Pauline Hanson dining with Gina Rinehart in Thailand says it all. Her One Nation Party is cozying up to billionaires like Rinehart and Clive Palmer, pushing anti-green policies that benefit the elite while working-class Australians foot the bill. What does this mean for the 2025 election?

How deep do the ties go between Australia’s corporate elite and international war crimes? In this episode, we expose the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce and its connections to the weapons industry, illegal settlements, and the devastating reality in Gaza. With major sponsors like Macquarie Bank and ANZ, and a history of supporting Israel’s military-industrial complex, the ICC’s influence raises serious ethical and legal questions. Are Australia’s top companies complicit in breaches of international law? Watch as we unravel the web of connections and ask the tough questions mainstream media won’t.

Latest data shows carbon capture & storage (CCS) is a scam. Why are foreign multinational gas exporters getting subsidies from Australian taxpayers for tech that doesn’t work?

YouTube Description:
Westy talks about the 7,000 protestors who gathered in Newcastle to blockade the coal port, demanding an end to new fossil fuel projects. But there’s more to the story—like the $14.5 billion of taxpayer-funded subsidies flowing into the pockets of fossil fuel exporters, often for projects that don’t even deliver on their promises (hello, Chevron’s Gorgon CCS debacle).
Why are we subsidising foreign corporations to the tune of billions while they continue to drive up emissions and laugh all the way to the bank? From fossil fuel handouts to failed carbon capture projects, we’re digging into the numbers, exposing the spin, and asking why Australians are paying for this rort.
