If Parliament was sitting today as scheduled, we would have just finished Question Time. Instead, Airbus Albo axed Parliament this week, because he was jetting off to the US. He could have left the Deputy PM in charge. Or made this trip in one of the 34 non-sitting weeks.

Bill Shorten has made Services Australia spend $620,000 on a speechwriter just for him. This at a time when Services Australia takes on average 83 days to process an Age Pension claim. Forget the big speeches Bill & focus on lifting service levels!

If you own five houses, do you get five energy rebates? My question to the Prime Minister in Question Time today.

Question time shut down by @AlboMP today after just six questions from the Opposition. Under the Morrison Coalition Govt the then Labor Opposition routinely received 9 or 10 questions - but the @AlboMP Labor Government just hates being exposed to scrutiny.

For 3rd day in a row @AlboMP cuts off question time after only 6 questions from the Opposition - compared to average of 9.5 questions being allowed to the then Labor opposition under the Morrison Government. So much for his promises of more accountability in politics…

Today I have written to ABC Chair Ita Buttrose with questions concerning the Four Corners program “Inside the Canberra Bubble” that was broadcast on 9 November 2020.

This year, Question Time has been shut down early by the Prime Minister 40 per cent of the time – 15 out of 37. Labor are desperate to avoid scrutiny on their long list of broken promises and to shield rookie Ministers from basic questions.

For the fourth day in a row, the House of Reps isn't sitting, because @AlboMP cancelled a sitting week. In Opposition he was Accountability Albo - all for transparency and scrutiny. But now he's Airbus Albo, he'd rather jet off to the US than front up to question time.

For 3rd day in row the House of Reps has not sat because AirbusAlbo cancelled a week of sittings so he could jet off to the US. He promised a more accountable & transparent parliament; he’s delivered the opposite.

No, @PatsKarvelas, you cannot 'call them cuts for this purpose'. Per your brethren at @ABCFactCheck: 'Fact Check deems that an adjustment to future spending does not represent a "cut" when the overall level of spending continues to rise.' abc.net.au/news/2018-10-1…

Under Labor and the Teals, you're worse off.
