Only below mentioned under porter currently ,in ur site:
Illegally appointed a Liberal Party Senator to a high-ranking high-paying role at the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. The candidate was not eligible because she was not an enrolled legal practitioner. She has no experience in the field (social services and child support law). She will be paid $500,000 per year. The government lied by claiming she was appointed on merit, but the interviewers did not interview her, and did not recommend her

What's a plum job? That's a strange term to use. It's not related to plums?

I'll go through and add them

Sorry for late comment. Gov jobs that are like judges in various tribunals but are paid 500k. Lnp did it last election too through portet and its already listed. But now Cash & Taylor are doing it again

Spent $2.4 billion on French submarines that were never built. (In addition to the undisclosed fee for early contract termination, which is approximately $400 million.)
