The Very Idea!

Photo by Black Light Media on Pexels.com That was one of my paternal grandmother’s favorite expressions when she just couldn’t cope with a new idea of some sort, or someone’s behavior was just beyond her standards of polite and civil society (which happened pretty often.) She was born before 1900, so as her spouse was rumored to have remarked, “she would blush if she had to walk past a pile of…

Pwc White Collar Crime Perpetuated On Australia

Here is another legacy from the Abbott, Turnbull, and Morrison Coalition governments. Pwc white collar crime perpetuated on Australia joins Robodebt, as one of the most serious betrayals in this nation’s history. Both share the gutting of the public service as a core reason for the way they eventuated. This was initiated by Tony Abbott as PM and increased the volume of outsourcing to consultancy firms in key areas. The individuals involved in these white collar crimes put their corporate affiliations above the national interest. Money was more important than service to their country. Greed and self-interest over doing the right thing.

Public Service Problems & Coalition Governments

There are clear lessons to be learned from this in terms of the calibre of people representing the Liberal and National parties in government in Australia. Individuals like Tony Abbott, Stuart Robert, Alan Tudge, and their ilk are not fit and proper people to govern Australia. Tudge and Robert have fled the ship in the wake of Robodebt before the findings can be handed down. Abbott was booted out by his electorate some time ago. Scott Morrison remains a stain on the memory via his multitude of ministries held in secret from the Australian people. Allegations of sexual misconduct, rape, bullying, corruption, and misuse of power plagued the latter stages of this decade of Coalition federal government.

Pwc Thick As Thieves

The Australian public service is supposed to act without fear or favour. Under the Abbott/Morrison government key senior public servants were more concerned with keeping their high paid jobs and licking the arse of their ministers. Robodebt revealed illegal behaviour by senior public servants and their ministers in designing and operating a scheme based on unlawful and incorrect assumptions. Pwc, the consulting firm, was, also, involved in preparing a report on this scheme. Thick as thieves, is a saying which comes to mind.

Photo by Josh Withers on Pexels.com Greed and self-interest could be the motto of the Liberal/National Party Coalition. Governing for the wealthy and all those who aspire to be wealthy. Putting the concerns of your back pocket before any outlandish ideals like equality and a fair go for all. A sizeable number of Australians would and do vote for such a government. The Pwc tax partner Peter Collins broke the rules by disclosing confidential information to people he should not have. Pwc went on to use this information as a selling tool to attract more business from international corporate clients likely to be impacted by the tax changes being mooted by the Australian federal government. “Collins had breached a series of confidentiality agreements made with federal Treasury and the Board of Taxation that gave him access to various consultative forums as a senior partner in the local branch of a global accounting firm. Information obtained during those processes was used to brief local and international tax partners or staff on what the government was doing in specific areas of taxation. It was publicly known that Collins had shared knowledge that he should not have shared, as was the fact that his former firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers (now PwC), was given a disciplinary penalty that required it to tighten up training and procedures.” (https://www.themandarin.com.au/219292-damning-emails-reveal-former-pwc-peter-collins-multiple-breaches/

Many say this man is a liar! The economic upshot of this may well be in the tens of billions of dollars, which has been lost to the national tax coffers by this unconscionable act. Accountants are all about money and like soldiers of yesteryear living and dying by the sword it is the amount of lost money at stake here that should define the seriousness of this crime. A custodial sentence of 10 or 20 years would be commiserate with the financial extent of the consequences of this white collar crime. At the very least, Pwc should be blacklisted for the foreseeable future from receiving consultancy contracts. The federal government has paid out billions of dollars to this firm over the last few years in consultancy work fees.

Photo by Hugo Heimendinger on Pexels.com Of course, many former public servants work for firms like Pwc, as the gutting of the public service by Abbott etc saw them jump ship. The interchange between politicians and public servants into these corporations and vice versa makes the state of this sector a mixed stew. Greed and self-interest, as mentioned before, rides high in the minds of these folk, where, perhaps, national pride once flew. The Albanese government could and should instigate a review of this sector and purge the poisonous and morally corrupt among their number. The lowering of standards under the previous Coalition government must be addressed and a new broom put through the ranks. It would be heartening to see more than a few senior public servants go to gaol for their part in the Robodebt scheme. Things won’t change if white collar crimes in Australia continue not to be criminally prosecuted. The Australian Federal Police are investigating Peter Collins. Currently he has only been banned from his professional role as tax agent for 2 years. Blue collar crimes are punished severely in this country for crimes worth a mere pittance. This is an ongoing illustration of how the justice system is still mired in a past when class defined crimes to a large extent. Yes, white collar financial crimes are much more complex, but hey everybody we have been living in this complex world for a long time now. The punishment should fit the financial weight of the crime. I can imagine the Pwc people at the heart of this laughing at the stupidity of Australians. What government contracts the very people who represent these corporations as their tax agents to devise ways in which to get them to pay more tax. Naïve? Corrupt? Or just stupid?

Two scammers, a web of betrayal, and Europe’s fraud of the century. Issue no. 148, “Watch It Burn,” by Jessica Camille Aguirre, is now live:

The scam would help Daphne accrue even more money, and it would make him famous. In the media he cut a dashing figure, partying with celebrities and oligarchs. He maintained his slim physique by avoiding carbohydrates like they were venom and dressed in blazers cut from blue velvet or embroidered with shimmering brocade flowers. He liked to wear a diamond-encrusted Chopard sun pendant on his partially bared chest and was rarely photographed without one of his hundreds of pairs of Tom Ford sunglasses, all aviator-style with gradient lenses. Always, it seemed, he had a cigarette hanging out of the side of his mouth.

Reporters dubbed Daphne the “prince of carbon,” but it wasn’t just his flamboyant charisma that elevated him to criminal royalty. So did the nature of his new fraud. Daphne was scamming the fight against climate change by exploiting a policy flaw that left billions for the taking.

The Vital Role of Immigration in Sustaining New Zealand’s Economy Amid an Aging Population

New Zealand, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and high quality of life, faces a demographic challenge that could have profound implications for its economic sustainability: an aging population. As the proportion of elderly citizens rises, the workforce shrinks, leading to a potential strain on economic productivity and social services. In this context, immigration, particularly of skilled workers, emerges as a crucial strategy to bolster the nation's workforce and sustain its economy. At IR Legal, we understand the importance of a robust immigration framework to navigate these demographic shifts effectively.

The Demographic Challenge

The aging population in New Zealand is a reality that cannot be overlooked. According to Stats New Zealand, the number of people aged 65 and older is rising by approximately 80 individuals each day. This demographic is expected to reach 1 million within the next six years. By 2040, the number of people in this age group could grow to 1.3 million, and by the 2050s, it could hit 1.5 million. By 2028, 1 in every 5 people will be 65 or older, and by the 2050s, this age group might constitute one-quarter of the entire population.

This demographic shift poses significant challenges:

Workforce Shortages: With a smaller proportion of the population in the working-age bracket, there will be fewer people to fill essential jobs.

Increased Dependency Ratio: A higher number of retirees compared to working-age individuals can lead to greater economic dependency, putting pressure on social services and public finances.

Economic Growth: Sustained economic growth becomes challenging with a shrinking workforce, potentially leading to stagnation or decline.

The Role of Skilled Immigrants

Skilled immigrants bring a wealth of benefits that are vital for addressing these challenges:

Filling Skill Gaps: Industries such as healthcare, IT, hospitality, engineering, and construction often face skill shortages. Immigrants with the necessary expertise can fill these gaps, ensuring that critical sectors remain functional and innovative.

Boosting Productivity: A diverse workforce can drive productivity and innovation. Immigrants often bring unique perspectives and skills that can enhance creativity and problem-solving within businesses.

Supporting Aging Population: Skilled workers, particularly in healthcare, can provide essential services to the aging population, ensuring that elderly citizens receive the care and support they need.

Economic Contributions

The economic contributions of immigrants extend beyond filling job vacancies:

Entrepreneurship: Immigrants often start new businesses, contributing to job creation and economic dynamism. Their entrepreneurial spirit can lead to the development of new industries and economic opportunities.

Cultural Diversity: A diverse workforce enriches the cultural fabric of New Zealand, fostering an inclusive society that can attract global talent and investment.
