Westpac’s Palantir Deal, the Fairford Terror Panic and Shoebridge’s Greens | Scam of the Week

by | Oct 4, 2026 | The West Report


Westpac has handed customer data to Palantir, the US surveillance company, and its customers have not been told. The big banks have also sold our faces to facial recognition Israeli firm BioCatch. The Fairford “terror plot” was five men with no explosives, bailed within 24 hours. David Shoebridge takes the Greens leadership and goes straight after billionaires. BHP’s Mount Arthur has 2,000 workers and 271 insured with Coal Mines Insurance, and News Corp pays no corporate income tax again. #auspol #flydubai #inflation
