When are they going to strip Ben Robert Smith of his medals. What a disgrace, war criminals with medals, truth tellers in jail. War, what is it good for, psychopathic criminals, I mean absolutely nothing!

The justice system is rotten to the core, it can't be saved reform is not enough and the same applies to the political system.

Whistleblowers, flares and USA scares | Outrage of the Century That's why Julian Assange is in prison, and Snowden fled to Russia.

Just follow orders - how did that work out for the nazis?

Thanks for this review Michael, and for exposing the hypocrisy and corruption all around us. More power to you💪!

Maybe every Australian who paid too much or could not afford a property in Australia over the last decade should attend the consultation process as interested stakeholders?

What were we doing so close to China in the first place , Dutton and his warmongers

Thank you so much again Michael and your team. It’s sounds inadequate, but your work is quite incredible. On Tues afternoon, I’ll likely be in jail, but with people like you and your supporters I will survive it and we will eventually clean up this country from the corporate drifters, and the fossil media. Thank you brother and all. 💪🏼👊🙏🇦🇺

The recent history of a lack of justice.

When the “obvious” decision are not being made but rather the choices that serve the vested interests of the greedy few - I despair. What can we do? When will the selfish ones be held accountable?

Thanks again Micheal West the questions the public must be pondering...if we still claim to be living in a democracy.

Great wrap up

Geez, so many scams this week...makes it really tough to pick just one...

Thank you for what you do Westy.

Yes murderers don't get sentences just people who tell about them this is a complete disgrace on Australian political parties

Thank you so much michael west, you and your journalists are heroes for what you guys do :)

Governments bragging about public/private partnerships can GFTHs. They used to try and sell these public/private ‘commercial in confidence’ partnerships as a good thing, but what they are doing is introducing fascism that they will not be able to stop, if they keep legislating and rubber stamping for freedom from taxation and consequences for corporates.

Good work as always, glad to have and support independent media

If we didn’t participate in these wars we wouldn’t have these issues.

When the chinese navy starts to patrol bass strait under freedom of navigation and declaring that Tasmania is independent from the mainland and puts its troops ashore and installs missiles and military hardware on the island . I wonder how canberra will respond .

Disobeyed orders to disobey orders to disobey orders.

Having been in the Navy one possibility is the Australian Missile Ship most likely locked on the Chineses Jet and this set off their Flares as a just in case. And ensure the Helicopter was close enough to make it an Incident. We now know B1 and B2 are still owned by the Minerals Council and that green wave of voting for Labour was a complete waste of time.

Fantastic vid. Thnku holdng truth to power.

Dithering very apt, Follow the money

Nobody was hurt by Chinese flares is incorrect Michael....the media's moral outrage took a fearsome beating. So much so that it may be in intensive care for at least a week.

Considering how important rooftop solar is to the grid, the energy producers need to be owning the means of production, which is a big reason for the policies pushing down home ownership. There's also the need to domicile a workforce that is as mobile as needed.

Surely Albo understands mates rates? Anyone overseas should pay 'X' for "OUR GAS!" and we (the Australian public) should get mates rates - like 60% of X maybe? But no, mates rates to him is a very different calculation.

Michael, your utter exasperation with the grinding wheels of continuous corruption has changed your tone to one of smiling sarcasm....while I might enjoy this, I hope it does not put off others. I share your exasperation but my response is one of near chronic anger.

Australia needs you to have more subscribers

Reserve % of gas for local markets oh how hard is that labour

don't send your kids to the army... see what happens....long time ago has it stopped being a defense force and for a long time it is an extended arm (weapon) of US weapons industry

Thanks

Possible scam ... a casino collecting customer financial information for its commercial purposes using the excuse of its required for AML. Want to know more? Just ask me

Release Jake's mate!

Forced to plead guilty? does that qualify as a plea?

Gonna send Albo some knee pads.. must be gettin sore after all his meeting with the gas cartel

Don't forget about achieving Trump's orders to be spending 2.5% of GDP on the MIC.

mcbrides not a whistleblower for war crimes, he did it due to mistreatment of clients. The warcrimes thing was a by product.

😅 yess I was working on the weekend on my charter boats 🚢 we had Chinese people celebrated, buda birthday 🎂 🥳 yess they are vegetarian 😅 too. 5hey look to bad people to me 😊 don't believe in 5he bull shit 😒

DEAR Westy, A good lot of scams but you missed one or is that gonna be next week's lot. Australian Government vs Elon Musk's X in the court.

Even if the copper was the in China's EEZ, which they shouldn't have been, the response was not justified. They could've easily warned them off, you do require permission for military transit of an EEZ for certain countries, China is one of those countries.

very low likes, gotta wonder if you are being throttled?

David McBride -egotistical show off.
