10 things Greens Senators uncovered during estimates

Your Greens Senators pushed the Government hard during recent Senate Estimates hearings. Here’s ten things we uncovered:

1. According to the Liberals, for profit schools = bad, for profit preschool & TAFE = fine
2. Taxpayer money was invested in Adani-backed Myanmar coup
3. If you want a visa to Australia, be a sports star or a billionaire
4. The AFP doesn’t know if they’re training human rights abusers 
5. Government doesn’t care about possible conflicts of interest
6. First Nations wishes on water buybacks are being ignored
7. Reuning children with families is not a priority
8. There’s little care for people stuck in lockdown living paycheck to paycheck
9. AFP can’t confirm number of sexual assault allegations relating to Parliament
10. No plan to follow international advice to phase out coal, oil and gas

We’ll keep asking the questions and fighting for answers.
