Don't Say the G Word: Pauline's Jet, Albo's Gas Cave, and the Inquiry That Won't Name the Tenant

Hanson takes a plane from Rinehart, Albanese rolls over for the gas cartel, and a royal commission can't bring itself to say the word everyone's thinking. The owners are different but the lease arrangement is the same.

Hanson's flying around in a jet courtesy of Gina, Albanese's signed the gas cartel's permission slip, and the Bondi inquiry's tiptoeing around the G-word like it's the bloke's name at a wake. Different rorts, same landlords. The donors get the lease, the public gets the inspection report.
