My latest article in The Shot After spending obscene amounts of taxpayer's money on luxury travel, office refurbishments and airfares from their homes to their Canberra office, I examine the high price Australians have paid so far for an impotent #NACC . theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

Here's @RonniSalt. "The NACC: The high price you pay for corruption" theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

Here's me. "Australia is manufacturing explosives for Israel’s atrocities" theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

#Segal ‘s BL sits slumped hunched forward, eyes downcast to the questioner #Shoebridge , a blocking mechanism. Closed body position, reduces the size of the body making it a smaller target, out of one’s depth, defensive. Fear of attack. Feigns submission. #Senateestimates

In a week where Australians have debated major tax reforms and grappled with the disaster of the NACC, @SenSHenderson sits in Senate Estimates looking like she's about to launch a wellness podcast for day-drinking mums who've given up on life, and argues about . . . . . the score for Israel at Eurovision This crippling issue of national importance took up almost fifteen minutes of Estimates time

In its 3 years of operation, the NACC claims to have been involved in 11 successful corruption convictions. The reality is that 10 of those 11 were investigations started by the previous ALEIC and investigated by the ALEIC. In other words, they were investigations the NACC inherited. To date, the NACC has cost Australian taxpayers approximately $220 million. It has received over ~ 7,620 referrals of corruption. It has already had 3 formal investigations commenced against it by the NACC Inspector General. It has paid out over $10.5 million in salary packages to its top 5 executives, (including Paul Brereton) spent in excess of $10 million on office leases, refurbishments and parking spaces in 5 separate locations around Australia, racked up over $3.5 million in airfares, accommodation and sundry travel costs internationally and across Australia, produced several hundred of something called "presentations" around Australia and overseas - and this massive, bureaucratic behemoth called the National Anti-Corruption Commission "with teeth" has so far delivered: 1 conviction. Zero public hearings. .

Although this year's travel figures are yet to be released, we can engage in a bit of educated supposition and average out the two previous year's costs of $1.1 million and $1.4 million and put down an approximate figure of travel costs for the 2025-26 year of $1.25 million. So by the end of June this year, the NACC will have racked up over $3.7 million in travel costs. Yes, you read that right. If you're interested, here's a small peek at just some of the costs that contributed to taxpayers forking out these astonishing amounts. 👇🏽 While you're reading, keep reminding yourselves that to date the NACC has produced: 1 successful conviction in its own right Zero public hearings

And if you're wondering what Commissioner Paul Brereton's involvement was in the delay on investigating the Robodebt allegations, it's hard to tell given the amount of domestic and international travel he took during the time the Robodebt decision was being delayed. While the Robodebt decison was in abeyance, Commissioner Paul Brereton was busy in Vienna, Austria and Atlanta, USA and also, Hong Kong. You'll also note a decent amount of taxpayer funded travel for Commissioner Brereton to commute between Sydney and Canberra, even though the NACC's own statement claims that the Commissioner is "based in Canberra".

Why did it take so long for the NACC to say they wouldn't be doing anything about Robodebt? It's hard to say but for one thing, the NACC was busy racking up $1.1 million in travel costs in its first year of operation. It appears, that while the Robodebt investigation was of no importance, the NACC staff were however, very busy undertaking 124 separate 'presentations' around Australia and overseas. Not sure what exactly 'presentations' are in this sense, but they certainly accounted for a lot of air fares and accommodation. 1 conviction. Zero public hearings.

But it gets better. Now don't forget, the NACC has in its almost 3 years of operation, managed to obtain 1 conviction it its own right. But in case you're wondering what people are doing there, the NACC does have a Commissioner (the recently resigned Paul Brereton) and 3 Deputy Commissioners and a CEO. The NACC has an approx staff of 220, but those 5 individuals at the top take in a combined salary package of just over $3.5 million a year. In the 3 years of its operations, those 5 individual's salary packages have cost the taxpayers $10.6 million, or $10,671,900 to be precise. 1 conviction. Zero public hearings. .

But let's not forget that besides the head office in Canberra, the NACC also set up offices in Brisbane (where for some reason the CEO is based), Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. And you'll be thrilled to know the NACC's Melbourne offices, which were set up to provide office space for the one Melbourne based Deputy Commissioner, were brought up to scratch at a cost to taxpayers of ~$1.3 million Or $1,271,520 to be precise

Almost 3 years ago, on July 1, 2023 the much anticipated National Anti-Corruption Commission began its operations. Promised to the Australian public by Anthony Albanese as a corruption commission "with teeth", the NACC also took over the operations of the previous federal integrity body, the Australian Commission for Law Enforcement Integrity (ACLEI). When the NACC took over, they also shifted headquarters approx 1.1 kms away. But even though it cost taxpayers $789,913 to shift out, the shiny new NACC was ready for operation. They were ready and raring to go.

Who would like to know what the #NACC has been busy doing for the past 3 years? Since the NACC's inception on 1 July 2023, how many successful convictions have they investigated in their own right? One But they have been busy - just not with what you're thinking #moretocome

It's hush money being paid to ECAJ so they stay compliant, come to heel and don't embarrass the fed government The more they're paid, the less ruckus they'll make over the next few years Just imagine the level of whining we'd have to endure without it x.com/DavidShoebridge/status…

If you're wondering how the recently resigned #NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, spent his time in his $800,000 p.a job, at least some of it was dedicated to writing to the Inspector General about some individual called, Ronni Salt's, twitter activities. After the first #robodebt decision failure, we encouraged people to exercise their democratic right to complain about that decision to the Inspector General of the NACC. Commissioner Brereton tried to head these many hundreds of incoming complaints off at the pass, by writing to the Inspector General and attempting to categorise this factual information dissemination as "spam" (one assumes in an attempt to weaken the validity of incoming complaints) (foi credit and thanks: Kangaroo Court)
