Minister King's department took 200 questions on notice at Senate estimates. These weren't quirky questions that a department official shouldn't be able to answer. Unfortunately, I think this government, which championed itself as the player of integrity and accountability in Australian politics, has left the citizenry and the Senate wanting because they've done anything but. At every single juncture, when they had the opportunity to stand up, be accountable for decisions, explain them to the public and be responsible for them, they've chosen to hide under a cloak of secrecy.
