A public servant, being paid 450k per year, refusing to answer a senators question in a hearing, and cites PRIVACY as his reason?!! We are over governed, and they are overpaid. We need a political overhaul.
These beaurocratic politicians defy accountability and integrity because they are part of an elite culture of corporate brats funded by the taxpayers. We the people want answers and transparency.
Australia really is screwed,and they want to stop free speech with their disinformation policies,and the people setting this up to take away our freedom of speech are getting the same sort of enumeration,there is more tax payer funding to spy on Australian people and to reduce our standard of living,our government hate us,that is obvious!@
that bloody chair asking for the 15 min break should be sacked on the spot, the senator was right in the middle of questioning and the 15-min break gave it all up.. Most politicians including those working in the admin should be sacked and put in prison.
This bloke gave up his right to privacy when he took a government role and receiving a taxpayer funded salary. If he based the job allocation on an affair he was having, then both he and his mistress should be held to account and dismissed from office.
If we asked him what his name is, he would have to take it on notice & get back to us. Slippery characters, focused on themselves instead of their job paid by fellow Australian citzens. Not accountable like normal humans ??
In a country where we have state hospitals ramping, people living in tents, people waiting weeks to see a doctor..we have public 'servants' being paid $450k? Who is working for who?
Blue has been the identifying color of various factions in history. In the mid-1600s the Scottish Covenanters, who pledged to uphold Presbyterianism, were called true blue (as opposed to red , the color of the royalists). In the 1800s the same term came to mean “staunchly Tory,” and in America, “politically sound.
That’s exactly what I done as well,straight to the calculator to work out the wages 🤬🤯 I can’t help but think just how many others there are on the public purse making this kind of money ? When the government say they can’t afford the pension system I wonder if it’s their own pension they are talking about ?
When you take home half a mil of our tax money working in a government portfolio you surrender any right to privacy 'in the workplace'. Well done Sn Roberts.
Every single one of these people in Parliament house are nothing but a liar and a shame and if you keep giving money out, why don’t you give the money that you owed people and New South Wales insurance?
1. You laydees like shameless corruption when you make money from it. For example the divorce courts. My wife was "awarded" 95% of my assets gained over 25 years of working. You laydees are fine with that.
3. You laydees have not had the guts to face me in public for 16 years over the crimes you support in the divorce courts. Now we will settle these matters with "opposite of peacefully".
How can you apply for one of these jobs. Sounds like any body can do the job. I wonder if 400 plus is based at entry level . Australia needs a Trump style Government to drain the swamp. VOTE ONE NATION ❤
Yeah...Trump had 4 years and didn't do anything. Could have at least pardoned Julian Assange when he pardoned dozens of less deserving individuals. RFK is being dragged through the mud because he presents a real opportunity for change. He is what Trump presented himself as. But swap Trump for RFK and I agree with the above statement.
Trump did what he needed to do, and that was to expose the entire deep state for what it is. Media, government, military, pharmaceutical, cia, fbi, judges and more. How many of us, would have known the extent of corruption within the entire hierarchy of the US and then could really see it within our own governmental system?? Nothing in the upper echelons of society can be exposed and rectified within the short space of time that Trump was in power, and we were not privy to what he put in place whilst in power, but I am greatful to him for not only exposing the US government Uniparty, but our own as well.
From a employment perspective he is most proably allowed to. Malcolm willfully lies to his voters himself. Won't answer questions such what is he doing about the $2.4 billion medical bill from coal related deseases each yr.. Are you happy about people dying form these desease. Consider he was a coal mine manager you would think he would be concern. Or was he one of the managers to cut dust suppression to save money for the company over workers health.
No wonder this country is going down the drain , A person that doesn't know how much he is getting paid is a down right Lie , Way over paid ,this country government needs a Clean out ??????
It took SO LONG to respond, it is not surprising that he couldn’t carry his workload. He needs to resign from office due to inability to directly answer all questions especially on that wage.
actually that is the central banks fault, they loan out basically infinite amount of money that means the price of homes skyrocket to insane 6-7 figures, the central banks are at fault they create money out of thin air, it is all IOU money which is a form of fraud they're relying on the person who gets the loan to pay it back and they might never pay it back, if everyone tried to withdraw their money from the banks they don't have the physical cash.
For two (2) employees we are paying over eight hundred thousand, think about that people, two (2) people. And he mentions that he has 1200 persons under him. Hell this is at the point where we need a very big clean out of the public service.
I'd like to see CCTV cameras installed in their workplaces and their homes. It's the public that should be watching our government and its fat cat bureaucrats .. not the other way around as it is now!
Chair is uncomfortable…perhaps that’s why a break was called. Perhaps investigate those chosen to take THAT position. You will most likely find a cesspool there also. The “chair” seems to always set the advantage for corruption to remain hidden.
For university educated people these high ranked government officials are not very eloquent when it comes to answering questions just like Albo they use a lot of umms and uhhs whilst making up their lies
The 17 yr old William Shackles of Nuclear for Australia can talk way better than any of these bureaucrats without one single uhg or any kind of pause because he knows exactly what he represents.
Q: How much are you paid? A: Um, I'm not sure, but here's a "quantum" figure. Every other corrupt swamp comment he made aside, that alone should be enough for most people in Australia to feel sick, disgusted and fed up with the miserable leeches in our bureaucracy.
When you get that much money you do not have to keep track of it. Not like the everyday guy who knows he has a, let's say, electric bill to pay. He knows his income. God this Stefanic guy is dull.
Accountability & integrity? Privacy Rights? Violated privacy rights? Answer the questions! These Enquiries need to be Open to the Public. These overpaid bureaucrats are driving/steering our Country way off Track! Thank you Senator Roberts.
He reluctantly declared he did not have a romantic relationship with his deputy while he was her boss. He refused to answer whether he had a romantic relationship with her before or after hiring her - which can only reasonably mean he did. This matters because, even if the merit selection process was above board, his recommendation would have carried serious weight with the selection committee. So, whether or not he had a romantic relationship with her afterwards might not be relevant, whether he had one before being her boss is highly relevant indeed for the perception of conflict of interest. Of course if he had a romantic relationship with her at any time that is something he very much does not want to disclose, because even if he thought there was no real conflict of interest, I'd strongly suggest he did not want his family to know for certain that he had been adulterous.
Makes me sick to guts to watch this crap, what an absolute disgrace. If we did this kind of stuff ( ripping the system off blind) running our private business we would go to jail. But anyone connected to the government can bleed the system dry. No wonder I left Australia and won't be coming back.
Thank you Senator Malcolm Roberts for asking the hard questions. These people like Rob Stefanic are what is wrong with the world at the moment. A Yes or No answer is all that is required, because you play the victim we can no longer trust your integrity.
Ha, not surprising, this grifter gave his girlfriend a high paying job off his own bat! Corruption is like Rust, It never sleeps! He'll get more roots for doing that 😂🤣
That man has GUILTY ALL Over him. Theyve made a Fortune off the Australian public. Like Spain They all should be investigated and Sacked. SAVE Our Money. How Dare they get paid so much. Its OUTRAGEOUS. And Not needed.
Exactly, the reliance upon legalese as offered by lawyers on behalf of government is outright deception and used to mitigate accountability and transparency, the whole lot of these parasites need to be exposed and prosecuted for fraudulent misrepresentation. Lawyers are complicit in the scam by deliberately using legalese and obfuscation to create the facade of plausible deniability and acting in good faith as an escape route for the unethical and corrupt. Disgusting humans.
So it's pretty obvious that Rob and Cate were a thing, as far as I know, APS rules preclude romantic relationships between managers and supervisory staff for obvious reasons. It's also obvious both should face an APS board of enquiry and face the consequences if they are found to have breached the APS code of conduct. The sideways step to Services Australia is a cover-up. They both should be referred to an APS board of Enquiry for breach of APC codes of Conduct.
Anyone being paid with taxpayer money needs to answer any questions ask by the senate. There is no excuse to not answer questions. Malcolm is right taxpayers have a right to know.
How on earth are we paying a public servant $450 K
Put them on jobstart lol
@@Laskaaaaaa-j7l They are already on job start, every month. They get paid is one years job start allowance.
They set their own wages mate
Good liars are highly valued by our government.
It’s a loop , the public servants that approve the politicians pay rises have their pay rises approved by politicians
A public servant, being paid 450k per year, refusing to answer a senators question in a hearing, and cites PRIVACY as his reason?!!
We are over governed, and they are overpaid. We need a political overhaul.
Have a look at Malcolms short précis of the topic. This character was paid $478,000 per year , not under 450,000 that he stated when quizzed.
That is why they are called FAT CATS for a reason
These beaurocratic politicians defy accountability and integrity because they are part of an elite culture of corporate brats funded by the taxpayers. We the people want answers and transparency.
And they are the worst of us, just look how they are caught out being liars, cheats and thieves 😤
That’s nothing. Most department/agency heads earn around $800k per annum. Snouts in the trough.
How corrupt is Australian politics, thank you Senator for exposing there lies & deceit.
Their!
Not just pollies…right through gov😂😂😂😂
So, he is the victim, because he has been caught out?
Typical.
Enough of this greedy corrupt rubbish.
Australia really is screwed,and they want to stop free speech with their disinformation policies,and the people setting this up to take away our freedom of speech are getting the same sort of enumeration,there is more tax payer funding to spy on Australian people and to reduce our standard of living,our government hate us,that is obvious!@

Absolutely as guilty as sin, shagging his assistant. Where have we heard that before Bill Clinton?

Thank you Senator Roberts! YOU represent what Integrity is about.
Every single one of these people in Parliament house are nothing but a liar and a shame and if you keep giving money out, why don’t you give the money that you owed people and New South Wales insurance?
Yet you have done nothing to help me. Boo hoo.
Shameless corruption
1. You laydees like shameless corruption when you make money from it. For example the divorce courts. My wife was "awarded" 95% of my assets gained over 25 years of working. You laydees are fine with that.
2. The universal support of shameless corruption by laydees is exactly why Rowan Baxter "ended" Hannah Clarke and HER three children.
3. You laydees have not had the guts to face me in public for 16 years over the crimes you support in the divorce courts. Now we will settle these matters with "opposite of peacefully".
How can you apply for one of these jobs. Sounds like any body can do the job. I wonder if 400 plus is based at entry level . Australia needs a Trump style Government to drain the swamp. VOTE ONE NATION ❤
We need the Argentina prime minister to fix this country and get rid of all these useless idiots
Trump style lol. Trump had 4 years and didn't drain squat and had Rhinos all around him
you sleep with the boss like Cate Saunders did
Yeah...Trump had 4 years and didn't do anything. Could have at least pardoned Julian Assange when he pardoned dozens of less deserving individuals.

Good on you Malcolm for protecting Australians
Alot of hustlers in the Australian gov and all the beauracratic depts...
Keep shining your light senator...your a champion...👏👏👏👏👏love your work🙂
You should have asked "How long was your floozy in the fake job?", "How old was she when she got another $315,000 retirement jackpot?".
Doesn't even know how much he earns, yeah right
I want a job that it doesn't matter how much I earn because who would care once your yearly income was over $400,000. Not a problem in the world.
From a employment perspective he is most proably allowed to.
Malcolm willfully lies to his voters himself.
Won't answer questions such what is he doing about the $2.4 billion medical bill from coal related deseases each yr..

It took SO LONG to respond, it is not surprising that he couldn’t carry his workload. He needs to resign from office due to inability to directly answer all questions especially on that wage.
Thank you Senator Roberts - keep exposing the corruption. How many people can back off a failed relationship with tax payer funds
Another extremely over paid liar
No wonder we have a cost of living crisis.
All by design
Because all federal reserves printed money beyond believe. This is just entertainment.
actually that is the central banks fault, they loan out basically infinite amount of money that means the price of homes skyrocket to insane 6-7 figures, the central banks are at fault they create money out of thin air, it is all IOU money which is a form of fraud they're relying on the person who gets the loan to pay it back and they might never pay it back, if everyone tried to withdraw their money from the banks they don't have the physical cash.

Corruption
Exactly Mal, if he has nothing to hide, answer the question.
Why did Stefanic have to ask permission to say "No" about the relationship?
That's 42 + pensioners money in one year to live on. Paying rent food electric, fuel and other bills.
Wow no one should be getting paid this kind of money, I don't care what their job is, their performance does not reflect this amount.
All these criminals should have to provide a performance review after each month in Service To The People who pay these Taxes being abused!
@@troothseeker7312 That sounds an even better idea.
What a grub. $400K+. Tax payers should be Outraged
It's obvious that he was in a romantic relationship
He could simply say no if that wasn't the case. His refusal to answer what he regards as "a personal question" leads us to assume his guilt.
@@GazGuitarz They are building a house together.

Im sick of paying HUGE taxes for this kind of wastage.
yes or no, is it that fkn hard. Only a guilty person takes that long to not answer questions, it's not a mystery.
Excellent - keep up this outstanding work please Senator !!!
The goings and comings of The Bureaucrats is so unimpressive and so Expensive. A huge burden on tax payer's.
Why does listening to politicians lie make me feel sick?
These people use the same words but a different dictionary!
