The West Report

The Zionist Federation of Australia's own annual report says it depends on the World Zionist Organization and Keren Hayesod for most of its revenue. Its chief executive, Alon Cassuto, spent two years suing journalist Mary Kostakidis over two tweets, then withdrew days before trial and claimed victory. Her lawyers say he achieved nothing. The same organisations fund Arnold Bloch Leibler's legal work, tax-deductible in Australia, and channel money through the Jewish National Fund to Keren Hayesod, the IDF and West Bank settlements.

Twenty-five Australian government agencies now use Palantir, the CIA-linked data company that has held contracts here since 2013. Cellebrite clones phones at airports and police stops. Switzerland rejected Palantir nine times in seven years, France dropped it for a domestic alternative in June, Spain blacklisted it in July, and a UK parliamentary committee told the NHS to get out of a £330 million contract. Australia has held no inquiry. Michael West argues it is time for one.

Greens senator Mehreen Faruqi moves to deny deductible gift recipient status to any organisation helping finance an illegal occupation. Labor and the Coalition both refuse to back it. She cites Michael West Media reporting on the Chai Charitable Foundation, which claimed more than $19m in tax-deductible donations in 2025, and United Israel Appeal Australia, which reported $50m in revenue in 2024. Asked whether the ACNC is investigating either, the minister says the regulator is independent and confirms its external conduct standards do not extend to international law.

Richard Marles and US War Secretary Pete Hegseth have agreed to accelerate force posture initiatives at Australian bases, on top of the $368 billion committed to AUKUS submarines that have not arrived. Forty former IDF soldiers and associates ran the Sydney Marathon under police escort in the same week Bassem Youssef's visa was blocked. And Palantir is now inside 25 Australian government agencies, in through the Fraud Fusion Taskforce and into the NDIS, alongside Israeli phone-cloning firm Cellebrite.

Cookers are just normal people. Michael West argues the cooker versus leftist fight is identity politics sold to Australians by political parties and vested interests, with Pauline Hanson running as an advertising phenomenon backed by paid influencers and News Corp, and comedian Dave Hughes turned voice of the right, calling Anthony Albanese a socialist and the neoliberal Labor Party far left. Australians are told to punch horizontally at each other while the boot comes down vertically.

The US bombed Iran again this morning and Iran hit back at US assets across the Middle East. The war never ended, it just stopped being called one. Michael West looks at what the fighting has done to prices at home: rice up 57 per cent, wheat up 51, cotton up 41, rubber up 32, soybeans up 24, wool up 21, palm oil up 20. Oil sits underneath all of it, because transport costs feed into everything else we buy. The winners are the ones who can bury a price rise inside a commodity resale. In Australia that means the oil and gas exporters, who pay little tax, less again in royalties, and nothing at all on offshore production. The argument we're offered instead is Pauline versus Albo.

Palantir's software now sits inside 25 Australian government agencies, the NDIS among them. It's the same Gotham system the IDF used in Gaza, and the mainstream press hasn't written a word about it. Michael West also has Michaelia Cash demanding to know what Albanese is hiding from the Bondi Royal Commission without ever saying what she thinks it is, the ABC's interview with the Israeli officer who ordered the strike on three marked World Central Kitchen vehicles and isn't sorry, and the $900 million Australia has handed Elbit. Then to NSW ICAC, where a witness couldn't recall the texts, the shares, the sign-on fee or a $220,000 invoice. Plus a private credit fund freezing redemptions after nine loans to a collapsed Sydney developer, and a leaked cabinet document on Melbourne Water.

Austrac uses Palantir's Gotham and Foundry platforms. The agency has confirmed it, there is at least a $12 million contract, and Services Australia's own internal documents name Palantir as the software Austrac relies on to manage its financial data holdings. Austrac's NDIS Financial Crime Guide instructs banks to file suspicious matter reports tagged with NDIS keywords. Austrac's own privacy documentation confirms those reports carry the personal details of NDIS participants. Austrac sits on the Fraud Fusion Taskforce, the body driving the crackdown on NDIS spending that MWM has been reporting on for the past fortnight. What nobody in government will say is whether NDIS participant data reaches Palantir, or whether it gets there through Austrac's back door. We put questions to both Austrac and the NDIS. Two days on, neither has answered. Gotham is the same platform the IDF uses in Gaza. It identifies hidden networks, maps the relationships between people, and tracks money flows and movement over time. Palantir chief executive Alex Karp says his company is proud of the role it plays "especially in places we can't talk about".

A NSW bill introduced on 6 August 2026 would let police enforce an order to unlock your phone at an arrest, a roadside stop or other lawful detention, with no search warrant sitting underneath it. Refusing on the grounds that complying would incriminate you is not a reasonable excuse under the bill. The order can be made against someone police only believe has knowledge of an organised crime offence, not just a suspect. Nobody publishes how many phones get opened. The NSW Police annual report doesn't count them, the NSW Crime Commission says it does not publish the figure, and nothing in the bill requires the data to ever be deleted. Digital evidence access orders have been law since February 2023 without a single published number. We asked the Police Minister's office about this. It said it would come back to us. It hasn't.

Australia is tilting perilously towards a police state with yet another government executive overreach - the ASIO Amendment Bill 2. The major parties ganged up, stifled debate. No committee, no community consultation. They 'guillotined' it. Now the spy agency has powers to arrest citizens without a warrant, on the say of a politician, detain and question them. And you can't tell anybody, or else face jail. #auspol #asio Support us ❤️ https://www.patreon.com/thewestreport Our Journalism 📰 https://michaelwest.com.au Merch 👕 https://lonelykidsclub.com/collections/michael-west Linktree 🌐 https://linktr.ee/michaelwestmedia.com.au Hosted on Ausha.

Simon Turner broke his back at BHP's Mount Arthur coal mine in the Hunter Valley in 2016. Ten years on, BHP has never filed a defence. He was being paid around $400 a week when his own paperwork put him on $137,000 a year, and a letter BHP sent Centrelink five years ago still blocks him from a payment today. He has been in hospital. He has no money for food. Last month BHP and its lawyers Minter Ellison pulled Michael West Media into court over the case, threatened us with BHP's costs, then dropped it after we filed a strike-out application. Now the same firm has come back with a defamation threat on behalf of a different client, demanding we reveal our sources, and has aimed it at our 23-year-old reporter Stephanie Tran as well as Michael West. Confidentiality orders sit over most of the evidence, which is the reason this video says less than it could. Half the proceeds of Michael West Media's tenth anniversary night go to Simon Turner.

This week's Scam of the Week rounds up five stories. The federal government commits another $4.6 billion to the Osborne shipyard, taking its total contribution to $8.5 billion for a submarine construction yard that still has no submarines in it. An independent Aukus inquiry hears that each submarine begins life carrying 650kg of uranium enriched to 93 percent, and Australia has no agreed plan for storing the resulting nuclear waste. Labor's national conference blocks a resolution acknowledging genocide in Gaza before it reaches the floor. Labor's own push to reform gambling advertising gets watered down to a narrow prime-time ad ban, weeks after the party banked more than $4 million from gambling industry donors. KPMG sacks a senior partner over the Lendlease audit leak scandal it initially cleared itself of. A supposedly independent news outlet turns out to be a rebranded One Nation Facebook page publishing AI-written articles under a fictional byline. And Australia's antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal tells a Royal Commission that UN Gaza casualty figures are inflated.

Dr Mo Mustafa, a Palestinian-Australian ER doctor, spent months treating patients inside Gaza's hospitals while journalists were barred from entering. At MWM's 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner, he sits down with Doctor Matiu to explain why he started filming on his phone after an MSF colleague told him it broke the rules, and how doctors became some of the only outside witnesses to what was happening. He recounts a mass casualty night when the hospital ran out of beds, meetings with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong over a mobile hospital still waiting to enter Gaza, and the story of a nine-year-old girl who walked three kilometres carrying her three-year-old brother after losing the rest of her family. He also discusses a new antisemitism definition adopted by Australia's health regulator, and what it could mean for doctors who speak publicly about what they saw.

The Newcastle Hunter Jazz Club has cancelled its 37th annual jazz festival after new ATO superannuation guidance left it unable to guarantee compliance for 334 musicians across 52 bands in a matter of days.
