Politicians are being lobbied behind closed doors. Here’s a list of everyone they met Crikey believes the public should know

 It's not just that Trump won. It's that Joe Rogan, Dana White and Brett Favre won.

Jailed insurrectionists won. The Alitos and the Thomases

won. Vladimir Putin won.

Racism won. Misogyny won. Sexism won. Global warming won. Xenophobia won.

Most of all: Fear Won.

That's what hurts.

Politicians are being lobbied behind closed doors. Here’s a list of everyone they met Crikey believes the public should know who our political leaders are meeting with, so we’re publishing federal ministers’ diaries until they start doing it themselves.

ICAC NT investigation into nepotism finds ‘negligence and incompetence’

The anti-corruption commission finds an executive negligent in handling a conflict of interest, sparking public demands for identification of the public servant.

Tensions between PwC and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), escalated last year over the Big Four firm’s plans to hire a senior executive from Neom, one of PIF’s most significant projects. This dispute contributed to PIF’s recent decision to impose a one-year ban on PwC from securing new advisory work with the fund.

According to sources cited by Financial Times, PwC’s attempted recruitment of Jason Davies, Neom’s chief internal audit officer, created “friction and angst” within PIF. Davies, who had worked at Neom since 2020, had agreed to move to PwC in mid-2023 but ultimately did not take up the role. His departure from Neom in September, coupled with PwC’s attempt to bring him on board, was seen as an aggravating factor in the fund’s decision to temporarily sever ties with the firm.
