George Christensen seeks to pocket $100k from taxpayers


Dawson MP George Christensen could walk away from politics with a six-figure taxpayer-funded payout if his request to be disendorsed from the Liberal National Party is approved.
Last month, the maverick MP revealed the "time was right" to announce he would not recontest his seat at the upcoming election.
The News Corp publication reported Mr Christensen had since failed to withdraw his nomination and his local branch had requested LNP headquarters overturn its candidate approval and formally reject his nomination to stand at the next election.
If the party disendorses the Dawson MP, he could be eligible for a "resettlement allowance" involving a taxpayer-funded payment of $105,600, or six-months' salary.

$295k price tag for High Court battle over casuals' backpay


The Attorney-General's decision to intervene in a High Court battle over casuals' backpay is expected to cost taxpayers $295,860.
In May last year, the full Federal Court rejected the bid from labour hire firm WorkPac to have a former employee, Robert Rossato, declared a casual employee and not entitled to paid leave.
The ruling meant workers on regular casual shifts would be entitled to seek paid leave.
Attorney-General Christian Porter applied to intervene in the case after the company appealed to the High Court to clarify what casuals should be paid and how offset arrangements should work.
Queensland Labor Senator Murray Watt said it was "unbelievable" the federal government was using taxpayer funds to help a labour hire company.

“I think it’s a really important thing to say thank you, to let people know that we really do care about what’s happening to you and how your lives and families can be affected by (post-traumatic stress disorder) and other things” Childs said.
“So many men are feeling like they can’t really vent or share what they’re going through for fear of losing their jobs, or being judged.

A $10,000 grant will soon supply cooler temperatures for a Calen community hub.
Dawson MP George Christensen said members of the Calen and District War Memorial were successful in their bid for $10,405 to install two air conditioners.
“Of course the airconditioning units will not be installed before Sunday; it’s likely to take a month or so, but at least the people of Calen know that it will be the last time they battle the heat of the hall,” Mr Christensen said.
“In recent years, there has been an incident of a cadet collapsing due to the heat.
“I understand that the hall is used by the RSL and the local school, and other recreation and craft groups will be interested in using it once cooling is installed.”
