What the gently caress

"It is just absolutely incompetence of the highest order to not bother – he needs to say what did he do to inform himself that what he was signing off on was value for money, that the processes had been undertaken correctly," she said.

quote:

Pauline Hanson’s One Nation made a mystery $500,000 payment to troubled investment company Mayfair Platinum, responsible for a now-stalled billion-dollar redevelopment of Mission Beach in Queensland.
The “party payment” was made in the first six months of 2020 and disclosed to the Electoral Commission of Queensland by Hanson on behalf of the Queensland division of her party.
One Nation has angrily rejected claims the party could be left out of pocket due to a series of liquidations within the corporate group – but refused to explain the purpose of the $500,000 payment and whether any of the money has been repaid.
Mayfair Platinum is part of the troubled Mayfair 101 group, which suspended investors’ rights to redeem some investments in March and is being sued by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission.
Asic has accused director James Mawhinney of misleading investors in Mayfair 101, which has raised at least $140m from the public, by claiming some of its offerings were similar in safety to a bank term deposit.
Mawhinney has also been accused in court of transferring potentially valuable assets away from the grip of investors and to a company in the British Virgin Islands, 101 Investments, of which he is the ultimate owner.

...

Guardian Australia contacted Hanson to ask about the $500,000 payment and whether the Pauline Hanson’s One Nation Queensland division could be left out of pocket.
Hanson’s chief of staff, James Ashby, replied that the claims were “completely untrue”, adding that “gutter trash theories” were a “waste of [his] time”.
Ashby declined to answer follow-up questions to explain the purpose of the $500,000 payment his own party leader declared and whether the money had been paid back.

Did One Nation get scammed out of half a million?

Look guys, I think it's a fair point to just pause, take a breath and remember that the qualifications of this job are as follows: Be 18, be an Australian citizen. Now that we know just how low the bar is, rather than asking 'how did this happen' we can start asking the real questions 'how hasn't this happened sooner, or even - how long until this inevitably happens again'. We have these ministries which are supposed to mitigate the idiot factor and provide expert help and guidance, but the idiots are also in charge of hiring and firing in those ministries, so they've just stuffed those up too.

If we made it so ministers had no say in the employment factors in the public service, like some 4th arm of the government, then we might solve the problem.

It'd be the Parliament, the Executive Government, the Judicature, and the guys who are meant to stop the idiots from being idiots.
