Ministerial Incompetence is of Olympic Dimension

The revelations were made in the Home Truths series of articles by investigative reporters at The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age and 60 Minutes. The articles by Michael Bachelard, Nick McKenzie and Amelia Ballinger raise apparent malpractice in two of the department’s responsibilities: One is systemic abuse of the visa system by criminal gangs; the other is dubious payments for the letting of contracts to run Australia’s offshore immigration processing and detention centres in Nauru and Papua New Guinea.

That the Australian Federal Police told Dutton as home affairs minister in July 2018 that an Australian businessman was under investigation for bribery, and that Dutton’s department awarded the same man’s company a multi-million-dollar government contract a month later.
