Parliament’s Audit Committee has launched a new inquiry into the alleged tech lobbying scandal embroiling Services Australia, the National Disability Insurance Agency and a consulting firm linked to former Services minister Stuart Robert.

Terms of reference published on Friday show the committee will examine procurement matters that last year triggered an independent review of the contracts involved by former head of the Public Service Dr Ian Watt.

The contracts were identified as being linked to a Canberra consulting firm, which was set up by Mr Robert’s friends and political fundraiser.
