While the media points at ISIS Brides, migrants and other bogies, we unveil ... The System. Every time reform shows up it gets shot down by lobbyists and vested interests, the same people bankrolling the parties. Negative gearing is untouchable, wealth and resources taxes never get up, and ordinary Australians keep being told to cop it while multinationals rip out the profits. Then there's the 'Shadow Government', the government of consultants. PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and EY, embedded, advising, shaping, collecting fees, and walking away clean when it all goes wrong. The problem is the system. #auspol #CGT #Big4 Support us ❤️ patreon.com/thewestreport Our Journalism 📰 michaelwest.com.au Merch 👕 https://lonelykidsclub.com/collections/michael-west Linktree 🌐 https://linktr.ee/michaelwestmedia.com.au Articles mentioned Reform Australia they cry but will the Big 4 let them https://michaelwest.com.au/reform-australia-they-cry-but-will-the-big-4-let-them/ The problem with PwC and the Big 4, treason is the business model https://michaelwest.com.au/the-problem-with-pwc-and-the-big-4-treason-is-the-business-model/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00:00 The Shadow Government 01:01 How Tax Reform Died 02:07 Inside the Big Four 07:01 PwC and Betrayal 18:14 Why Reform Fails Hosted on Ausha.

Prince Andrew finally gets arrested, or at least the story is being sold that way, and the media instantly does what it always does, turns a system story into a celebrity spectacle. Meanwhile, back in Australia, we have offshore property being marketed here, alleged illegal land sales dressed up as aspiration, and regulators who suddenly develop selective hearing. And then there are the ISIS brides, the perfect panic headline, deployed like a smoke bomb right when you might start asking harder questions about power, money, influence, and who really gets protected.

What is art, and what is hate? Just ask the police! Free speech, hate speech, and a brand new set of laws that look a lot less like “social cohesion” and a lot more like State Powers to Hammer Thy Enemies.  This week alone, three flashpoints lit up at once, a satirical tweet lands a bloke in jail, a far right agitator is prosecuted, and Canberra police raid a cafe over protest art on the wall.   So who decides what counts as “hate”, police on the spot, politicians in Canberra, or the courts, and why do some voices cop the full force of the state while others skate on national television.

An Israeli real estate roadshow is being marketed to Australians in Sydney and Melbourne, pitching buy-ins and “investment” opportunities in West Bank settlements which the United Nations says have no legal validity under international law. We trace the booking funnel through Noam Homes and Selling Israel, look at the settlement locations being advertised, and ask what role Australian based promoters played, including the Australian Jewish Association, which promoted the Sydney event as a “partnership”. We put questions to Noam Homes, the AJA, the ACNC and ASIC. At the time of recording, key questions remain unanswered. #auspol Read the full report by Josh Barnett and Stephanie Tran on Michael West Media.

Don't believe what you see and hear. It's not true! This week on The West Report, Angus Taylor takes the Liberal leadership just in time to knock police violence and the Herzog visit off the front pages. We break down NSW Police bashing peace protestors, media spin, the fake anti-Semitic “butt dial” case, revolving doors between Defence and arms dealers, gas giants paying less tax than beer drinkers, and the sterling efforts by corruption watchdog the NACC not to investigate corruption. #auspol #aukus #boardofpeace #herzog #senate #libspill Lots of contenders ... but one stands out!

"Thank you friends" NSW Premier Chris Minns told Israel supporters to warm applause at the ICC dinner in Sydney. While, nearby, at the Sydney rally against Israel President Isaac Herzog, his police were about to attack peace protestors. We dissect perhaps the most ugly unprovoked attack in the history of Australian policing and the biased media reporting which is now trying to whitewash it. It should be said that the blame for the pro-Israel media circus lies, not with the reporters, but the bosses. It lies in the framing of the stories, the agendas, the headlines, the placement. #auspol Support Us here https://linktr.ee/michaelwestmedia.com.au Hosted on Ausha.

Thousands of Sydneysiders gathered peacefully at Town Hall to protest the visit of Isaac Herzog. What followed was a heavy police operation, with protesters pepper sprayed, pushed to the ground and arrested, including elderly people and families. In this West Report, we speak to Zack Scho, who was on the ground as events unfolded, walking through the timeline of how police kettled the crowd and forced protesters down George Street. With questions now mounting over whether the response was planned, attention turns to NSW Premier Chris Minns who ultimately bears responsibility.

Was Epstein hanging at Rupert's place? This week on Scam of the Week, we unpack what the mainstream media keeps skating past, the Epstein files, the corporate media’s selective outrage, and why News Corp would rather chase Russian spy fantasies than follow the evidence at home. We look at AUKUS, political distractions, Pauline Hanson’s latest stunt politics, housing tax rorts, dark money, and why some scandals are buried while others are inflated beyond recognition. When news goes to die, we call it out. Support independent journalism and help keep these investigations alive.

Live on The West Report, Michael West is joined by Chris Sidoti, international human rights lawyer and current member of the UN Independent Commission on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, to discuss an extraordinary legal and diplomatic flashpoint facing Australia. Following the Albanese Government’s invitation to Isaac Herzog to visit Australia, Commissioner Sidoti has publicly stated that the Israeli President should be arrested on arrival for the alleged crime of incitement to genocide. The claim draws on findings and proceedings in international legal forums, and raises serious questions about Australia’s obligations under the Genocide Convention, domestic criminal law, and executive powers under migration legislation. We unpack what incitement to genocide means in international law, whether heads of state have immunity in situations like this, and why legal experts say the visit creates significant legal risk for the Australian Government. Also addressed, statements by President Herzog regarding Gaza, and how those remarks are being interpreted in ongoing legal debates. About Chris Sidoti: Chris Sidoti is an Australian human rights lawyer with decades of experience in international law, former Australian Human Rights Commissioner, and a current member of the UN commission examining violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory.

The Epstein Files mark the end of the American Empire, the trashing of Western authority and the myth of Western humanity. We examine the money trail, the momentous import of this evidence, and the ripple effect which engulfs Australia as well as every other country. We are allies to a p*&%*#@ ring #auspol You will see the Lobby dismiss it all as boring, not of interest to voters, a Russian thing. That is propaganda.
