Thank you for keeping these scumbags to account Honorable Senator.

Watt, is Nothing but a Useless Slug and He Keeps Proving It !

They're throwing money at a problem that shouldn't EXIST!

Watt is a weasel! Annoying garden gnome voice. Your government this, your government that. Bad leadership! The Labor government took charge knowing what they were facing. Take ownership, Labor has been in charge a while now and achieved nothing! 'Travelling Wilbry' Albo is no leader.

I cry bullshit on his comment about keeping us safe. These crims attacked people again, where is the safety of those people, he is talking out his arse. The High Court should be held accountable for all crimes committed by these crims.

Actions speak louder than words. I see no actions taken to protect us citizens who pay your wages and we elect our representatives to do our wishes.

I wonder how long Watt rehearsed his speech in front of the mirror to himself....he's so unprofessional. Great work Senator James Paterson, you are truly worthy to be addressed as 'honerable' !!

Please resign citizens are not safe under your government

These incompetent bureaucrats must have lessons on hour to talk but say nothing except cover their own failings

James Paterson you are the only intelligent person in there . Keep up the good work .

Geeesuz. More wasted money! Why didn’t they just reject these criminals!

Minister Watts is always saying ‘when you were in Government’ …

My goodness, how many bodies / committees / task forces etc etc do these public servants have … thousands ! Waffle waffle, smoke & mirrors …. we’re all paying for this every single day … it’s infuriating

Why are all his answers based on politics and political parties?? He keeps referring to “your” government- I’m sorry, you work for us, you are our government and we do not appreciate making rules and regulations based on who’s in power. It should be for the good of the people, period👍

it's always the past Govts fault FFS remember they deported a professional tennis player for not taking the Jab that turned out to be Poison 😊

This government is a joke. They don't care about the safety of Australians.

How do nobody's like this Murray Watt character ever get into the Australian Parliament? The guy is a dribbling fool!

Watt…no matter how much money you throw at your problem…you don’t know where these fleeing convicts are….I don’t feel safe😢

Sounds like our court system needs to be dragged through the courts. Labor will come up with a million excuses to pass the buck on thier bad decisions. The Part were he said this government is based on results was absolutely hilarious considering Australians have had no results since Albo has come into power.

The blame game. Just talk about what you’re doing not the past.

10k- 35k of documents for each of the detainees. That just tells me that we have too many bureaucrats.

Hey copper, use the same energy you used to crush peaceful protest during cov. Shameful !

😂 OMG what a load of crap 🤦‍♂️ Thank you senator 🙏🙇‍♂️

Oh look it’s Laurel & Hardy wearing Australian Border Force Uniforms

The minister needs to stop blaming and just get it done. Stop being political. Good work Senator

Well said senator.All the money and meetings that has happened all ready with zero result! Get these criminals to put things in place,I’m sure they are smarter than this group.keep up the good work senator

Slow way to process, leaving the villians to roam free.

Watt-the-eff! He blabbered paragraphs of drivel to say “we’ve done nothing”

Thank you senator James as for the rest blab blab blab. Seriously.

labor are clueless

But if you went for a walk in the bush during the s,c.a,m.d,e.mic, they not only found you, they had boots on the ground to swarm you within moments....

Slimey Watts.....with a slippery tongue.

In short.., they've lost them in the community which is now under threat..., government is still sleeping 😴 💤

Hey Tim, you cant talk your way out of this mess because labor let them out. Dutton knew it was a Pandora's box and he kept the lid shut. When do you think these wonderful citizens will be an asset? 1:41

This panel had Senator Paterson asking a question to the wrong people...this is an intentional waste of Senate time and should be punishable.

Watt haha the your government and this government is a laughing stock they just seem to bury themselves at all the parliamentary meetings

I definately don't feel safe in Australia any more. Im afraid to go out an any foreign looking person i see im startled and on the defensive. We shouldn't be living like this.

I have not received so much trauma as I has since 2019...I need help, law is abused as is oath of office.

So the end result is all the previous governments fault, but we are working hard and have no idea when we might bring these people to some sort of justice if at all. It appears that the group finds it more to blame than to get on with the job. They seem to be wraped up in their own red tape and the offenders must be on their backs in fits of laughter.

Murray lives in the past😂

Mr Watt should come off his high horse! All he has is excuses for failings ...very unprofessional....well done Senator for keeping them honest .

Why is the legal threshold so high for such obvious criminal activities and crimes? 149 NEED to be re-detained!

My 28 year old daughter lives 3 hours from me and she feels unsafe in her community in Qld and even in her own home from which she works from due to poor government immigration policies

Didn't/Don't they have every detainees information on hand at all times, and didn't they have all this information on hand before they were released into the General public?

SOUNDS LIKE NOTHING BUT A BUNCH OF EXCUSES TO ME 🤨

Try Ballarat a lady has gone missing

So much verbal diarrhea coming out of the mouths of these bureaucrats. makes me furious to know they're all getting paid obscene amounts of money to talk utter rubbish.

Lucky they're in Australia.

You have not protected the Australian population

These clowns arent really results driven.

#SACKTHEMALL Especially Mr Piggy.

HONOURABLE my ass , Watt is a disgrace , him and his advisors.

Murry Watt just answer the question, where are the criminal offenders , Australian's don't want excuses we want results.

So let me get this right. A refugee and known murderer can be released from an Australian detention, and commit an offense in a State or Territory, but cannot be charged or held under Australian law and takes months for the appropriate applications to be made for a Court submission before that individual can be apprehended. But the cops can find and handcuff a young pregnant woman in her own home who makes a facebook post saying she is going to attend an protest, and a 70 year old woman attending a protest is slammed backwards onto the asphalt and sprayed in the face twice with pepper spray cops, and cops can fire rubber bullets at their own citizens. Not sure about anyone else, but it seems in Australia refugees have more legal rights than citizens when it comes to Australian law.

its a SETUP

This is like Q and A abc. Stacked deck, pile on against Senator Patterson.

Love the way he had to throw back to the former Government. Thinks it's a scapegoat.

Murray. You can keep your lawyer smart arsisms to yourself. Whilst issues "may have been a possibility under the previous gov't", those issues never came to fruition did they.. but they DID under your gov't didn't they. It was under your watch, NOT that of the previous gov't.

That panel exudes incompetence. 😎👊👍🇦🇺

Paterson is extremely competent... nice to see.

CHAIR MEAN GIRL HELPING LABOR COVER UP

Senator. Thank you, and please keep this gov accountable

Their talking in circles about rapists and murders that shouldn't be in the country in the first place and the government is paying for housing for these people

why is she drinking out of 2 disposable cups? does parliment have no respect for the environment?

"We're keeping Australians safe" "We are about results" "We're always doing the right thing" "Its not our fault, its your fault" This is the kind of rehearsed nonsense that I constantly hear from career politicians who achieve nothing.

The Uniparty rolls on while a nasty little group behind the scenes pulls the strings.

Australia is one of the most savest country..now what happenened?

How much money do these bureaucrats get in salaries? Have they been to a rhetoric course?!

Feeling a little like the Texas border?

PATERSON AND HIS COMMITTEE ARE DOING A GREAT JOB IN ATTEMPTING 2 FIND THE TRUTH AND HOPEFULLY WHO IS ACCOUNTABLE

Do these guys actually get paid for not answering, no idea,lies, cover-ups??

These records should of been submitted before the court even made a decision on letting the crims out so you should all be sacked for failing the people of Australia

Revamp the courts and high courts will cost the taxpayers less. We’ve seen what comes out of universities these days and imagine they are our judges 😂😂😂

Put pictures out on the intenet so we can keep an eye on them ourselves

This Watt character must get paid by the syllable!

One dept hand-balling to the other, no body knows anything, nobody is doing anything, nobody is taking responsibility for anything and the clowns on the merry continue to go round and round where it stops nobody knows. Only interested in pointing the finger at others instead of doing what they’re paid handsomely to do. Sack the lot of them. What a farce and disrespect from these people to a Senator who sits in position of authority above them. Keep turning up the heat Senator, much respect to you Sir.

The criminals are still walking the streets

They would rather advertise what they don’t do versus answering the question.

Waffle - Waffle - Waffle... We have a problem, JUST FIX IT FFS!!!!

I think the public want you public servants to get off your ass and do something stop tjetalk and do some work

Why are we wasting our time in processing criminals when law abiding applicants have been waiting for years?

This goverment is a disgace

I just love he is meant to be responding to the questions but he turned the questioning back to LNP. The Senator is looking for answers and just shows how incompetent the Labor are as they do not take any responsibility for their actions. And now the chair is again siding with Labor and really they need to be independent so that the right questioned are answered instead of passing the buck

Thanks Senator - please make sure to get these people and keep us safe 🙏🙏

They absolutely hate you due to your incisive questioning. I have never seen such obfustication and abnegation of responsibility. From people supposedly working for us! All care and NO responsibility. As for the minister he needs a reality check. He is in charge and he needs to work! Sounds like a puerile student activist waffling on utopia and crying it’s not my fault. It’s a wonder he doesn’t go on compo from all this stress.

Imagine making the main point of your answer about what the other government was doing rather then focusing on what effect your own governments decisions have made.

Same old Labor, always looking backwards and looking for excuses instead of getting on with the job!

So he explains their incompetence and still these criminals are free and their whereabouts aren't known.

They should be fined oit of their own pockets for every minute they waste of not answering questions.

The lady in red is a wasted space....with all her energy god help the public

Draging the ball easy to get something done they want but difficult to do if not wanted by them

they dont want to do anything....complete obfuscation of the truth

The "Community Protection Board" and Judges should be held criminally accountable for the actions of the people who but for their intervention would have been deported or in prison.

Watts. God help us. 🥴

Murray is full of it.

Well, If you cant do your job senator Watt, then move over and let someone else that CAN. Next Election you guys are OUT.

Keep up the great work Patto

I reckon he should stay to things he knows "like the price of pork" but when there over hundred criminals on our streets and the Minister has no urgency. Deport them a criminal is criminal. These experts go to another expert and then to another expert. A criminal is a criminal. They go on about previous government when there is urgency to get these people off the streets now.

Hope they fire these idiots

Wewaist millions of dollars on all this mob talking about problems instead of just fixn them
