Pauline’s Poll Surge, Charity Cash and New ASIO Powers | Scam of the Week

Australia is staring down another cost of living hit as war drives up oil and gas prices, while Canberra ducks bigger questions at home. This West Report examines the political fallout, Pauline Hanson’s rise amid collapsing social cohesion, Labor’s refusal to act on charities linked to illegal settlements and the IDF, and the sweeping ASIO reforms that could expand detention powers without traditional safeguards. It is a picture of a government willing to look away from one set of risks while handing itself more power over another.
