@gerardrennick70: Let them eat cake indeed! Anika Wells will be lucky to hold onto her seat at the next election for her abuse of taxpayer dollars. It’s ironic her profile was written by Julia Gillard - the architect of the NDIS - the biggest taxpayer rort of all. To clean up the Canberra rot become a member today at Peoplefirstparty.au •••••••••••••••••• “Communications Minister Anika Wells has been named one of the world's most influential rising stars by TIME magazine after spearheading the Albanese government's social media ban for under-16s - despite facing criticism from Aussies for racking up a $90,000 taxpayer-funded trip to New York to promote the policy. The international recognition comes as Wells remains under scrutiny over her use of ministerial travel perks and taxpayer-funded expenses. Critics have argued that some of Wells' travel expenses, including trips involving her lobbyist husband, do not pass the pub test. Wells' profile in the list was written by former Prime Minister Julia Gillard, who hailed the Labor minister as a leading figure in the international push to rein in the power of social media companies and better protect children online.”
