@tonyryan43 Facism is practised very much by the socialist left. Hitler was a nationalist Socialist and Mussolini paid the price at the very hands of the Italian people.
The thing is, unlike the US to a large degree, a change of government here has no direct effect on bureaucrats (though there have been exceptions). Bottom line is that they still will have the same job!!!
Exactly. Thank God for Senator Paterson. Australia needs a Royal Commission into Albanese's life long support for the plo. This support has emboldened the antisemitism that has been prevalent since October 7 2023. Sack the lady with the word salad answers.
These clowns are beyond belief! What is going on???? Thank you for your great work, Senator. Keep these grubs squirming in their guilty, incompetent seats.
This woman must be sacked her decision to remove our Australian flag which oir forefathers fought for has now gone viral SHE HAS NO AUTHORITY OR RIGHT TO REMOVE OUR FLAG AUSTRALIANS PAY HER VERY GENEROUS SALARY
Oh um oh um . She is always so incompetent. Must love Labour for her position in the publis service. Borderline corruption. Waste of tax payers money. Obviously doesn't have any KPI's to achieve???
It would be a horrible event to happen but I feel that you are right, it is only a matter of time and these muppets in the Home Affairs office will be none the wiser.
Senator Paterson, you give us hope that sanity may prevail. How you remain so calm and controlled dealing with the self righteous arrogance of Watt is beyond imagination.
My god we are so sick and tired of listening to such utter bullshit from such incompetent people it's truly baffling for your fellow Australians to have to endure such intolerable nonsense
@hahahaha-qu6uv they get a job in the public service then apply for the position, the public service then puts them through uni,then they get the job as long as they support the left and wef protocol
These Public Servants yes SERVANT they are to serve the PUBLIC not their individual beliefs and the sooner the LEFTIES GET OUT OF GOVERNMENT the BETTER
the best thing we can do us vote the ALP/GREENS out the women with the grey had portraits redone that removed the Australian flag that hang in our parliament...again vote them out ..Thank you Senator Paterson these people do not want to even try to keep us safe ..
This department sounds like a taxpayers money pit, snouts in troughs, leaving our community in danger. The minister at the top of this, Murray Watt, appears to be a splendid example of a smug, self serving, useless career politician.
We are in real trouble with people like that being allowed into Australia and its obvious that the government wants those people. We must get rid of this government.
Well done Senator Patterson making these clowns look ordinary and a waste of taxpayers money. Labor wouldn’t know security even if their lives depended on it ,but they are happy to throw Australians under the bus.
Who on earth are these idiotic people working as public servants & they certainly don’t appear keeping Australia safe? Thank you Senator Paterson brining this to the attention of all Australians. It appears to be a huge worry.
How are we giving visas to people that a simple Google search shows they are the type of people we shouldn’t let anywhere near our country, the Home Affairs Minister needs to take the job we elected him to do seriously.
Yes I agree with you 100%, but he did not turn up for the hearing. Instead this muppet Watt turned up and he is as arrogant as they come I can't stand the guy. He's the mungral who is all for killing off the live sheep industry in W A.
The old lady with the weird haircut doesn't convince me our affairs at home are in capable hands. I get the impression from her amateurish gibberish that she doesn't know types like Elhasani are professionals.
Oh I think she does know about this individual she just refuses to answer any questions period. Oh, and on the subject of the deletion of the Australian flag on the officials photos she is just being an arse on that and showing her contempt over the Australian flag and the people of Australia, so if she does not like the flag of Australia she does not deserve to hold such a position of responsibility in the public service. Just my opinion of course but if I had the authority I would sake her.
Senator Patterson has his strong views of this country in line with the bulk of Australians concerns well done done to him in confronting these waste of taxpayers money we are frustrated with
Why is the Department precluded from commenting on this person?? We pay their wages they are employed by us and they are accountable to us. Sen Patterson is asking questions on OUR behalf!!!
@@hanajinks1044 The hypocrisy is there, Candace Owens is anti-Israel, but does not support Hamas and their actions, as far as I know. She just thinks Israel is not Jewish land, meaning this government, loves terrorist money.
Checking her finger nails whilst answering!! Makes it blatantly obvious to me she does not take her job seriously, do they realise we are actually watching them not giving a flying f…..ox about our safety!!! What an absolutely astounding bunch of stuttering, muttering jokes!
I am so appreciative of the diligent work that you do. Keep pressing out elected officials for their actions or inactions which seems to be more the point. Enough is enough. We need to replace all offices that do not govern our country to a high standard of accountability.
Who is this totally unprepared public servant? This is the Australian Senate. How disrespectful of her to take almost everything “on notice.” If she can’t do her job then maybe she’s out of her depth. Thanks Senator Paterson.
Patterson, thankyou . I would make an educated guess , that there is a three degrees of separation to that Visa to that person being approved ; in that , it will be either one of two things behind the process being made so simple for the person in question. a) the man has a buddy , friend of a friend who allowed it to be processed without resistance , because that friend of a friend , has a romantic interest in one of his nieces , or daughters , or best friend's daughters . Something in that ball park. OR , it is a kickback situation whereby there has been a significant "donation" been handed under the table , in order to have that gone through , without fanfare or too much scrutiny and readily stamped with the stamper . Patterson . Either one of those scenarios and maybe both of those combined . Perhaps. That is my educated guess on it . 😔🇦🇺
Somebody please remind these people that they're sitting before a Senate committee answering to the Australian people and they can damn well answer straightforwrd questions and be accountable.
I hope Patterson has PM ambitions in the future. We should not accept anyone from Gaza full stop. These public servants are so incompetent it beggars belief.
Senator Patterson, when you’re in power next year, can you please remember how the Australian people feel about these visas being given to very questionable individuals.
As for Watt being sarcastic and saying to Senator Paterson, "...if you are so concerned ( about visas being given to front line supporters of terrorist organisations) you should take it up with ASIO...!!". News flash for you Watt. Most decent Australians are concerned that a terrorist support should be allowed into Australia. Your department is responsible for the visas. Australia needs a Royal Commission into Albanese's life long support for the PLO.
James Paterson your wonderful how do you put up with these people you question they never answer you ,they skip around the question they keep making you look asif you don't know your job i am sickof these people .
I would like to know what Burke, Giles and O'Neil know about this, watt obviously doesn't know or is covering up as he usually has more to say, nothing of consequence but still has plenty to say
Australia is a great country, with potential unlimited. To be able to use that potential, it might be a good idea to remove those who are openly not interested in working for the country. Seems there are quite a few on the public purse who fit this description.
I find it most offensive that bureaucrats act as if they are not accountable to elected persons who represent all Australians. Public servants who do not answer questions do NOT deserve to keep their jobs. Tony Burke DOES NOT have the best interests of the Australian people at heart. Nobody with links to a terrorist group should be permitted to enter Australia!!!
With the contemporary Australian Commonwealth Public Service , it would appear that staff are recruited on the basis possessing a First Class degree in obfuscation ! Shameful, shameful, shameful ! They come across as completely politically compromised or completely inept .
Politically naive public servants don't get promoted to senior levels. They are as accomplished as politicians in not answering questions, particularly important questions. And the Minister present seems to be responding in a deliberately obtuse and disingenuous way. Why? The questions were asked clearly and unambiguously. The evidence was clear. The request for clarification was pertinent. They (finally) pointed to the possibly compromising impact on possible reconsideration of visa status. Hmmm ... I wonder whether it was less a matter of adhering to security protocols, and rather a concern that any answer they dared to give would not have been acceptable to the wider Australian public. Please answer the questions Ms Foster and Minister - they concern the safety of my fellow Australians and it is not unfair, unkind or unjust for us to hold you to account for the decisions you take which affect us all. Simply put, we expect you to do the job that we taxpayers pay you to do.
That went out the window a long time ago buddy. Your living under communism now, all thats left is to take away the right to private property which is not far away and will be implemented under the guise of the government controlling all land and resources to fight climate change and save the planet. You probably should of listened to those 'conspiracy theorists' when there was still a chance to stop it. Too late now
Bravo Senator Patterson!
Bravissimo!

All on the Labor gravy train
Senator Paterson for PM
I can't believe my ears, these jokers have to go next year. Can't wait.
The thing is, unlike the US to a large degree, a change of government here has no direct effect on bureaucrats (though there have been exceptions). Bottom line is that they still will have the same job!!!
@@michaelnewton-w4m Yes I understand, its a great problem, something needs to be reviewed, far too well heeled and full of hubris.
These public servants have to be accountable, for these decisions
They love passing the buck 🤦♀️
Treasonous behaviour
What ever happened to the PMs election promise of being the most open and transparent government ever. All I am seeing is the opposite.
And this is what our taxes are paying for!!! They don't even know who is supposed to do what. Man, we are so broken.
Senator patterson you make us better! These people are clueless.
Exactly. Thank God for Senator Paterson. Australia needs a Royal Commission into Albanese's life long support for the plo. This support has emboldened the antisemitism that has been prevalent since October 7 2023. Sack the lady with the word salad answers.

They definitely don’t serve the public
There is a real creepiness. Its making robodebt look like a cake walk.
Oh um oh um . She is always so incompetent. Must love Labour for her position in the publis service. Borderline corruption. Waste of tax payers money. Obviously doesn't have any KPI's to achieve???
Another Failure how these people hold their positions in government is unacceptable
When not if but when there is a terrorist attack in Australia, these people should be held accountable.
It would be a horrible event to happen but I feel that you are right, it is only a matter of time and these muppets in the Home Affairs office will be none the wiser.
Senator Paterson, you give us hope that sanity may prevail. How you remain so calm and controlled dealing with the self righteous arrogance of Watt is beyond imagination.
Yep , he is amazingly cool & smart
Minister Watt is an expert at weasel words.
Watt is too dumb. How can Australia not have enough intelligent people to hold senior positions on huge remuneration packages running into millions.
Watt is useless
Watts needs a right and left reality check.
The king of weasel,and so arrogant!
@ but so dumb 😂
The reason that Fayez Elhasani is not being deported is because of a bunch of marginal seats that the ALP is concerned about.
To true
Burke is Australia’s #1 traitor
Watt (and presumably the Labor Party) are clearly not concerned about the individual concerned and the threat posed to Australia
Correct. As usual they pass the responsibility to another agency so any mistakes can be sheeted back to that agency.
Of course they're not - Labor welcomes their future voting bloc.
My god we are so sick and tired of listening to such utter bullshit from such incompetent people it's truly baffling for your fellow Australians to have to endure such intolerable nonsense
That's exactly how Morrison sounded when he gave evidence to the commissioner at the 'Robodebt' Royal Commission.
Fayez Elhasani, does not meet ANY Character test.
Response " uuummm"
The character of a terrorist
that foster woman needs to be sacked waste of taxpayers money doing a Sargent Schulz I know nothing but will take it on notice fckn joke this mob
Uuuuuuuuuuuummmmmm. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmm????????? How in hell did they get these jobs and salaries???
@hahahaha-qu6uv they get a job in the public service then apply for the position, the public service then puts them through uni,then they get the job as long as they support the left and wef protocol
Great work J.P.
These Public Servants yes SERVANT they are to serve the PUBLIC not their individual beliefs and the sooner the LEFTIES GET OUT OF GOVERNMENT the BETTER
The left has been completely captured.
WTF! what sort of backhanded deal did the Terrorist do for a Visa?
Just ask Senator Penny Wong et al.
Ask Dutton he allowed murderers rapist etc etc to enter and stay in australia,why didn't he gets rid of all these criminals
The department needs a very big clean out. They don’t seem to worry about security of Australia except to give money to anybody
Watts ALWAYS pivots to the previous government. How dare Watts defend the Home Affairs department. Watts also is accountable to we the people!
the best thing we can do us vote the ALP/GREENS out the women with the grey had portraits redone that removed the Australian flag that hang in our parliament...again vote them out ..Thank you Senator Paterson these people do not want to even try to keep us safe ..

How could you believe anything Murray Watt says
The strange death of Australia😢🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲

Agreed. Cannot bear listening to her ‘dulcet’ tones. Would love to eavesdrop a conversation between her and her husband
Comment of the week right there!! Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I wouldn’t let anywhere close to my grandchildren 😡
Leave our flag alone !
Good work Senator Paterson! You are doing a great job in your role and you are making a positive difference. Keep the pluck ing buzzards honest.👏👏👍👍
They know exactly what they are doing. Snakes!
They are exactly suitable for the uniparty. They dare not say anything.
