Australia’s broadcast media regulator is conducting less than half the number of investigations it was just five years ago - while the time it’s taking to complete investigations has blown-out more than five-fold.

Media “regulator” ACMA has secretly changed its methodology giving the appearance that complaints from the public have crashed to all-time lows. They’ve actually surged by over a third.

The Department of Prime Minister & Cabinet hand-balled $41,000 illegally paid to a senior official to another department because of an unnamed “potential conflict”, it is alleged.

Richard Colbeck’s aged care regulator gave Newmarch House the green-light to keep operating despite - after 2020’s deadly Covid-19 outbreak - it failing over 80 per cent of its safety standards.

Department of Finance Secretary Rosemary Huxtable wasn’t the “decision maker” who approved the department’s waiving of a $41,000 debt to a senior public official, her department has claimed.

The Federal Government was warned waiving senior official’s $41,000 debt was likely illegal and the opposite of the “many examples” of recovering “Centrelink overpayments”. It fully waived the debt anyway.
