Julianne Stewart has secured two-year contract despite agency employing 200 media and communication staff
Appearing in Senate estimates on Monday, Services Australia confirmed Julianne Stewart has secured a government contract worth about $300,000 a year, which is in its second year. The arrangement came to light after the tender was published on the government’s AusTender website.
Stewart’s LinkedIn profile states she has been in the role for a year and nine months and provides “contract speechwriting services to Services Australia and the Hon Bill Shorten, MP, Minister for Government Services and the NDIS.” Services Australia officials said Stewart commuted from Sydney to Canberra for the role and confirmed the department had not written speeches for the minister in the past 12 months.
