Anthony Albanese Mp Leader of the Australian Labor Party Member for Grayndler
ANTHONY ALBANESE MP LEADER OF THE AUSTRALIAN LABOR PARTY MEMBER FOR GRAYNDLER SENATOR KATY GALLAGHER SHADOW MINISTER FOR FINANCE SHADOW MINISTER FOR THE PUBLIC SERVICE MANAGER OF OPPOSITION BUSINESS IN THE SENATE SENATOR FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY LABOR SECURES AGREEMENT TO ESTABLISH SENATE INQUIRY INTO COVID-19 RESPONSE AND RECOVERY Labor has secured an agreement with the Government to establish a cross-party Senate Select Committee into the Government’s response to COVID-19. This Senate Committee, to be chaired by Senator Katy Gallagher, is designed to be a broad and long-ranging vehicle to scrutinise the Government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic including more than $300 billion of expenditure to date. Labor has worked cooperatively with the Government during all stages of the response to this crisis in the national interest. That’s what Australians expect of all of us. The Parliament has an obligation to scrutinise and provide oversight of the Government’s response to ensure Australians are being protected during this crisis. There is no reason why the Parliament should not sit through this crisis. In the absence of the Government’s support for sittings, a Senate Select Committee is the best mechanism to enable this scrutiny as the response phase transitions into recovery over coming months and years. This pandemic has created unprecedented health, economic and social challenges for our nation and this inquiry will be able to consider all of these issues in detail. Senator Gallagher will be joined by Senator Kristina Keneally and Senator Murray Watt as the other Labor members of the Committee. -
