澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯向单一民族党(One Nation)议员戴维·法利提供一个年薪最高可达20万美元的个人工作人员职位,此举引发了激烈的政治争议 1。针对这一提议,单一民族党领袖保罗琳·汉森强烈谴责这是试图施加不当政治影响的“肮脏交易”,并暗示政府可能将水资源资助作为诱饵以分化该党 1。面对指控,法利本人明确拒绝了该提议,并在声明中驳斥了关于人员配置资源或水政策结果被用作影响其政治立场的说法,称此类观点既不尊重也完全错误 1。他同时强调自己不会离开单一民族党,但表示愿意在党派整体谈判框架下接受帮助 1。
政府方面辩称,向跳槽或叛逃议员提供额外个人工作人员符合此前处理类似情况的惯例,例如前副总理巴纳比·乔伊斯从国家党转投单一民族党后曾获得同等待遇 1。然而,独立参议员法蒂玛·佩曼批评阿尔巴尼斯拒绝给她分配个人工作人员是对其脱离工党的报复行为,凸显出总理在议会个人工作人员分配上拥有绝对权力所引发的公平性质疑 1。
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has provoked a fierce political backlash after offering a parliamentary staff position to David Farley, a member of the One Nation party. The proposal carries an annual salary of up to $200,000 and has been condemned by One Nation leader Pauline Hanson as a "dirty deal" intended to exert undue political influence 1. Hanson suggested that the government might be using water funding as a lure to sway the politician 1.
Farley rejected the offer and firmly denied any intention of leaving his party, stating that claims suggesting staffing resources or policy outcomes were used as bait to affect his political stance were disrespectful and false 1. Despite this rejection, he indicated a willingness to accept assistance within the framework of broader negotiations between parties 1. The government defended its actions by citing precedent, noting that former Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce received similar staff provisions after defecting from the National Party to One Nation 1.
The incident has reignited debates over the extent of the Prime Minister’s authority in allocating personal parliamentary staff. Independent Senator Fatima Payman criticized Albanese for refusing to provide her with individual staff, characterizing the denial as retaliation for her departure from the Labor Party 1. Opposition figures have joined in criticizing the move, framing it as part of a broader controversy regarding executive power in legislative support structures 1.
