Accenture paid him $35 million. Now he sits at Labor’s Cabinet table. And it’s all legal. $35 million. That’s what Accenture reportedly paid Andrew Charlton for his consulting firm in 2020. He stayed on as one of their managing directors. Two years later, Labor parachuted him into Parramatta. Today he’s Cabinet Secretary and Assistant Minister for the Digital Economy, sitting at the centre of the same government handing Accenture roughly $300 million a year in contracts. The same Accenture behind the BOM website disaster. $31 million contract, extended nine times, finished at $78 million. Same Accenture that got rewarded after the stuff-up with new deals from Defence, the AEC, and yes, another government website. Now, let’s be fair. I checked Charlton’s register of interests myself. No Accenture shares. No Accenture directorship. He exited clean. But here’s what I found instead. His entire $40 million fortune sits in three boxes on the public record: a family trust, a private investment company, and a unit trust. Each one described with a single word, “Investment.” That’s it. That’s all the law requires him to tell you. So ask the obvious question: can anyone check whether any minister still has money riding on companies winning contracts from their own government? No. The register names the boxes. It can’t open them. And the bloke across the chamber? Angus Taylor. Seven years at McKinsey. Both sides of the dispatch box, one consulting industry, and a disclosure system built not to look too hard. He’s followed every rule. That’s exactly the problem. What’s your Thoughts…?

@GregIsles12906 @TimjboAU What a ridiculous tweet. Do you have any evidence at all that any migrants are afraid of losing their citizenship because of how they vote?

Corporate media think we are really stupid. I cannot stress this enough.

DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHO REALLY RUNS THIS COUNTRY? It’s not who you voted for. I’ve spent months in the official records, AEC returns, the lobbyist register, Senate inquiries, ATO data. What I found scares the hell out of me. Start with the money. Every single year for 27 years, a group of companies has funded Labor AND the Coalition at the same time. Never fewer than 24 of them. Last year, 94, the biggest on record. They don’t bet on a winner. They buy both. Add $1 billion in dark money since 1999 that nobody can trace, and five donors supplying a quarter of ALL party funding this century. Now the names. Andrew Robb signed the China trade deal as minister, then walked into an $880,000 a year job with Landbridge, the Chinese company holding the 99 year lease on Darwin Port. Christopher Pyne ran Defence, then advised EY on defence. Julie Bishop ran Foreign Affairs, then joined the board of an aid contractor feeding off her old department. Both cleared. Marise Payne, another former foreign minister, now works for a lobbying firm. The Grattan Institute found 1 in 4 ministers end up working for the industries they used to regulate. The rule against it has never once produced a real penalty. Behind them, a record 707 registered lobbyists and over 2,000 unregistered pass holders roaming Parliament’s private corridors with no record of who they meet. When one senator pushed for an inquiry, Labor and the Liberals teamed up to kill it. The one thing they always agree on. Then your money. Federal contracts to the big four consultancies grew 1,270% in a decade. PwC charged taxpayers nearly $1 million for a Robodebt report it never delivered, an 8 slide PowerPoint, while leaking our secret tax plans to clients like Google. KPMG stands accused of billing Defence for work never done, after hiring almost 100 ex Defence staff. Nobody went to jail for any of it. And the payback? Over 1,100 companies earning $100 million plus paid ZERO income tax in 2023-24. The ATO published the list itself. Who tells you about all this? Four companies control 84% of our newspapers. Only Brazil has a more concentrated media on the planet. Follow the loop: ●Hidden money funds the parties. ●Ministers retire into the industries they regulated. ●Those industries pay nothing back. And the megaphone deciding what you hear is owned by a handful of boardrooms. You’ve thrown the government out four times since 1998. Not one part of that loop was interrupted for a single year. Labor and Liberal aren’t driving the car. They’re taking turns holding the wheel while someone else owns the road. None of it is illegal. That’s the problem.

We wouldn’t be ok with our kids seeing three tobacco ads an hour, but this fed gov is fine with it being gambling ads. It is simply no justification to say media & sporting codes wouldn’t survive without them. Even if this was true, our kids are worth more than that. #auspol

The IRGC has not killed a single Australian, is defending its homeland, yet is called a terrorist organisation. The IDF, Israeli Defence Forces has killed Australians and is conducting an occupation and genocide yet Australia supplies it with weaponry. Does that make sense.

Next year, 285,000 students will pay more than $54,000 for arts, law and commerce degrees, and more than $90,000 for double degrees. The government has long been critical of the Job-ready Graduates scheme, but it's been in place longer under Anthony Albanese than Scott Morrison. It's the worst tertiary education policy of this century, and it needs to go. smh.com.au/national/not-f…

@onewonderdog @TheTweetOfGod Ironic, isn't it?

Looks like Labor’s whole AI pitch today treats the problem as datacentres taking too long to get approved, but that was never what people were worried about. People hate having no say at all while big tech gets the green light faster and faces less scrutiny than ever.

The average ASX100 CEO was paid 55 times more than the average wage earner last year. They have designed a system to steal the world’s wealth from everyone else and they pay politicians to keep it that way. Time to take back control of our economy, and politics.

Defence has bungled its disastrous $1.9B munitions contract with Thales. If it struggles to effectively execute a program to build bullets, what hope does it have executing a program to build bespoke nuclear powered submarines? #AUKUS #HardTruths #auspol crikey.com.au/2026/07/14/def…

The world is much more dangerous when people routinely give in to bullies and respond with such breathtaking hypocrisy. I don’t want to see us tied to the USA with all the risks it brings. Independence.

I hope some serious thought is going into what policies produce a country like Norway. As has been pointed out: after losing -no riots, no drunken brawls, no blaming the ref. Just grace, dignity, humour & generosity.

Look at this unmitigated narrative fuckery. The opposite is true. The ABC has been remorselessly gaslighting the genocide away for nearly three years. And now they're trying to gaslight the gaslighting away! It's enough to send people fkn insane.

Antony Green has just worked his last day at the ABC. He's made an incredible contribution to the ABC and our democracy, so let's get as many people as possible to sign his card! #auspol #AusVotes getup.to/kKE8aNcdCVJAhm

I don’t know who needs to hear this but if the government has the power to freeze your personal financial accounts simply because you express a political opinion that they do not like, then you are neither free nor living in a democracy.

The main reason there is a negative view of Israel, Jillian, is because of Israel’s atrocities, rather than the coverage of them.
