking the inquiry back to 2008 when labor were in charge of it. Why not Shorten to scared what would be uncovered regarding Penny Wong and Tony Burke handling of it
Bit early to be jumping sharks Little Bill? Hasn’t it already been referred to the auditor general? Man whose told as many fibs as you should be careful launching enquiries. AskAlbo Laborlies Littlebillyliar
considering that's the problem with AustralianLabor wishy washy no conviction whatsoever
Good, Remember where it all started “Rudd Labor Govt”
And All the other Suspect Contracts by the LNP
