The Briefing · Shots fired in shaky ceasefire + What you need to know about Palantir · 4 May 2026 podcast

It's been used by the Israeli military and Israeli security agencies.

Its data and data analysis has been used to target and kill people in the genocide in Gaza, in the conflict in Lebanon.

We know that it's been used by the US military for target acquisition in target acquisitions such as, you know, sanitized name for finding people and people to kill and things to blow up in Iran.

And it's been put on hyperdrive, if you like, under the Trump administration.

And what we have been finding is that that march through the US government and its military and security agencies is now beginning in Australia.

The federal government here has signed something like $60 million in contracts with Palantir.

They're inside our defence signals directorate, our sort of top secret security defence intelligence gathering agencies.

They're marching through corporate Australia, corporations like Coles.

But they're not just a data analyst company.

Palantir are a political project, a far-right extremist political project, which is getting access to all this data.

And I've got to tell you, it makes me really anxious.

You don't have to go very far to find out their political project.

They literally issued a manifesto.

I think it was a 22-point manifesto.

And in the manifesto, they basically said that they want to be weaponising AI with the US military and talking about a duty and an obligation

for the tech industry, the AI industry, the data industry to work side by side with the US military in US military power projection across the world.

They openly basically say that they are on a global culture war in support of the United States and its culture.

They said in express terms, you know, some cultures are more equal than others, very sort of Orwellian culture.

Concepts.

They've been given access to prison data here in Australia as well, in Victoria.
