Counter-terror police are investigating whether millions of dollars in childcare subsidies allegedly obtained by fraud have been funnelled overseas following a series of raids across Sydney …
The ABC’s 7.30 reported on Friday that among the properties raided were Lakemba family daycare businesses, which had claimed more than $27 million in childcare benefits and rebates since 2012, and had nearly 600 home family daycare providers on their books.
In a report commissioned by the Government, Sir Eric Pickles, the former Conservative Cabinet minister, today warns that the authorities are in a “state of denial” and are “turning a blind eye” to election fraud.
He said that there is evidence of voter fraud “especially in communities of Pakistani and Bangladeshi background” but that the cases have been ignored because of “over-sensitivities about ethnicity and religion”.
Italy has ordered the deportation of a Tunisian man suspected of plotting a terror attack at the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Someone has figured out why all these rapes are taking place in Sweden. Börje Svensson, a psychotherapist and “an expert on sexual criminals”, was interviewed in one of the biggest Swedish newspapers recently about Sweden’s rape epidemic.
His conclusion? The good, hot, summer weather.
