The Australian national audit office found her to be incompetent when she held the position of deputy secretary of governance at the department of the prime minister and cabinet of Australia. She was also involved in getting scomo sworn in as health minister during covid and keeping it from the public. She has a resume full of bad decisions and underhanded practices, so they gave her a promotion, cost taxpayers more money and delivers the same level of incompetence! At least she's consistent! Who'd have thought getting a bachelor of arts could earn nearly a million dollars per year?
