Mr Byers was appointed to chair the ERAC by former emissions reduction minister Angus Taylor in 2021. Ms Thomson was another Coalition appointment, and works for the cement industry peak body, the Cement Industry Federation.Ms Thomson and Mr Byers had been accused of conflicts of interest, which the Australia Institute argued made their positions untenable —The potential for conflicts of interest meant that in some instances, Mr Byers and Ms Thomson stood aside from certain discussions.
Ms Thomson told the ABC the only reason she resigned was to spend more time caring for her elderly parents.
It will be a test if the new Govt is tough. Set up an ICAC asap , get the rorters in jail Then the root of corruption is nibbed before it becomes a culture like in Sri Lanka
It will always be a rort, until it becomes a scam
Hopefully those disgraceful AAT and FWC appointments are high on the AGs hit list.
Now the carbon credits can have some integrity
Imagine having a former fossil fuel executive (and mining lobbyist) as Chairman of the committee that decides carbon credits, along with an executive of one of the highest emitting industries in Australia - Concrete production
Hurrah and good riddance. Hope they have to sell their overpriced houses.
Resigned? Impaled on a spike didn’t cross anyone’s mind?
Almost a decade of rorts, schemes & scams. So glad Labor is back in power. Fed ICAC will keep the bastards honest. Now...where's that Barilaro bludger at?
all from club barilaro
Aren’t all carbon credits a rort?
Nah, the major cleanout will be when ABC & other climate cultists lam it to South America. Sri Lankan style.
All these appointments are dodgy.
Another day and another episode of LiberalAus corruption is uncovered LNPCorruptionParty
These carbon emission schemes are a 'rort'.
