Senator Malcolm Roberts accused Prime Minister Albanese of abusing his power by slashing parliamentary staff for One Nation senators while protecting allies. He detailed how crossbench senators who support Labor retained their full staffing, while those who hold the government accountable — including One Nation and Senator Ralph Babet — saw their resources halved. Roberts argued this undermines fairness, democracy, and accountability, warning the Prime Minister’s actions breach principles of administrative law and reveal fear of One Nation’s growing influence.
