It was a real honour to welcome the #SaveSorryBusiness coalition to APH today. They are doing such important work in bringing the stories & experiences from community to Canberra, shining the light on more than 30,000 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people harmed by Youpla

Powerful truth telling today with Auntie Lynda and others about the terrible Youpla/ACBF collapse and how we can help victims to #SaveSorryBusiness much more needs to be done to support First Nations communities who were lied to and robbed.

I met with the #SaveSorryBusiness coalition last week. They told me that Labor’s $4m pledge for families affected by the Youpla funeral fund collapse will only help 500 out of an estimated 30 000 families.

6/7 The advocates working in the consumer space are brilliant, as shown by @DebtMob @choiceaustralia @FCAupdate in Cbr this week lobbying for outcomes for ACBF customers. It's been an honour to amplify voices across Australia about this shameful episode abc.net.au/news/2022-08-04/a…

This could be among the worst consumer rip-offs Australia's ever seen

After nine years as consumer affairs reporter, I’ve covered some of the biggest examples of skulduggery on the beat, but it's a story that’s happening right now that's among the most shameful, writes...
