Exclusive: The consulting firm and the Meals on Wheels millions - The Saturday Paper

A private consulting firm handed almost $10 million in aged-care contracts has left providers and the federal government embarrassed after it disabled websites built with taxpayer money, delivered a 13-page final report and issued legal threats.

'Please don't make me sound like a cheap tabloid journalist' - The ...

Late on a Sunday afternoon in mid-February 2021, the media director for then prime minister Scott Morrison phoned a producer for Channel 10’s The Project.

During an interview on the Channel 7 program Spotlight this year, former political staffer Bruce Lehrmann lied about why he lied to his boss over his reason for returning to Parliament House with Brittany Higgins in March 2019. The Seven Network then lied about its interview with Lehrmann – for which it would pay him $130,000 in rent – both to the public and to the Walkley Foundation that shortlisted it for excellence.

The Albanese government has been caught deliberately dropping a critical recommendation from the robodebt royal commission so it could engineer a “positive” response to the final report and avoid scrutiny over a refusal to pursue greater transparency in government. Commissioner Catherine Holmes, a former chief justice of the Supreme Court of Queensland, delivered 57 recommendations in her report to the government on July 7.
