While the mainstream media obsesses over mushroom meals and political reshuffles, the real stories get buried.
This week on The West Report, we uncover:
• A $940 million taxpayer-funded quantum tech deal that’s falling apart before it begins
• How Northern Beaches Hospital put profits before patients
• And why Donald Trump’s new tariff threats could gut Australia’s film industry exposing our reliance on Hollywood
These stories are about more than headlines. They’re about corporate capture, media failure, and Australia’s vanishing cultural sovereignty.
