Pauline hits the nail on the head with WOFTAM Estimates - 

Via X:

#BREAKING The Albanese Government has fired back at the news that One Nation has now overtaken them in the latest poll by questioning Pauline Hanson’s attendance record in Senate Estimate Hearings.

Labor claims that Hanson has been absent in about 88% of Senate Estimate Hearings days over the past decade.

Hanson fired back in her typical fiery fashion “bastards”

She then questioned why she would waste her time asking questions of bureaucrats who “have been told not to answer questions”

She argues her time is much better spent travelling around the state and listening to voters concerns.

Something Anthony Albanese just flat out arrogantly refuses to do.

“These bastards just try to kick me in the guts to make out I’m not doing anything” Hanson said.

“I’m getting the answers from the Australian people, directly from them, and that’s what Anthony Albanese won’t do”

Labors primary vote has crashed to 28%

While One Nation has soared to 31%

Anthony Albanese is said to be in a state of panic at his inability to stop the bleeding of Labor’s continued slide in the polls.

Australia may have finally woken up.

FWIW here are the links for the Hansard for Estimates:

Hmm...on the $220 million REX bail out by the Labor Govt, I thought this was a significant point by Senator McKenzie (26th May hearing)...

Senator McKENZIE: Minister, you are not the senior minister—hopefully, one day you will get to be one—but what your senior minister failed to do during this crisis was to sit down with the 40 different Australian-owned regional aviation service providers to work out a way to maintain service provision to the regions and allow their own businesses to grow. Instead, the minister—I suspect without due diligence—chose to step in and save a company, rather than actually looking at how to provide the service and guarantee the service. As a result of this minister's decision-making, you have got the worst of both worlds, instead of a solution that could have continued service provision and allowed Australian companies to grow and prosper.
