Episode Details

New parliamentary report reveals a significant issue in Australian politics: numerous committee inquiries receiving no response from the government, despite rules requiring responses within six months. The Senate alone has over one hundred fifty ignored reports since the 2022 election. The push for a gambling ad ban, recommended by a committee since 2020, remains unaddressed. Critics argue this disrespects experts and wastes taxpayer money. Both major parties have left unanswered reports, with some blaming politically loaded inquiries. Freedom of information requests show drafts exist but are withheld to avoid prejudicing decisions. Pressure mounts from various groups, and Senate FOI changes add to transparency concerns.
