Could it be that the Paladin original bid was 2nd in line the first time? The failed tender process probably darn near broke them (hence the shack) and with little time left they got the nod? Just a thought

JennaPrice WHY is the reporting actual stories and NOT scare-mongering as the LNP shill it has become? I want answers, not questions.

What actually is 'security for refugees'?

It's hardly an exclusive. Fin Review has been in this all week. ABC Insiders barriecassidy asked Christian Porter about it this morning and Twitterverse has been running this around for what seems like months.

Sounds like last week’s UK no bid ferry contract awarded to a company that had no ferries

Deplorable.

This will be another rat that will bite the Coalition

Tell me. Can a summons be legally delivered to a shack (on Kangaroo Island) without a postal service or street address? Coincidence? Or is this major legal skulduggery? Paladin AusMedia 4Corners leighsales 423milliondollarstTaxPayergone MSM CrookedPeterDutton

Will explore if Karen Dutton (senior employee of Paladin) is related to PeterDutton_MP ?

Either totally INCOMPETENT or CORRUPT ?

You couldnt bet enough $ that its a former copper mate of spud?

Yeah, but Dave Hodgson Paladin's head 'entrepreneur' has got Jesus on the mainline:

deniseshrivell And here is the contract they took down from their website which has been “cleaned”.

Limited tender process if the cost is less than $80K or time is short. Big difference between $80K & the $423m paladin contract. As the “responsible” Minister, Dutton has a case to answer.

How far will you take this ? Or is buried already MSMPresstitutes

Massive massive stench about this story. Media and Opposition need to go HARD. Stinks of Corruption.

Who is reaping the rewards behind the scenes?Which media outlet will chase this up and find out the truth?

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...
