Forking out $1.2bn to build a hospital then flogging it for a dollar must surely make the NSW government the most hopeless dealmaker in Australian history. Then letting the buyers sell it – along with another 41 hospitals to the Cayman Islands – puts the federal government in a nearby league.

It’s been a golden era for Google Australia, Netflix Australia and Facebook Australia. Bunkered in pandemic lockdowns, Australians spent record time on their screens. How then did the digital giants rake in so much cash but pay so little tax? Michael West looks at the tall tales the multinational tax dodgers tell the Australian Tax Office. Coinciding with the drama of the election, a slew of the world’s biggest companies have just quietly dropped their financial reports, a once-a-year affair which affords us a glimpse into how they, with their plotting advisers from EY, KPMG, Deloitte and PwC, are robbing Australia on the tax front. We say “quietly” because they don’t post this important stuff on their websites. They hide it their statutory reports, furtively filed to the corporate regulator ASIC.

Whilst theres thousand left homeless after the floods, your tax dollars are subsidising media outlets to distract you from important news with so called "exclusives" about Lisa having a drink, so called 'mean girls' and Lily Allen going braless. The news media bargaining code is just a glorified shakedown of google and facebook to prop up government aligned media outlets. Shoutout to @thejuicemedia for their amazing work, check out their video on the media bargaining code here: https://youtu.be/uqj2z3QaRyU Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheWestReport Merch: https://lonelykidsclub.com/new/michael+west Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/michaelwest.journo Insta: https://www.instagram.com/michaelwestjourno/ Hosted on Ausha.

"They let it rip. And it ripped. Three Covid infections in Bali yesterday, 35,000 in NSW. Nursing homes are locking down so Australia’s elderly can once again die in peace, untroubled by the distraction of having their loved ones around them. Restaurants, a slew of businesses going belly up. Hospitals in such crisis that Covid-positive nurses are being called back to work. It’s ripped alright. Australia. Government, broken. It’s a good thing there are things the government doesn’t control because they are going well. The Ashes, the share market, iron ore prices. The stuff they do control however, but for which they are apparently not responsible, things like the health system, defence spending, nursing homes, quarantine; falling apart. The single most important duty of government is to keep the people safe. They’ve failed. They do control the media though, or most of it at least, and that’s still going well for them. Somebody from the ABC was complaining that Scott Morrison, Greg Hunt, Dom Perrottet and a few of the “personal responsibility” crew knocked back an offer from 7.30 Report to go on tele to explain themselves. Naturally they refused. Why would Scomo front Laura Tingle anyway when he can hop on the JobKeeper subsidised Seven Sunrise at do some public relations and marketing? Day-in-day-out, he can rely on the corporate media at the government subsidised News Corporation, Sky News, Seven and Nine Entertainment to create the illusion everything is somebody else’s fault."
