The Big Four and the Death of Reform | The West Report

by | Feb 25, 2026 | The West Report

While the media points at ISIS Brides, migrants and other bogies, we unveil … The System.

Every time reform shows up it gets shot down by lobbyists and vested interests, the same people bankrolling the parties. Negative gearing is untouchable, wealth and resources taxes never get up, and ordinary Australians keep being told to cop it while multinationals rip out the profits.

Then there’s the ‘Shadow Government’, the government of consultants. PwC, KPMG, Deloitte and EY, embedded, advising, shaping, collecting fees, and walking away clean when it all goes wrong. The problem is the system.
