This week’s Scam of the Week goes to Andrew Hastie, the man “sick and tired” of peace protesters but never sick and tired of defending war crimes.
From the Harbour Bridge to the halls of Parliament, Hastie and his political mates lined up to smear Australians calling for a ceasefire, parroting the talking points of a foreign lobby. While children in Gaza are maimed and starved, the Zionist Federation drags dissenters into court with their charity status and taxpayer subsidies.
We look at the Gold Coast junket designed to court local councils, the public money funding these lobby efforts, and the revolving door that lets disgraced consultancies like PwC waltz back into lucrative government contracts.
This is not just politics, it is a racket.
