Russell Broadbent here, Member for Monash.
I have a lot of unanswered questions about what this Labor government is doing at the moment.
Questions about covid vaccines being contaminated with DNA, the Mis and Disinformation Bill, Social Media Bans for kids under 16, the Digital ID Bill, and the No Jab No Play Policies, just to name a few.
Decisions don’t make sense. Questions aren’t being answered – or even asked!
This is not the Australia that I know and love. When did the simple act of asking a question become so radical? There is a clear and deliberate lack of government accountability.
Since resigning from the Liberal Party, I have rarely been given the opportunity to ask a question in the chamber – once a year if I’m lucky.
So, to make up for lost time, I’ll be asking my own questions at 2pm each day for the next three weeks.
As well as broadcasting them on this channel, I will also be asking the questions through the formal parliamentary process.
Today, my question is to the Prime Minister:
Prime Minister: Why did you rush the MAD Bill through under the cover of the US election, and can you confirm or deny that your government colluded with the Biden Administration to concoct your Mis and Disinformation Bill?
18 months ago, when I was still a member of the Liberal Party, I wrote a letter, which I have linked below, to Mr Dutton making it very clear where I stood on this heinous, state-sanctioned surveillance and censorship Bill.
This MAD Bill just doesn’t make sense but then again, a lot of things aren’t stacking up…
I have a lot of questions which are going unanswered and ignored by this government.
The Australian people are well overdue for some honest answers.
Thanks for listening to Question Time with Russell.
