Sitting around drinking Coffee and thinking no way I can be sacked. Public service yeah it needed the extra 30,000 Public Servants to get the work done. BS. LNP sack them all
This is very worrying !These beaurocrats have not kept important expenditure records up to date and there don't appear to be adequate checks and balances. This sloppy negligence should result in instant dismissal.
Hence why the government excluded themselves from the “misinformation” policy. If you’re in government or part of the controlled media, post whatever you like and who cares if the info is out of date, we accept no responsibility.
In private enterprise someone would be sacked. Sadly we have to live with the mediocracy of government departments. Bet the head gets a bonus each year. Senator Wong please shut up!
Doesn't matter how many staff are thrown on a TASK, the more, the more bludging and typical govt uselessness, no pay for performance.... just pay for attendance.
insane...it is not that i am after the limelight...it is that you are messing up so bad that when i asked simple questions you can NOT answer them. do not change Mr. Fawcett.
It took 8 mins from a report of an under sight to it getting noted as an actionable item!! Imagine if it took a plumber 8 minutes to observe a leaking hose and deciding to rectifying it. Or an electrician 8 minutes to observe a short circuit and deciding to switch off the mains This is why govt sucks the big ones...they are not capable of a simple acknowledgement that there's a problem and make an immediate and final decision to fix it
Very good question David, thank you. I am thinking that perhaps we have too many public servants, and that this leads to a diffusion of responsibility. Our government is too big, although I’ve no doubt many public servants do an excellent job. One of the respondents baulked at the idea of doing an audit, despite giving assurances of ensuring up-to-date information. This harks back to your question: who is responsible, and what processes are in place to ensure that information is up-to-date? The conclusion was somewhat wish-washy, but at least they were, for the most part, reasonably affable. It will be interesting to see what information is provided to you, in notice. Speaking of which, there should be somewhere on the website where we can read those submissions. Thanks for all your work, David.
What a complete joke,typical for this current government and the very expensive Civil servants currently doing such a not so stellar job in what they are supposed to being paid to do.- GO LABOR
People rely on the thousands of public servants we pay (very highly) to keep all public websites up to date. Unacceptable. Maybe take some resources off the internal comms or DEI teams to do this?
Unbelievable that these people in our Government earn an obscene amount of money and are unable to keep updates to us about Government in Australia on the web and not even able to answer questions without faltering. its beyond imagination how they get to work in Government then again they are Public Servants aren't they a World on their own they live in a bubble. Sad ...Glad Senator Fawcett is on the ball ..
I just checked out there sanctions page .. Its not dated. And to say it is the most basic of pages is an understatement... Maybe if some heads rolled the supposed public servants might do what they're paid by the public to do... Disgraceful!
The chief of these muppets says she is going to "double the effort". The trouble is two times zero is still zero. It's time to start the sackings because there's about $2 million per year arranged on that bench without a single cent of value.
Over a Billion dollars of Taxpayers money sent to Ukraine to fund a false war that doesn't involve us. That money should have been spent on Australian's building Baseload Power Stations and Infrastructure.
The HSU, a union for health workers in the public health, aged care, ambulance, disability care, community health, medical imaging, pathology, and private health sectors in NSW and the ACT. In addition, the HSU covers workers in Aboriginal Medical Services in NSW, ACT and QLD." is openly advertising extra super for female applicants for multiple positions, is this not against the fair work act and gender pay equality act?
My goodness .. really!!! The public service is over flowing with staff .. what do they actually do for our taxpayer $$$$? They can’t keep their websites up to date!!!!! Maybe they need an Elon Musk treatment., like what he did with Twitter! Not it seems wanting to an audit -FFS!
I have another one for you - the health Departement's information about how Mpox can be transmitted is not current any more either. The New variant is transmittable through simple human Touch and possibly even through droplets via air
Come on senator , don’t ask hard questions. !!!!!! they will never tell the plebs what’s really going on, how dare you ask a reasonable question…. can’t wait to hear the spin wrong regurgitates. Thanks you for challenging them.
They had to quickly take down the photos and videos of the Ukraine military which showed the insignias of the SS and other battalions linked to AH regime.
Good question Maybe they don’t want the people to know How about how much money has been sent to help them when we could be helping our own ! Dodging - scared to lose your job and not answering the questions Shame on you - sack em all - we pay their wages
And that 😂 he said and that “ Yeah we do it and that “ What the ? 😂 Where did these ones go to school 😊😂 A e Ye um na oo What are we watching A Utopia skit 😊
Asleep at the wheel but still being paid!😊
Absolutely pathetic from the Govt!! They don’t even get the point of the question asked!!

We need to drain the swamp, before we drown.
Bunch of inept and corrupt muppets!
bring back the MUPPET SHOW instead of question time NObody watches

THEY ARE ALL IN IT TOGETHER - MAFIA
Exactly
Incompetence and bureaucrats go hand in glove
Great work ,senator,keep up the pressure!
These people are paid for doing less than nothing. All they do is damage!
DEI
In private enterprise someone would be sacked. Sadly we have to live with the mediocracy of government departments. Bet the head gets a bonus each year. Senator Wong please shut up!
But rhey are a private corporation. Our federal government is unconstitutional & all senators know it.
She is in love with herself .
Labor government caught asleep at the wheel! Sack the head of the department.
Watching the DFAT Secretary bumble her way through your questioning reminds me of a Secret Service agent struggling to holster her firearm!
She was no secret service agent she was DEI agent
Avoid and evade. That`s their answer.
Don’t know whether to laugh or cry
People not doing their job. Again
they dont work for us they are a reg'' corporation on the USSSEC in NYC......
Doesn't matter how many staff are thrown on a TASK, the more, the more bludging and typical govt uselessness, no pay for performance.... just pay for attendance.
How much are we paying these public servants? Time to recruit more workers and less executives, so the work gets done.
The phrase, Arse from Elbow? comes to mind
If the Australian public knew what was really happening in Ukraine there would be hell to pay.
And our taxpayers money by the $$billions for trafficking!!
insane...it is not that i am after the limelight...it is that you are messing up so bad that when i asked simple questions you can NOT answer them. do not change Mr. Fawcett.
This must be frustrating for conscientious politicians, like David Fawcett.Penny Wong,on the other hand ,doesn't seem concerned!
It took 8 mins from a report of an under sight to it getting noted as an actionable item!!

Civil service vacillation at its best. When you’re on a super comfortable salary and have great job security, details aren’t that important.
Get James Paterson to sort them out.
DFAT- we rely on others to nudge us when we screw up
All lies and cannot answer the questions swallowing their words, also let's again say it will be on notice.
Better call the E-Safety commissioner…
Oh wait, misinformation only exists when it doesn’t tow the designed narrative.
Well done senator

There needs to be a New law TRUTH IN ADVERTISING! AND IT SHOULD COVER GOVERNMENT, POLITIC'S, AND PARTIES/ ELECTION PROMISES!
Her assurance she offers, certainly doesn’t assure me they are honest, pathetic bunch of liars
What a complete joke,typical for this current government and the very expensive Civil servants currently doing such a not so stellar job in what they are supposed to being paid to do.- GO LABOR
So he should be sacked!hey lied and keep lying! Just spending our taxes and we don’t need to know just keep working ,paying and shut up.
if truck drivers do not keep their work diaries up-to-date every 15 minutes we face up to $19,000 in fines
People rely on the thousands of public servants we pay (very highly) to keep all public websites up to date. Unacceptable. Maybe take some resources off the internal comms or DEI teams to do this?
This Govt is shocking, thank god we have an election coming soon.
Great job. They do need an audit
Unbelievable that these people in our Government earn an obscene amount of money and are unable to keep updates to us about Government in Australia on the web and not even able to answer questions without faltering. its beyond imagination how they get to work in Government then again they are Public Servants aren't they a World on their own they live in a bubble. Sad ...Glad Senator Fawcett is on the ball ..
I didn't know a new series of Utopia was on the go!!
Thank you
Is there a legitimate reason there is always a minister at this inquiries?
to stop the govt agency telling stuff that the government does not want said
To shut it down if they say too much.
In this case the buck stops with her, n'est pas? And she doesn't have any clue. A cross ❌ breed between Kamala and Brandon 😮👹🖤
I just checked out there sanctions page ..
Its not dated. And to say it is the most basic of pages is an understatement...

They are like some school kids with D grades. How come they have such important jobs?

is openly advertising extra super for female applicants for multiple positions, is this not against the fair work act and gender pay equality act?
End ALL DEI placements...
Would ''obtuse" be an appropriate word
Do they ever know anything?????
Jan Adams salary $943,440
What !!? 900k for doing what. Outrageous how these bureaucrats get paid.
My goodness .. really!!! The public service is over flowing with staff .. what do they actually do for our taxpayer $$$$? They can’t keep their websites up to date!!!!!
Maybe they need an Elon Musk treatment., like what he did with Twitter! Not it seems wanting to an audit -FFS!
And what did you say we pay these people for? To keep information from Australians whose money I hope they remember they are using.
Bet their lunch meetings are up to date and paid for! Wonder if they are that behind when it comes to buying the right personal shares😅
WHY DO THEY GET PAID?? A WASTE of TAX PAYERS Money. ENOUGH. This is Beyond a Joke how they treat the Tax payers. Its NOT Funny. YES MINISTER STUFF.
WTF?
Have you ever notice all the time that Penny Wong always has her arms crossed. She also does it in parliament.
No confidence in any websites! Internal processes are incompetent!!! Someone is getting paid for being incompetent!!!
I have another one for you - the health Departement's information about how Mpox can be transmitted is not current any more either. The New variant is transmittable through simple human Touch and possibly even through droplets via air
Isn’t most public government financial data automatically updated?!
Good job.
Take on notice, here here
Really impressed with the no good answer
These are the people running Australia..
No duedilligence in this government in the past 3 years - we can't trust them any more at all 😢😢😢
When do we get rid of these incompetent overpaid echo chambers. 30% reduction of staff is needed.
Does anyone have their eye on the ball?
Utopia!
That’s a new one. What is the question?
Come on senator , don’t ask hard questions. !!!!!!
they will never tell the plebs what’s really going on, how dare you ask a reasonable question….
can’t wait to hear the spin wrong regurgitates.
Thanks you for challenging them.
They had to quickly take down the photos and videos of the Ukraine military which showed the insignias of the SS and other battalions linked to AH regime.
Hypocrisy
Looks like they failed to outsource this task.
1 year old outdated information. Not good enough.
Good question
Maybe they don’t want the people to know
How about how much money has been sent to help them when we could be helping our own !
Dodging - scared to lose your job and not answering the questions
Shame on you - sack em all - we pay their wages
Uh, well, um
Who would you know?
Paid to do what??? Oh Minister! It's nice to be popular with the staff! But ?
Time for an 'Elon' house clean 👍
just tell us to go get stuffed, no matter, we will fix at the ballet box, just like US.
And that 😂 he said and that
“ Yeah we do it and that “
What the ? 😂
Where did these ones go to school 😊😂
A e Ye um na oo
What are we watching
A Utopia skit 😊
A level of useless that is hard to comprehend
Misinformation, Disinformation and.....
No-information.
Lying by ommission.
F
Clown show! How many times does the Senator have to ask the same question
We given so little to Ukraine it’s embarrassing to even update the funding we have, btw why’s our embassy not open there yet ?
You cannot get good staff for only $300-$900 per year!
They have there mate's do it all.
And the government's forced evey one looked up.
So they don't do there jobs😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Looks like “INCOMPETENCE” to me , just sayin’ .
