Housing fix – build houses for US troops! | Scam of the Week

by Michael West | Aug 3, 2025 | Scam of the Week

This week’s Scam of the Week pulls no punches

While thousands marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge for Gaza, NSW Premier Chris Minns tried to stop it, spending public money to silence peaceful protest.

Meanwhile, the Albanese government is proudly funding public housing, but not for Australians doing it tough. Nope, 700 houses US troops under the AUKUS deal

And over at the Commonwealth Bank, they’ve been caught ripping off Centrelink recipients, Australia’s poorest, then refusing to pay them back, even after the other banks did

Three scams. One week. All taxpayer funded
