It kind of tells you everything.
Yes, Gerard, and have a great break.
I'll take the keys and just like a modern electric vehicle, it will have fantastic pace but erratic control.
7am · Big money, client secrets, and a silenced whistleblower: Inside the KPMG scandal · 29 Jun 2026
podcast
So all this began about two years ago when a senior member of KPMG who worked in audit noticed some issues about the misuse of confidential data.
There's essentially three separate instances.
You would describe this person as a model whistleblower.
They went to their boss
They went to their boss's boss.
They used the internal whistleblowing service.
They went to the CEO.
They went to the board.
They went to independent members of the board.
They had independent directors like New South Wales Premier Mike Baird who were there, and they were being told by the chair, oh, if you get an email from this whistleblower, just send it to HR.
It's not important.
Don't worry about it.
When all of that failed, when after two years they'd been essentially treated as a minor workplace grievance, they'd left the firm under sufferance, forced to sign a deed of release under very unfavourable terms, when they couldn't get anywhere, they finally lobbed up at a Senate committee where they gave that information and Labor Senator Deborah O'Neill read it into Parliament under the protection of parliamentary privilege, which is how we know about it.
And what was it that the whistleblower was first alleging?
Essentially the misuse of confidential information.
So they took information from Lendlease, who they ordered the books of and who then ordered it for 68 years.
They took information from that to try and win the audits at other companies, including Dexus and Westpac.
