  1. @goldingcartoons #Cartoon #GoldingCartoons So #StuartRobert will not give a farewell speech. That’s fine. He’s said enough already. Les Aisen Elsternwick @theage letters #robodebt

  2. CW: #Auspol Stuart Robert stood to financially gain from Synergy’s operations.

    “The revelation that Margerison had sent an email in 2017 directing his accountant to send the earnings from Synergy 360 to a company called Australia Property Trust, which was part owned by Robert, is the first time in the scandal it’s been revealed that Robert stood to financially gain from Synergy’s operations.
    The company received informal advice from Robert, both as a backbencher and a minister, about how to secure potential business deals for its corporate clients.”

  3. #StuartRobert's peak bizarre mindset is not to be surprised at. He shares along with #ScottMorrison a weird fundamentalist Christianity. Australia dodged a BOMB when it elected #ALP. #auspol

  4. @FionaKatauskas just in case other people don’t have your fine grasp of Australian politics 😁🥂 #StuartRobert

  5. MPs routinely lie to the media. I'm not sure it even counts.

    What's important is whether #StuartRobert lied under oath, in court or in parliament.

  6. Ex-minister Stuart Robert 'takes responsibility' for Robodebt implementation, admits defending it despite knowing it could be unlawful

    Looks like Stuart Robert has dropped some of his bluster and retreated to the Nuremberg Defense. He's making weak excuses for being a key architect and implementer of RoboDebt, which led to the death of many people and harmed the physical and mental health of thousands of Australians. This is on Stuart Robert, and he shouldn't be able to dodge accountability by saying he was "Just following orders".

    Key quotes:

    Stuart Robert went on television programs defending RoboDebt as a "dutiful cabinet minister", despite being aware it could be unlawful.

    "As a senior member of the government, I take absolute responsibility as part of cabinet solidarity for this."

    "Ministers are required to defend the government's programs as part of cabinet solidarity regardless of if they agree with them or not."

    "I have implemented many things I passionately disagree with, but I'm still required as a minister to represent them and defend them and that's what I've done here, regardless of my personal sense or belief."

    "Legal advice is just advice."

  7. CW: Auspol

    This joker, who bumbled his way through half the ministries in the previous government, is absolutely going to be the integrity commission's first victim. Who knew pentecostal God endorses corruption?
