SENATOR ROBERTS UNCENSORED

India is moving towards nuclear energy to provide cheap, reliable energy to their people and to support the next tech revolution. AND they are doing this with Australian uranium. Chris Bowen and Labor won't even have a conversation about nuclear energy. Talk about hypocrisy! Labor is happy for our power bills to keep rising and our standard of living to keep falling. #FireTheLiar

Last year, out of the 180,000 permanent visas handed out by the Labor government - only 1 in 3 were actually qualified skilled migrants. This is not the skilled migration Australians were promised. Bringing in a massive number of unskilled migration in the middle of a housing crisis is hurting everyday Australians. A One Nation government will only allow migrants with skills that Australia requires.

This is how Labor LIES TO YOU about tax hikes!!!

During the June Estimates sessions, I exposed a regulator unwilling to confront the obvious – thousands of coal minders have been underpaid for years while the Fair Work Ombudsman hides behind outdated enterprise agreements and technical excuses. Miners provided evidence and the regulator ignored it. Awards required permanency and enterprise agreements undermined it. Australia’s largest wage-theft scandal, affecting an estimated 5,000 workers, continues because no one in authority will confront it. This session laid bare a system that has failed miners, failed the award, and failed it’s statutory duty to uphold a fair minimum safety net. If the system won’t protect workers, someone has to call it out. One Nation will always call it out.

I seemed to have upset my colleagues when I questioned why more than half a million dollars was being spent on a grant exploring “Indigenous connections to outer space” and whether Aboriginal people “cared for other plants.” How do such projects help Australians who are living in tents, skipping meals, or struggling to pay rent? While people are hurting, the Labor government is spending $1 billion a year on grants like this. Taxpayers deserve to know why.

Should Matt Kean be sacked? Is this a conflict of interest?

A $68.5 million budget measure (allocated over three years) intends to provide HIV treatment to people who are not eligible for Medicare. Why are Australian taxpayers funding treatment for non-citizens when we are in the middle of a cost-of-living crisis?

How much will it cost the taxpayer to monitor the ISIS brides? What level of assistance is being offered?

Back in February I questioned Dennis Barnes, the CEO of the infamous Snowy Hydro 2.0 that’s estimated to cost taxpayers $12 billion … for now. This project began without a transparent business case and is currently locked into an anti-competitive contractor structure whilst relying on a cost-plus model that leaves taxpayers carrying the blowouts. Add years of delays, poor early planning, and constant political blame-shifting, and the project looks less like nation-building and more like a multibillion dollar waste of taxpayer money. Despite the project’s spiralling costs and repeated failures, the government continues to shift blame rather than accept responsibility. Barnaby Joyce has openly acknowledged his mistake, yet those overseeing Snowy Hydro 2.0 refuse to show the same accountability. And it’s you. The Australian taxpayers, that are expected to foot the bill. One Nation says: it's time to cut our losses on this white elephant and get back to what works - cheap base-load energy.

We have one culture - the Australian culture. We are a people. We are a nation. We have a history. And One Nation will make sure Australia has a FUTURE too.

Productivity and prosperity – these are two concepts intimately linked and yet wrongly separated thanks to the over-taxing demands of Treasury. Productivity is not about taxation. Taxation is a reward taken by the Treasury from productivity in the private sector. This has led some ministers to view tax revenue as the chief goal of productivity instead of a reflection of economic success – a catastrophic error that speaks to the financial illiteracy plaguing the Labor government. The recent Budget saw Labor propose raising taxes on the few remaining productive sectors of the economy. These represent the small corners of investment occupied with people trying to make ends meet in an increasingly unfair system. The result has been … predictable. A flat, weakening investment sector and stagnating housing markets. Continue reading here: https://senroberts.com/productivity-is-prosperity

Why is Australia giving $100,000 in Arts grants to pro-Palestine activists?

I recently questioned the NIAA at Senate Estimates on the ongoing failures of the Closing the Gap initiative. Case in point: out of a recent $40M grant for the Alice Springs Camp, roughly half was chewed up by administrative salaries rather than direct aid. When pushed for a genuine, independent external audit to see where the money is actually going, the NIAA pointed to internal reviews. ANAO does not conduct the deep financial audits required here. This is just the department monitoring itself. Worse still, when asked if basic welfare payments are enough to survive on in remote areas, the NIAA directed me to the Department of Social Services. How can we close the gap if the leading agency refuses to look at the actual baseline standard of living? A One Nation government will demand transparency and independent audits, ensuring that funding goes to people that need it - not middlemen.

Setting the record straight on the PBS, TGA and Medicare.

Government‑paid parental leave helps parents spend time with their newborns. One Nation supports this leave – always has.

One Nation continues to seek answers about alleged #NDIS fraud.

Yesterday the Senate passed legislation to link Director IDs to the Companies Register. Recent major corporate collapses have cost everyday Australians hundreds of millions of dollars. Several large business failures recently have cost everyday Australians hundreds of millions of dollars. These type of frauds could have been prevented had ASIC already connected Director IDs to company records, enabling early identification of dodgy directors and monitoring of their activities. One Nation opposed the way Director ID was introduced. Yesterday I successfully moved an amendment calling out these abuses of power and the attacks on privacy in recent years. The amendment passed with support from all parties in the Senate. I will hold those parties to this vote in the future. The war on privacy must stop.

One Nation wants to know if the Isis Brides and their children: ⚠️Will be required to attend deradicalisation programs. ⚠️Present a threat to the safety of Australians. ⚠️And if there are more coming. These are the answers we received.

We have been lied to about Aussie birth rates and migration ... especially the farce of the foreign education system. #OneNation #migration
