Podcasts about public inquiry

Welcome to episode 267 of the Financial Crime Weekly Podcast. I am Chris Kirkbride. In this episode, there is significant global enforcement actions, regulatory updates, and compliance developments. In sanctions enforcement, the US has targeted Iranian financial networks, blocked state-owned Cuban entities, and made cyber designations. Concurrently, the UK expanded its sanctions to target Russian GRU officers, cybercriminals operating the "Lumma Stealer" malware, and staff of the Rybar media company, while also freezing Iranian-linked groups, and modifying sanctions for those with Russian ties. The UK has also extended the operation of a licence for sanctioned brokerages, while a study examines Russian fossil fuel exports. In other news from the UK, the three financial regulators have initiated joint supervisory oversight of major cloud infrastructure providers. In the US, there is the conviction of a Massachusetts man for illegally exporting sensitive dual-use microelectronics to Iran, the unsealing of a US indictment against three Russian nationals, and a guilty plea of a former media company Chief Financial Officer. Finally, the UK Covid-19 Public Inquiry report details approximately £10 billion in wasted PPE procurement and alleged favouritism in the VIP supply lanes.A transcript of this podcast, with links to the stories, will be available at www.crimes.financial. The photograph on the podcast cover art is by Sora Shimazaki at Pexels, and the stinger sample between each news section is ‘Ben Logo 1' by BenKirb from Pixabay.

In December 2025, Greenpeace published the report 'Sweet Promises, Bitter Reality: Inside the Merauke Sugarcane Project' detailing serious concerns about the role of the Indonesian state and agribusiness in land theft and mass deforestation in Merauke. More recently, Royce Kurmelovs of Deepcut News has written about the connections between the Australian government-funded body Sugar Research Australia and land clearing in Merauke. Louise has been working for West Papua's freedom and self-determination since 1999, and helped found the West Papua Office in Docklands in 2014. There will be a screening of Pesta Babi: Kolonialisme di Zaman Kita (Pig Feast: Colonialism in Our Time), an investigative documentary examining contemporary colonialism, militarisation, and large‑scale development projects in West Papua, on the 29th of July at Eclipse Cinema in Collingwood, and on 31st August at the University of Melbourne. The documentary is also available to watch on YouTube.Louise shared the following information to supplement our conversation about Wilmar:Wilmar, the corrupt Indonesian sugar company in TownsvilleIndonesian oligarch Martius Sitorus has owned Wilmar Sugar in Townsville since 2010 when he bought CSR's sugar and ethanol division for $1.5 billion. Wilmar has eight mills in Queensland, and manufactures half of Australia's raw sugar. Sitorus is Batak, from Sumatra, and lives in Singapore, with an estimated net worth of $3.55 billion. In 2013 Sitorus and his brother Ganda (as Gama Group, then KPN Corp), with demonstrable government support, began forcing sales of customary land in Boven Digoel and Merauke (West Papua) for large-scale deforestation and agribusiness. Wilmar pays no tax in Australia. In 2022 Wilmar subsidiaries in Indonesia were found guilty of corporate fraud and systematic judicial corruption, including payment of 'Billions in bribes to avoid trillions in fines', Mongabay, 15 April 2025). In 2025, Wilmar's Duta Sugar was convicted for unlawful acts over the import of raw sugar into Indonesia. Also in 2025, and court officials ($4 million to four Indonesian judges Wilmar's huge subsidiary in China, Yihai Kerry Arawana (the largest food processor in the People's Republic and responsible for 21% of its palm oil imports) was found guilty of fraudulent documentation in palm oil trades. You can visit the West Papua Women's Office at 211/838 Collins Street, Docklands 3008 (VIC), and contact them at frwpwomensoffice@gmail.com or via SMS at 0424 745 155.// Content note: this interview includes mentions of a First Nations person who has passed away.

In this episode, we are joined by Professor John Price (University of Victoria), who leads the Canada–China Focus project. We discuss how Canada–China relations are debated in ways that can intensify anti-Asian racism and Sinophobia, and how Canada–China Focus works to reframe public conversation. We use Price's submission to the Public Inquiry into Foreign Interference as a stand-alone case to think through how “security” discourse can produce racialized harm, and we close by reflecting on what Prime Minister Mark Carney's January 2026 visit to Beijing signals for the next phase of Canada–China relations—and what short- and long-term work is needed to sustain anti-racist public awareness alongside serious foreign-policy debate.

There's assurance an inquiry into the Tom Phillips saga is important for the public, but also his children. Phillips was on the run with his kids for nearly four years, ending only when he died in September in a Police shootout. An inquiry's been confirmed to look at whether Government agencies took all practicable steps for the children's safety and welfare. Attorney-General Judith Collins told Mike Hosking we want to get this done so the children can better understand what unfolded. She says once they grow up it'd be helpful for them to know that some people tried very hard to for them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government has announced new safeguarding legal guidelines as part of a crackdown on child exploitation in the wake of the grooming gangs scandal.Measures revealed by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper include criminal sanctions for professionals working with children if they don't report sexual abuse claims.The recommendation is among those within Professor Alexis Jay's 2015 child sexual abuse inquiry - she also told Radio 4's Today programme “enough of inquiries” and that instead victims need action. Authorities face allegations that they ignored horrific abuse of thousands of vulnerable, mostly white girls trafficked, groomed and raped by groups of men predominantly of Pakistani heritage - in towns including Rotherham, Oldham, Telford and Rochdale - amid fears of being labelled racist.The government has refused to relent to calls for a public inquiry, despite calls from opposition the Conservatives and an online firestorm fomented on X by the platform's boss Elon Musk.We're joined by The London Standard's courts correspondent Tristan Kirk, who covered many of the scandal's criminal trials and argues a new inquiry is not the answer to the urgent action needed.

Tom and Simon kick off with a discussion about Simon's upcoming trip to Australia for Crime Time Inc., emphasizing the importance of exemplary conduct and noting the organization's tight expense policies. They delve into famous Australian cases, including the legendary outlaw Ned Kelly. The conversation then shifts to a series of topical crimes, particularly those around Christmas time, as noted by their deep dive team. Paul Logan's unsolved murder is highlighted, with Tom discussing the importance of preserving evidence and keeping cold cases 'warm' for potential breakthroughs. They touch on infamous cases like the Sodder children and JonBenét Ramsey, critiquing poor initial crime scene management and exploring potential theories behind the incidents. The pair also reflect on Amelia Earhart's mysterious disappearance and the influence of conspiracy theories, driven by social media. The podcast transitions to a broader analysis of crime scene investigations, the importance of immediate actions by first responders, and conspiracy theories' propensity to thrive in the absence of definitive answers. Notably, Tom praises Police Scotland's Homicide Review Board for their methodical and thorough approach to solving cold cases. The episode also teases a future live show at the Mitchell Library in Glasgow and mentions their special guest, former crime reporter Jane Hamilton, who will bring a unique perspective as a journalist.
