Parliament Update 12 April 2024

Parliament Update 14 March 2024 - Supplementary Budget Estimates
Over the past fortnight, Robert and Mark have spent time at Supplementary Budget Estimates questioning ministers and senior public servants in all government departments through the various upper house Portfolio Committees. Budget Estimates are a unique opportunity for members of the Legislative Council (the NSW Upper House) to hold the government and public service accountable and it is where the value of having members in parliament shines. Shooting, fishing and rural lobby groups and organisations may plead with the government to help them, but SFF can scrutinise and embarrass the government into acting by exposing their shortcomings at Budget Estimates.
Parliament Update Monday 4 December 2023
In the final week of Parliament for 2023, Robert and Mark were at it again fighting government incompetence and extreme fringe politics.

There was so much garbage that Robert and Mark found themselves leaving Parliament House after midnight more than once.
