*Did Anyone Vote for Palantir Holding Australian Data?*

/The West Report, 124k subscribers, 27 Aug 2026/ <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7yQVfg9OKo>

"Austrac uses Palantir's Gotham and Foundry platforms. The agency has confirmed it, there is at least a $12 million contract, and Services Australia's own internal documents name Palantir as the software Austrac relies on to manage its financial data holdings.

Austrac's NDIS Financial Crime Guide instructs banks to file suspicious
matter reports tagged with NDIS keywords. Austrac's own privacy
documentation confirms those reports carry the personal details of NDIS participants. Austrac sits on the Fraud Fusion Taskforce, the body
driving the crackdown on NDIS spending that MWM has been reporting on
for the past fortnight.

What nobody in government will say is whether NDIS participant data
reaches Palantir, or whether it gets there through Austrac's back door.
We put questions to both Austrac and the NDIS. Two days on, neither has answered.

Gotham is the same platform the IDF uses in Gaza. It identifies hidden networks, maps the relationships between people, and tracks money flows
and movement over time. Palantir chief executive Alex Karp says his
company is proud of the role it plays "especially in places we can't
talk about"".

What an amazing super tech sold to us by genocide enabling psychopaths,
fully bought on using our tax moneys.
We the people need Palantir like we need pestilence.

Shame on Labor!
