Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong has again been exposed lying and deflecting in parliament when asked questions about the proposed $17 billion gas tax by The Greens Senator Steph Hodgins-May as per the below video.

While it is now standard practice for Senator Penny Wong to lie, deceive and deflect when asked questions she does not like, it is also becoming obvious that The Greens see Penny Wong as a weak link for the Labor Party government.

When the Labor Party was in opposition from 2013 until 2022, Penny Wong built a cult following, holding the Liberal Party / National Party coalition government accountable by putting tough questions to ministers in the Senate and during Senate estimates hearings.

The irony is Senator Penny Wong spent 9 years exposing lies, deception and deceit by the Liberal Party / National Party coalition government, and now Senator Penny Wong is herself being exposed for lies, deception and deceit.

In the below video, The Greens Senator Steph Hodgins-May asks Penny Wong questions about the $17 billion gas tax, with 2 of Senator Hodgins-May best quotes being:

“It’s a remarkable coincidence that what Labor says is best for Australians is always, always, what’s best for those multi-national gas corporations, what a coincidence” and “Labor is working for the gas industry, working for their big donors.”

The Greens Senator David Shoebridge also makes an appearance at the end of the video and gives Senator Penny Wong a 3-minute spray, which is worth watching the video for by itself.

Penny Wong’s lies about the proposed $17 billion gas tax, which The Greens and others will drive until it happens, go with Penny Wong’s lies about Israel and Gaza, which I have written about before. (Click here to read previous articles on Penny Wong)

It was only back in July 2025 that Penny Wong said Australia sends “Non-lethal” F-35 Fighter Jet parts to Israel as per the below video. The same F-35 Fighter Jets that Israel uses to bomb Gaza and other parts of the Middle East killing thousands.

Given The Greens only have one MP in the lower house, Elizabeth Watson-Brown, but have 11 Senators in the upper house, it is no surprise they spend more time exposing Senator Penny Wong’s failings than they do anyone else in parliament.

Besides Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Senator Penny Wong has probably done more damage to the credibility of the federal government than any other federal Labor Party politician, and she will be a major liability come the 2028 federal election.

If The Greens are believers in the saying “When you’re on a good thing, stick to it,” then they should continue to focus a lot of their attack on the government’s failings at Senator Penny Wong.

If Senator Penny Wong, who has been in parliament 25 years since 2001, were to retire before the 2028 federal election, she would be doing the Labor Party a huge favour, as she would no longer be a drag on Labor’s vote.

Penny Wong is a prime example of why politicians should face term limits. After 25 years in Parliament, her tenure highlights the risks of having career politicians.

Admin: Thirty weeks ago, I launched a campaign with a simple goal: find 200 new monthly supporters so I can keep doing this work as a fully independent journalist, running this website and the YouTube channel without corporate backing or paywalls.

Since then, 188 wonderful people have stepped up and become monthly supporters. That’s huge, thank you!

We’re now at 12 to go.

If you’ve been enjoying the work and aren’t yet supporting monthly, I’d be incredibly grateful if you’d consider joining them. Here’s the situation:

Like most independent journalists, I’m basically a one-person small business. Right now, a lot of us are feeling the squeeze, just like many small businesses and households are. To stay afloat and keep bringing you the reporting I do, I need roughly 200 more people chipping in whatever they can comfortably afford each month.

Anything from $3 to $100 (or whatever works for your budget) makes a real difference. There’s no lock-in, you can cancel or adjust anytime.
