The process doesn't preclude the government from deciding to properly fund you.
I have the fiscal update here, with over $60 billion in deficits. There are a whole bunch of chapters and line items that basically just reinforce existing government messaging.
How difficult would it have been for the government to say that as part of this, it's going to satisfy the funding requests of independent officers of Parliament to allow them to do their work?
Surely the government would have had the power to announce that spending, yet it chose not to. Why do you think the government has chosen not to, at a time when it's facing all of these scandals? Why does it choose to not put the money into allowing you to do your work?
