An independent watchdog? Yeah right, as if they'd actually listen to it. More committees, more talk, nothing changes.
stuffed, we should be discussing actual policy not this pointless drama.
Nicola Willis trying to look fiscally responsible while her party promised tax cuts they can't fund lol
What we actually need is to stop bickering and fix the roads and hospitals. Who cares who gets the credit, just do it.
nah, nobody's reading that essay mate.
ffs another report nobody reads. How about you guys actually look at where our money's going instead of hiring more suits?

if it means less squabbling and more action, I'm for it. But I'm not holding my breath.
The whole 'watchdog' idea is just a way to kick the can down the road. Both sides do it every election. Wake me up when something real happens.
Willis needs to sort out her own party's spending before pointing fingers. Pot calling the kettle black mate.
facts. Same old same old.
I dunno, at least an independent body could call out the BS. But who appoints them? More political mates.
my point. It'll just be another layer of bureaucracy.
