Four Corners Exposes $50 Billion ATO Losses

ABC investigative reporters at work, as Four Corners exposes $50 billion ATO losses. The old joke about feeling like a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed on shit, comes to mind when considering what really goes on in the halls of power. Macro corruption is the term used to describe the situation in Australia, where the amounts are very large when dirty deeds are done downunder. Scamming millions of dollars from the tax office via bogus GST claims would be an unlikely occurrence one would think. I mean, the ATO is a pillar of our whole national edifice, so it must be bristling with top line security, right? Wrong, it is a $50 billion black hole bad joke on that score.

ATO Fleeced Out Of Billions Via GST Scam Reports 4 Corners

Hard working Aussies make up the lion’s share of tax revenue each year via income tax contributions. The workers would not be best pleased to discover that the automated GST reporting system at the heart of the ATO has been spewing forth unchecked money in the many millions, adding up to billions, to scammers and criminals. The lack of human oversight within the ATO automated system is gob smackingly appalling. We can thank former PM Tony Abbott for the retrenching of some 1, 000 employees from the tax office due to his government’s cuts to the public service in 2013-15.  The old right wing, short sighted, slash the bureaucracy stupidity at work here. DOGE disasters, often, take time to emerge, as the damage done reveals itself when there is no one there to stick their finger in the dam wall. This is why criminality and corruption always accompanies populist actions with no foresight, like getting rid of all the inspectors. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwfhSHg8HEg Convenience vs Security At The ATO Chris Jordan, another ex-copper, via KPMG came to run the ATO and bring in the automated digitisation of the tax system in Australia. He was appointed in 2013 and ran the show until 2024. “Chris Jordan leaves his high-profile role as Tax Commissioner dodging another hail of political brickbats but confident he has delivered much better service and a digital revolution at the ATO – as well as forcing multinational companies to pay billions more in tax. That’s despite the finale of his 11 years dominated by the politics of the PwC tax scandal and, just this week, criticism from the auditor-general about the ATO’s response to a giant GST fraud scheme that went viral on TikTok. Not only were 12 officials working at the tax office and around 140 other former ATO contractors and employees among the tens of thousands of Australians investigated or charged, the auditor-general found the agency’s internal risk framework was lacking.” - (https://www.afr.com/politics/federal/why-chris-jordan-wants-secrecy-laws-to-change-20240213-p5f4ox) A lot of good stuff, improving the convenience of lodging tax returns and getting refunds occurred under Chris Jordan’s watch at the ATO. There is no denying that, but a balance is required, obviously, between offence and defence. That Four Corners exposes $50 billion ATO losses indicates that the defence needs tightening up. The ATO needs to hire back those human workers and get some oversight happening ASAP. Please don’t give me anymore BS about AI doing it better and cheaper. Australians would not be happy about these huge losses to scammers and criminals. “None other than James Packer, son of the late, great anti-tax champion, billionaire Kerry Packer, is warning that AI will decimate tax revenue downunder. Why? It is because Australia depends upon the income tax from workers for the lion’s share of its tax revenue. AI has already started shedding jobs in middle management and the numbers are going to ramp up substantially very soon. The loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs to machines will impact the bottom line severely. Especially, as multinational corporations and rich people avoid paying tax in Australia.” - (https://www.midasword.com.au/ai-will-decimate-income-tax-revenue-downunder/) Unaccountable & Secretive ATO The 4 Corners expose showed how unaccountable the ATO is within the framework of the Australian government. The old too big to fail BS. The leadership at the ATO needs to be held accountable for such large losses. Secret deals with powerful people and wiping million dollar tax debts are not ideal behaviours. The inability for the ATO to stop repeat offenders cheating them out of tens of millions of dollars has the Australian people losing confidence in the institution. The ATO is perceived as a giant money pot by criminals and is, therefore, a major target in their eyes. Is it merely incompetence or is there corruption involved here as well? It might be time for the old Royal Commission to be rolled out to make the lawyers rich and to delve into the ATO more forensically?

The surface map this morning reveals low pressure over the western Great Lakes, with a cold front stretching through the Plains into the Rocky Mountains. Severe storms are expected to form along this cold front today, impacting areas from Iowa down to Texas. These storms may bring damaging winds, hail, and possibly a few tornadoes. Meanwhile, the eastern U.S. is set to warm up significantly, with temperatures reaching the 80s to near 90 degrees—even the Northeast will experience this warmth! In contrast, the western U.S. will face cooler and more unsettled weather, particularly across the Four Corners region. 🌩️🌤️ #WeatherUpdate #WeatherUpdate #SevereStorms #ColdFront #GreatLakes #PlainsWeather #RockyMountains #IowaToTexas #DamagingWinds #HailStorm #TornadoWatch #EasternUS #WarmWeather #NortheastHeat #FourCorners #UnsettledWeather 🌩️🌤️

Always invoke deosil, with your right hand toward the center of the circle as you progress. As with any Wiccan rite, you may choose the words that work best to help you visualize your intention, but a traditional invocation might go something like:

Hail the Watchtowers of the North, Guardians of Earth; we ask that you join us to witness our rites and to guard this Circle. Hail the Watchtowers of the East, Guardians of Air; we ask that you join us to witness our rites and to guard this Circle. Hail the Watchtowers of the South, Guardians of Fire; we ask that you join us to witness our rites and to guard this Circle. Hail the Watchtowers of the West, Guardians of Water; we ask that you join us to witness our rites and to guard this Circle.

Once the ritual is complete, we would release the Guardians like:

Guardians of Earth, Watchtowers of the North, we thank you for joining and guarding this rite. With love and blessings, we bid you hail and farewell. Guardians of Air, Watchtowers of the East, we thank you for joining and guarding this rite. With love and blessings, we bid you hail and farewell. Guardians of Fire, Watchtowers of the South, we thank you for joining and guarding this rite. With love and blessings, we bid you hail and farewell. Guardians of Water, Watchtowers of the West, we thank you for joining and guarding this rite. With love and blessings, we bid you hail and farewell.

Magian Keldeo, the Colt Pokémon

Water Form 

Water/Grass type

Based on a hippocampus 

Land Form 

Water/Fighting type

People have often wondered where the Mythical Pokémon, Keldeo of Unova originated from.

Well, here’s their answer!

In the Region of Magia, there are whole herds of amphibious Keldeo that can change between Land and Water forms at will.

They have a more kelp-like mane and tail and are known for their ferocity in hunting prey.

Keldeo like to play-fight with each other and Trainers as practice for hunting.

They usually stick to the area in and around Fourcorn Lake, a diamond shaped lake in the south of the Region, but as long as there’s water deep enough to swim in, they can make nests just about anywhere.

"PREPARATIONS FOR 1933 EXHIBITION BEGIN TO TAKE TANGIBLE FORM," Toronto Globe. August 4, 1933. Page 9. --- To most people, the Canadian National Exhibition lies dormant almost fifty weeks of the year; grounds idle, save for picnics; staff disbanded, and the buildings lifeless. But such is not the case, for hardly have the gates closed on one year's Exhibition when intensive work starts on the next Big Fair. Three weeks from today the "Ex." opens in all its vastness, with exhibits garnered from the fourcorners of the world, the result of months of thought and labor for the most part unseen and unheard. But every year about this time tangible evidence of preparatory work begins to show itself about the commodious grounds. Illustrations above show scenes there yesterday: At the left, one of the innumerable booths that dot the grounds seen in the throes of construction; at the right, the beginning of things down the Midway.
