NACC commissioner Paul Brereton resigns

Ursh29

You should have sent them an invoice for your work educating the public on the use of their online complaints portal. Well done you!

Badge of honour ... now, request your ASIO file ... (it's actually quite simple to do ... I will not be taking questions on how I know ... lol)

Joan ofArc-ing23

Omg, I remember this. Like telling the teacher 🤭 Brereton is so full of himself, he is incapable of admitting his incompetence and blatant bias’s. He’s just Morrison 2.0.

Nigel Bell 🍉20

Brereton ... Campbell ... and that other one (hmm) amazing how their names keep floating to the surface of the newsfeed, quite like - - bsky.app/profile/nige...

Andy Paterson17

Brereton was a dead Albatross around the Parliament's neck, the #NACC commissioners job is more useless than a blind, one legged ballerina at a line dance. The Government has seriously failed Australians, with the corruption index continuing to expand. transparency.org.au/australia-dr...

Kent Parkstreet15

I’m beginning to believe the person who appointed Brereton possibly should have a little explain.

tandigi14

“Mum, the other kids are picking on me. Make them stop!”

Jono14

“Spam the NACC” sounds like a 50s dance craze that never took off.

Dr Sally13

That’s hilarious He has a problem with people being encouraged to make a complaint What a fool

Bell 🔔13

I was going to say that the $800,00 price tag for such dismal service is 'salt in the wound' 🤭

Ian Peters12

At least he recognises greatness..

Ian Farquhar11

Speaking truth to power, Ronni! BTW, is nobody else noticing his assistant’s email signature? The psychology behind that is… illuminating. They really found someone special in Brereton. It’s a wonder that they didn’t need an extra commcar for his hubris and ego to travel around Canberra in.

margmmelb.bsky.social11

He really didn’t get it

Frau Cernik11

It triggered an enquiry by the Inspector Ms Furness , thank you Ronni .👏👏

Raymond Wilton10

Arrogant man who was never suited for a leadership role requiring integrity to seek out corruption. Going after Ronni Salt would have been about her reporting & posting well researched critical analysis of his failed performance & striking a nerve. He has been weighed, measured & found wanting.

Check Tan9

I don't think Brereton likes being questioned or challenged, a touch of the privileged attitude in him. Must have gathered that from his army days

Birdie Carrington9

Further evidence proving the unsuitability of military types for roles like this Total lack of understanding about democracy, open government, freedom of speech, conflict of interest…

Kevin MacKenzie7

A truly vacuous individual, highly salaried and tasked with making a difference...in the end he achieved nothing, absolutely nothing!

Odins_toenail7

Go you! Having your *own list is a badge of honour!

David Jones6

If you wear a cap Ronni, it’s a good feather to have in it. 🙂

Paul Boland6

Yep. We went hard. But really? NACC Commissioner who did sfa on Robodebt complaining about Twitter?

Jon Eastgate6

I love how our the chosen head of NACC doesn't have a clue about conflict of interest, tries to keep everything secret and hates independent oversight. I'm wondering if he also thinks bribery is OK.

misschief9.bsky.social5

He seems upset about people providing information or complaints. I'm sure the inspector took that into account. LOL

Just Jim will do.5

I mean, he probably had some spare time, given that he wasn't supposed to be doing, you know, that other stuff at the same time.

ShelbyAC4

What a fcking POS . Self-righteous prick .

claude-oneshot.bsky.social3

Geez, obviously investigating corruption is not occupying the overwhelming majority of his time.

David@aodaliya3

His appointment was yet another "own goal" by The Duopoly who for some odd reason think that retired military officers are perfect candidates for highly paid govt positions because they have the right security clearances. He fell over at the first hurdle. #RobodebtRC sealed section is where now???

Pinnacledrop543

What an absolute dud he was.

wombatpunch.bsky.social2

I hope he at least read the book.

Lukas Parker2

What sort of rent are you paying to reside in his head?

Simon Killen2

a storyline from "Get Smart", surely?

Paul Bamford2

Sounds like he misread his duty statement and got the whole thing 180 degrees arse about. This is not what I'd call competence. bsky.app/profile/ronn...

Daniel Cohen2

Sooks in high places. Imagine being asked to be accountable for your exorbitant publicly funded salary.

carlosamammal.bsky.social2

An Federal watchdog boss claiming that an Official complaint form = Spam!! ---- I think that deserves a Royal Commission!

Jeremy2

Huh? Recently resigned? Where's the campaign!

Miree2

Always trying to cover their arses.

aussiewitch.bsky.social15

He did nothing but protect the government and no one has received justice .. which is a very bad look for @albomp.bsky.social

Anonymous Sewer Rat 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜🖤🤎14

He’s earned close to $3M for sitting on his arse for three years . NACC was ineffective thanks to the terms of service and Brereton’s inadequate service. #corruption #malfeasance

Smacka13

Yep just another corrupt lying liberal grub finally pissing off with the massive salary. A really bad choice.

Kerrie B9

Let’s hope they reassess the more than 92% of the 7,624 referrals received that Brereton presided over the last three years.

Kevin MacKenzie7

As MWM pointed out, 3 years, 220 staff, $200m spent, achieved f*ck all!

Hume Hannity7

Sigh... shamelessness is apparently the new black.

Ian Peters7

On his way out he is still a disgusting asshole.

Dave Lennon6

love me a self serving resignation letter from abject failures.... and this is another one.

Larry6

If they were worried about integrity, it’d be called an integrity commission rather than an anti-corruption commission (I know that’s not the point but…)

Sharon H5

Perhaps he can reopen the Strait of Hormuz too

masim4

The only achievement has been 2 get Aus ppl really angry. If you wanted the nacc 2 fiddle around +achieve absolutely NOTHING then you install a useless compromised expensive dill like this

MaxWatching4

If he's the example of enhanced integrity in the Commonwealth public sector then we have a bloody long way to go!

Perspicacity - 493

Actions, or in this case, a complete lack of actions, speaks louder than words.

captainstubie.bsky.social2

Analogous to the cheese shop from Monty Python's flying circus - the Corruption commission without prosecutions

claude-oneshot.bsky.social2

The NAAC website is very Flowery on their mission, but the facts don't match the mission. It seems to me that under Brereton the NACC was more of a guardian angel for wrong doers.

Glenn Plummer I👀U2

Brereton the parasite. Attaches himself to the public purse and produces nothing but shit.

Kent Parkstreet13

And @adambandt.bsky.social and The Greens called all this before the ALP were elected.

Evan6

Awesome. Now they need to find someone credible to replace him. Perhaps morrison? I know... bad joke.

Twang 🍉6

Albo's captain's picks: • He employed Brereton to police Federal corruption • He employed Jillian Segal to police dissent against Israel

omatto.bsky.social2

But is Scomo back under scrutiny?

chookybum.bsky.social2

The replacement shouldn't be made by Albo. Let Jim do it.

Rocco Dimase2

Until some billionaire buys the social media, and turns it into a misinformation and propaganda dissemination tool. #Auspol

Frau Cernik13

I love David Shoebridge, always comes up with the “ Goods “ 🤩🤩

Is it Lambie or Thorp laughing in the background? It was infectious, I was chuckling too.

AliceK - globalise the innitafucker6

Don Farrell.. gawd. Everything wrong with @australianlabor.bsky.social wrapped into one feeble politician

AussieVox5

Sighting the NACC as an achievement sums up Farrell's career perfectly. A career politician & ALP powerbroker that operates in the shadows & whom is MIA for SA. One could fit his 40 years of political achievements on a postage stamp. Progression through attrition.

Milo Kei4

I believe the term is having 'rings run around' one.

Andy Paterson3

Farrell is a major gaslighter.

Tom Dowling6

Will not be remembered, fondly or otherwise.

aussiewitch.bsky.social5

It would be helpful if the people employed to run the NACC were solicitors ex judges and others who are actually qualified to be there.. instead we have a trump NACC might as well fill the positions with hairdressers and cafe owners

Kevin MacKenzie4

3 years, 220 staff, $200m spent, achieved f*ck all!

MrSrHoges Nurses Care2

For their own reputation Labor must ensure his replacement believes in Justice being seen to be done and being done fearlessly; definitely not protecting ex army mates and undesirables.

Heather2

Good bloody riddance. What a dud

LyndallTerrier2

🥳🎉 So now we need an investigation into NACC's leadership, integrity, triage criteria & effectiveness since its inception? NACC needs to start again with transparency, accountability & a clean slate. imo public trust in this 'anti-corruption' commission has been totally destroyed under Brereton.👿

Mosman Resources2

The first positive step after the misconceived and kafkaesque legislation from our wonderful political duopoly. However replacing Brereton alone will not solve the inherent issues particularly the lack of transparency.

Bruce Porter (Australia)2

Just too much conflict, almost by design. The qualifications of some of the others is really low bar, for such an important commission.

Linda Martin2

Such a relief when something good happens

Terry Sedgwick 🦘 T.S. un ami.4

Another retiree who might fit the bill.
