What is the point of a senate committee if the senate members cannot question witnesses without the minister and chair interrupting. I applaud you senator for keeping your composure. I think I would have been flipping tables.
Albo s a tyrant. In love with the power. Time to go Albo, you and your Gov are past your use by date. Just obnoxious and rude in Parliament. 5 year old kids act better than you lot in parliament. Think you all need a few stripes with the rattan. Might pull you back into line.
Not answering truthfully in this forum is a criminal offence, so which of these public servants will be charged with deliberately deceiving the parliament
The Chair should be sacked! HER behavior is outrageous. It’s the job of the chair to ensure that questions (especially those asked with PLENTY OF NOTICE), should be ANSWERED IN FULL AS ASKED! And not the bureaucratic waffling and constantly interrupting and DISRESPECTFUL CHAIR WHO CANT EVEN DO HER JOB! Her job is to SHUT UP and let the questioner ask their questions and hold the government officials ACCOUNTABLE for their work (or lack thereof). The Chair does NOT get to interrupt or challenge the questioner (who asked all of his questions respectfully and patiently) just because the Chair doesn’t like the NATURE of the question and the potential of the answer to embarrass the government for covering up their ineptitude or corruption or inaction - THAT is the whole purpose of the bloody committee! To hold the government ACCOUNTABLE and question their actions/inactions and this Chair CLEARLY is biased, obfuscating and participating in any cover up if she does not insist and/or sanction those on the government’s side from answering the questions AS ASKED AND ONLY AS ASKED and IN FULL! The Chair is clearly incompetent at her job and/or involved in this COVERUP. WE THE PEOPLE DEMAND TO KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT CRIMINALS ROAMING OUR COUNTRY UNSUPERVISED! SACK THE CHAIR AND THAT COMMISSIONER!
I don't think the chair is incompetent. The chair knows exactly what she is doing; which is to obstruct senator Paterson whenever he gets close to exposing bureaucratic corruption. I think the chair did her job commendably well. She nearly singlehandedly stopped senator Paterson getting to the truth. The chair seems to be very competent at carrying out the task she has been assigned, which appears to be to cover up the truth no matter what, no matter how absurd her objections appear to be. For these obvious reasons I have to respectfully disagree that the chair is incompetent.
Waffling poppycock, outrageous. The Chair is outrageous in her interruptions and very, very rude to Senator Paterson. There was no answer! Thankyou Senator Paterson for your amazing persistence.
Interesting that the Chair, allowed (impolite - in my view, but she - in this situation - gets to deem what that is or isnt (?)😮) interruption by one of the gentlemen facing of the Senator raising the questions, but blocked him when he attempted to bring the procedure back mindfully to time constraints.
Perhaps Australian citizens need to read up on the powers of the Chair in these forums, and be willing to draw the Chairs to account for where/when apparent 'favouritism' is shown OR also show where the rules/points of order do not work/or are not wielded, in a balanced, judicial (?) manner.
The police are more concerned with the privacy of murder3rs and r@pists than the public's safety or answering questions.This IS a cover up! Thank you, Senator Paterson🙏
That's what I was thinking. Shouldn't the security of the Australian public be put before the rights of an illegal immigrant with a criminal record? Chris Bowen is responsible for this. They weren't asylum seekers once they left the safety of Indonesia. They were illegal immigrants and should've been sent back!
Senator James Paterson having to stand up alone against a lineup of bloody liars. Why is the senator not allowed to interject while it seems to be acceptable for the chair and others to interrupt him? I call BS!
Well said Senator Paterson!!! You stood your ground! It is so very obvious the whole situation is a cover-up! The australian people are very awake to what is going on. We just witnessed the most outrageous & blatent bias!
@@martinscrapp7166 Paterson didn’t show up to vote against the LNP, also the LNP is in the same communist socialist group as labor greenies and teals. Trust none of the major parties they’re all traitors
100% He's asking the hard questions and they don't want to answer it . How can they turn up with a lack of information. If they were at school, they'd receive a fail (F)
It’s incredibly obvious that this is a coverup. I am utterly disgusted by the minister and chairman and I am sick to death of these arrogant PUBLIC SERVANTS.
@@seanworkman431 A lot of them only did arts degrees, then progressed through the union. They're good at arguing, talking for hours without actually saying anything and denying responsibility. Most haven't done a real days work in their life!
Commissioner Outram should be sacked!! What ineptitude!! He is a waffler!! He has more concern for the criminal illegal immigrants than for the Australian communities in which these convicted criminals are roaming free!! Thank you Senator Patterson for pointing out that his verbiage was NOT the answer to your question. Shame on that Chair! Shame on that Minister!! No wonder we’re in the mess we’re in!!
They have treated this parliamentary inquiry with pure contempt and t he chair is complicit. Deliberately lying to a parliamentary inquiry is a criminal offence, Minister Watt would have advised these public servants to decieve the parliament here and should be charged as an accessory
What concerns to the public is not the 79 with e-bracelet, it’s 73 without.the bracelet ! So funny he had to do them maths on the sense! I can feel the amount of pressure on him especially on his age! They tried to make people to think they had done lots of jobs! These public servants are lack of common sense and lazy! It’s easy to do a breakdown to see what crimes they had committed in these 73 people!
This is unacceptable. They don't care about the safety of the community. Enough already. The chairperson is clearly biased. How hard is it to count up crimes previously committed.
The lack of quality in the various public services is on a par to the failing state of society. Senator Patterson is exposing again what’s wrong with Australia’s leadership.
Well done Senator Paterson. Can't answer questions with written notice? Outrageous!!! We are run by clowns. Embarrassing. Australia - You get the leaders you deserve!
Just great. We need more like James Patterson.These public servants need holding to account.Im glad he didn't withdraw his question /statement.The same public servants probably weren't held to account with the last government..As for the Chairmen what a joke.We need answers and we are not getting them.Wake up Australia this rot goes on everyday wasting the senate's time and out money..Go your hardest Senator Patterson
Keep it up Senator This country needs people like you I apologise for the disrespect that you seem to continuously receive. The standing of your office alone should see you being given clear answers to your questions, let alone the respect you have personally earned by your integrity!
Senator Paterson is on point! When these officials take things on notice they are hiding something. No wonder the public has lost trust in them. Go Senator, stand your ground! We, the people support you.
Not only that they took it on notice and refused to provide the answers at a later date... then the chair involved themselves and helped cover their deception up..., She is evil
well done senator Paterson! These people should step down. They all show their non caring safety of the Australian people! I am disgusted!! We pay thier wages Australia!!
Thank you Senator. Next time ask, who is responsible for the crimes committed by the released asylum seekers on Australians? Then ask, who's responsible for tracking them? Then ask, will they directly explain to the victims giving the same response they give you? If not they are not fit nor capable of protecting Australians and must be replaced. The chair as well. She's a piece of work isn't she.
Unfortunately for Australia the chairperson is grandstanding to her peers more than seeking the efficient running of her committee. DEI isn't working...
@colinmeehan791 if you watch this live she makes the error of trying to redirect another senator regarding his question and seems to not understand the interchange that was taking place. Senator asks a question, gets refused, asks and presses, she steps in and thinks he shluld ask this of another department. Again no real capacity to navigate the discussions unfolding in front of her. Sad...
Deliberately and knowing corrupting the proper function of the committee. The public servants being questioned have a legal obligation to answer honestly and explicitly, it is a criminal offence for a public servant to decieve or lie under scrutiny, if it can be shown that the minister supporting the public servants have directed them to deceive the parliament he would be charged as an accessory
These public servants are so corrupt, they all need to go. Who elected these bureaucrats in anyway. Disclosure and honesty has left the country......they work for corporations not us.
She needs to support Paterson and demand the questions are answered. All smoke and mirrors, evasion, lies, deflections…. Criminals. Unfit for purpose. Should be sacked.
James Patterson......a true liberal statesman now and in the future. There is hope for Australia knowing we have someone who will hold incompetent agencies and the Labour Govt to account!
Without people like Senator J.P. we are all stuffed. Even with his persistence, the questions are STILL not being answered. "it looks like a cover up", was what he said and did not say, it IS a cover up. It not only looks like a cover up, but the facts support a cover up for another monumental stuff up
The best defence to any claims of a cover-up would've been "here are the numbers you requested from last week, we had them double-checked for changes first thing this morning, these are accurate as of 6AM today". Think of how many millions of dollars AFP and state police are investing (wasting?) on their IT infrastructure each year.. and these "ifs" buts" and "Mister Senators" are all they can output.
This incompetence wouldn’t happen in Russia and those criminals would be locked up. Good work Senator. Keep riding them. Murray Watt is a useless windbag.
Thank you Senator Paterson for standing up so well to this bunch of, really criminal pack of swamp creatures. Outran and The Chair are disgusting. They really cannot bare to be asked questions can they. All the bullies come out to help protect each other.
I say time and time again, thank goodness for people like Senator Patterson and a few others that we have. The chair and watts are pains in the butt and really hate anyone questioning anyone.
Thank you Senator Paterson. This is unconscionable. Public servants are guilty by commission or by omission. And the Chair needs to be censored for their constant interjection. Every time you get within coo-ee of the truth the Chair interrupts. This has been going on far too long. 🙏
Plus the chair seemed extremely fascinated by the mind numbingly pointless dribble coming out of the commissioner that she was quite unimpressed when the flow of inane garbage was interrupted. Does she need to be impartial to accept a job like that or just ABC impartial?
I’m appalled at the lack of duty of care and due diligence of our public servants. It’s an absolute disgrace. Australians are expected to make sufficient and full response government departments when asked. Why isn’t this reciprocal?
These people are covering up. Public Servants like this bunch are anything but transparent.Period! Just answer Senator Patterson's questions,instead of "beating around the bush"
I'm watching this and I consider every person who is called to respond pathetic and cowardly and remind them that they work for the tax payer and they are required and responsile to provide answers.
Very disappointed that Sen Patterson did not get the respect & support he is due. The minister should be ashamed of himself as he is NOT looking after the best interests of the people who voted him into office.
Thank you Senator Paterson for holding these bureaucrats accountable. They've operated in a vacuum of accountability, until now. Commissioner Outran should do the honourable thing and resign. The level of contempt he holds for the Australian citizenry is disgraceful. Siding with the criminals, not showing concern for the general public.
The chair is unaware of her role to ensure the meeting is run efficiently, she takes no charge of the responsibility of those who serve the public unwilling to answer questions that are to the point of national safety and community safety. She obviously is not up to the job of chair, her only reponse was ad hominen.
They can't seriously be concerned about protecting the privacy of sex offenders and murderers, above the safety of Australian citizens. This government will not achieve a second term.
Thank you for firmly standing your ground. Those people are all absolutely shameful and I hope they'll all be voted out before its too late. Keep up the good work and God bless you, Senator Patterson.
They had a week to get the answer ready ! What do they do during all that time ? Instead we get this word salad from the government? what are they hiding ? Thank you Senator for doing a good job. You are the only one in that room...
What has Australia come to? These public servants can't give an honest simple answer to straightforward questions. This buck-passing over and over should be regarded as criminal negligence of their duties. I'm appalled at and disgusted by the evasiveness and unprofessional conduct shown to Senator Paterson, who appears to be the only decent individual in that room. I applaud his integrity.
It's either a cover-up or incompetence, neither looks good. Thank you Senator for having our best interests at heart and being one of the very few people who seem to care. Don't let this go, we need to get to the bottom of this.
Some public servants it seems have forgotten that their job isn't to protect and further UN/WEF agendas, but to SERVE THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS AND THE TAXPAYER!!
Imagine these people running their own business. The one thing they need to know they don't. "Sorry i sell tyres, but i dont know if ive got any tyres to sell, can i come back to you next week and let you know..."
All he was asking, 'how many have bracelets? that's it- The public likes to know, 'how many'- not their names or any reference to their identity, just a number. Something is not right about both of these departments and those that run it. Sack them and get other public servants who are interested in not trying to grandstand and hide their incompetence. Tax payers money being used to employ incompetent being in an office of vital importance to the safety and protection of the citizens of Australia.
Sadly most of the people running this country are incompetent or downright malicious towards its citizens, its too late now for anything to be fixed, the bulk of Australians have snoozed through those alarms.
Another new favourite Senator, great work, keep the pressure on. Wish I could stay that calm and focused like him when he is clearly dealing with incompetent people (including the chair)
I just watched 12 minutes of shameless filibustering allowed and ultimately assisted by the chair, who is clearly allowing her personal opinions and biases to dictate her conduct. He asked ONE QUESTION. And one that he gave notice for and as he said, is CLEARLY in the public interest. I would like to know the answer, very much!!! To me, this was blatant obstruction and he is absolutely correct, it does look like a cover-up.
Senator Patterson, You have my support. I take exception to the Chair and the lack of cooperation from Border Force. It's the second time I've watched your address with Border Force and can't believe the smudging by the Chair Person and these officials from AFP Border Force. Disrespectful to respond to the Senator.
Senator Patterson I am completely in alignment with what you said to these officials that could not prepare to answer your questions!! Yes the public need to know this information and those officials must provide it. The public are right behind you Sen Paterson don’t back down. It is they who are not efficient in their job or covering up as you say!!!

Thank you Senator Paterson. This is unconscionable. Public servants are guilty by commission or by omission. And the Chair needs to be censored for their constant interjection. Every time you get within coo-ee of the truth the Chair interrupts. This has been going on far too long. 🙏
Plus the chair seemed extremely fascinated by the mind numbingly pointless dribble coming out of the commissioner that she was quite unimpressed when the flow of inane garbage was interrupted. Does she need to be impartial to accept a job like that or just ABC impartial?
Sounds like a cover up
As usual, every hearing, never an answer, always deflection, and we still got to pay for it all.
I agree, it does look very suspect.
I’m appalled at the lack of duty of care and due diligence of our public servants. It’s an absolute disgrace.
Australians are expected to make sufficient and full response government departments when asked.
Why isn’t this reciprocal?
Sir Humphrie would be most pleased with this lot of self important, overpaid bureaucrats.
These people are covering up. Public Servants like this bunch are anything but transparent.Period! Just answer Senator Patterson's questions,instead of "beating around the bush"
I'm watching this and I consider every person who is called to respond pathetic and cowardly and remind them that they work for the tax payer and they are required and responsile to provide answers.
Very disappointed that Sen Patterson did not get the respect & support he is due.
The minister should be ashamed of himself as he is NOT looking after the best interests of the people who voted him into office.
When the mi minisyers are now such arrogant commies who could only care for the demise of their country
Thank you Senator Paterson for holding these bureaucrats accountable. They've operated in a vacuum of accountability, until now. Commissioner Outran should do the honourable thing and resign. The level of contempt he holds for the Australian citizenry is disgraceful. Siding with the criminals, not showing concern for the general public.
The chair is unaware of her role to ensure the meeting is run efficiently, she takes no charge of the responsibility of those who serve the public unwilling to answer questions that are to the point of national safety and community safety. She obviously is not up to the job of chair, her only reponse was ad hominen.
Well said. I applaud your comment
She was legitimately the most disruptive person in that room!
@davefoord1259 thankyou
DEI appointment.@@ltr2518
She's is VERY aware of how to interrupt, deflect and close down discussions.
They can't seriously be concerned about protecting the privacy of sex offenders and murderers, above the safety of Australian citizens. This government will not achieve a second term.
Thank you for firmly standing your ground. Those people are all absolutely shameful and I hope they'll all be voted out before its too late. Keep up the good work and God bless you, Senator Patterson.
They had a week to get the answer ready ! What do they do during all that time ? Instead we get this word salad from the government? what are they hiding ? Thank you Senator for doing a good job. You are the only one in that room...
The chair is out of order
100 percent. That was an utterly disgusting display of abuse of power..
What has Australia come to? These public servants can't give an honest simple answer to straightforward questions. This buck-passing over and over should be regarded as criminal negligence of their duties. I'm appalled at and disgusted by the evasiveness and unprofessional conduct shown to Senator Paterson, who appears to be the only decent individual in that room. I applaud his integrity.
Pink jacket NEEDS TO GO!!! How do we get these people out????? She is disgraceful and appalling. What’s her name and that other minister bs?
The corruption is breathtaking.
Thanks Senator.
This makes my blood boil labor and the greens must go
And these overpaid obfuscating inept bureaucrats.
The chair is corrupt, she must be removed.
So much tax paid all my life and look at the state of us. I'm done. I don't believe incompetence any more.
It's either a cover-up or incompetence, neither looks good. Thank you Senator for having our best interests at heart and being one of the very few people who seem to care. Don't let this go, we need to get to the bottom of this.
It's both unfortunately. A cover up of incompetence.
What a hopeless Chair.Watts is no better.
Some public servants it seems have forgotten that their job isn't to protect and further UN/WEF agendas, but to SERVE THEIR OWN CONSTITUENTS AND THE TAXPAYER!!
Imagine these people running their own business. The one thing they need to know they don't.
"Sorry i sell tyres, but i dont know if ive got any tyres to sell, can i come back to you next week and let you know..."
Well put!
All he was asking, 'how many have bracelets? that's it- The public likes to know, 'how many'- not their names or any reference to their identity, just a number. Something is not right about both of these departments and those that run it.
Sack them and get other public servants who are interested in not trying to grandstand and hide their incompetence. Tax payers money being used to employ incompetent being in an office of vital importance to the safety and protection of the citizens of Australia.
Sadly most of the people running this country are incompetent or downright malicious towards its citizens, its too late now for anything to be fixed, the bulk of Australians have snoozed through those alarms.
Total cover up, they don't care. Thank you Senator for your work in trying to help keep these "public servants" accountable.
Thank you Senator Paterson . Please keep up the great job. These people are clearly undermining Australian people’s best interests
Refusing to provide is seen as Refusing to provide
Well there's a lot of seat squirming going on in this one. Cover up it is. Thanks Senator.
Another new favourite Senator, great work, keep the pressure on. Wish I could stay that calm and focused like him when he is clearly dealing with incompetent people (including the chair)
I just watched 12 minutes of shameless filibustering allowed and ultimately assisted by the chair, who is clearly allowing her personal opinions and biases to dictate her conduct. He asked ONE QUESTION. And one that he gave notice for and as he said, is CLEARLY in the public interest. I would like to know the answer, very much!!!
To me, this was blatant obstruction and he is absolutely correct, it does look like a cover-up.
Thank you Senator Paterson for your effort and time to stand up for all Australians peoples.!°❤🙏
Senator Patterson,
You have my support. I take exception to the Chair and the lack of cooperation from Border Force.
It's the second time I've watched your address with Border Force and can't believe the smudging by the Chair Person and these officials from AFP Border Force.
Disrespectful to respond to the Senator.
Senator Patterson I am completely in alignment with what you said to these officials that could not prepare to answer your questions!!
Yes the public need to know this information and those officials must provide it.
The public are right behind you Sen Paterson don’t back down. It is they who are not efficient in their job or covering up as you say!!!
It is astounding that the people in charge of this don’t have this information. I believe they actually do, but they are covering up.
Screw their privacy, it’s the safety of all Australians that’s more important
you are right Senator James Paterson thank you mate 👍👍
They claim they’re more worried about the privacy of criminals than they are about the community at large. Stick it to them Jimmy.
Who is the ratchet chair?
Senator Patterson thankyou sir! You are absolutely correct, these people hate being caught
The bias of the chair is evident! Disgraceful conduct by the minister, Outram is useless!
labor party protecting their intrests
Atrocious
Future PM. Holding the clowns to account.
Agree, can’t wait, please do what it takes Senator Patterson … many of us want you as our PM !
And the chair of the meeting absolutely allowed the others to interrupt you! Good effort centre you have my 100% support
