Apple’s Missing CEO, Hanson’s ‘Primitive’ Remark and Hume’s Sunrise Gotcha | Scam of the Week

by | Sep 20, 2026 | The West Report


Apple Australia has gone silent for ten days on questions about Israeli-designed chips in its iPhone 17. The House of Reps voted down the Red Lines bill to restrict financing of the Gaza G-side, days before the US approved a record $4 billion bomb shipment to Israel. Pauline Hanson hit Seven Sunrise to call for social cohesion while hammering Aborigines and Senator Jane Hume called new home lending a “terrible failure” of Labor policy, moments before the show’s own data showed new dwelling finance at record highs.
