by Michael West | Nov 30, 2025 | Scam of the Week

Pauline Hanson’s burqa stunt made global headlines from the BBC to the New York Times, Barnaby Joyce quit the Nats before firing up $100 Wagyu in a sandwich press, and the NACC somehow apologised its way through another scandal. Plus the Greens strike a deal with Labor on environment laws. Scam of the Week breaks it all down.
