No way Julian Segal lying to the royal commission is the biggest scam of the week.
Labor taking donations from the gambling lobby and proposing weak laws on #gamblingadvertising is much bigger imo.

Not Reporting A War Part 2
Pete Hegseth is the Peter Principle applied to the largest weapons arsenal in human history. Pine Gap guides the missiles. Australian-made F-35 parts are in the payload. And our media calls it a partnership. Part Two of Urban Wronski’s investigation into what Australia’s press is not reporting, and what our silence is costing.https://urbanwronski.com/2026/04/12/not-reporting-a-war-part-2/

NOT REPORTING A WAR: HOW AUSTRALIA’S MEDIA LAUNDERS A CRIME (PART 1)
Australia's mainstream press hasn't just failed the Iran war test. It has "Ajax-ed" the crime, scrubbing blood and guts from the ledger of history. When 170 girls are obliterated in a classroom in Minab and the ABC calls it "more than 100 children dead in a strike," the anaesthetic is working. By Urban Wronski. -

#Auspol #BritishVolt #ScaleFacilitation #RechargeIndustries #TaxFraud #WageTheft #DavidCollard #PwC
Businesses can always afford to spend big on acquisitions and pay their consultants to evade taxes but workers are always the first to be swindled.
“According to itvNews, “The Australian-American company that rode to the rescue of the failed Northumberland car battery business Britishvolt has failed to pay the final instalment in its purchase of the company”.
“Defiant, Scale Facilitation responded “we dispute we are in default”.
“The excuses from Scale are running thick. We can now reveal that the company raided in June by the ATO’s Serious Financial Crime Taskforce over an alleged $150 million tax fraud, has reportedly paid millions to PwC to provide tax advice on its Australian and UK businesses.”
50 New York employees haven’t been paid on time since Feb. CEO, ex-PwC partner David Collard first blamed ‘technical” issues with payroll’ then ‘a lack of cashflow’.
