This week on Scam of the Week, we’ve got a full buffet of political absurdity and corporate grift.
One Nation’s Malcolm Roberts has officially jumped the shark, declaring that Hitler was a lefty. Yes, really. Meanwhile, Labor and the Liberals have joined forces once again to block an inquiry into AUKUS the biggest deal in Australian history — while quietly forming a secret Defence Oversight Committee with no cross-benchers allowed.
Over in the private sector, Deloitte charged taxpayers $440,000 for an AI-generated report so riddled with fake laws, wrong judges, and phantom documents that it’d make RoboDebt blush. Their punishment? A $98,000 refund.
And as if that wasn’t enough, peace protesters were pepper-sprayed in Sydney while NSW Premier Chris Minns wined and dined with the Israel lobby the next day.
All that and more — from weapons expos to media silence — in this week’s Scam of the Week.
