This week’s Scam of the Week covers the kind of political circus you could never make up. State funerals for political mates, two billion dollars flowing to Nauru with no receipts, a net zero backflip pushed by fossil fuel donors, and a DroneShield share dump that raised eyebrows across the market.
We also look at the Offset Alpine insider trading saga that refuses to die, the Minns government’s sudden blindness to a Nazi protest outside parliament, and the Coalition’s new energy plan that relies on carbon capture fantasy.
Scam of the Week breaks down the stories the major outlets avoid, the conflicts they tiptoe around, and the decisions that cost the public every day.
