Transparency is called for at NPC as Westpac’s X-Con Cadre Cartel relies on ‘short sentences’

The ‘Lived-Experience’ phenomenon has seeped beyond the platform of ‘Ted Talks’ into new heights. This week’s Star of the ‘Short-Sentence’ Senator Pauline Hanson, has raised the National Press Club’s list of prestigious speakers with criminal experience to new levels. The NPC is sponsored by Westpac Bank, which reported a profit of $1.9 billion, a 6% increase from the second half of 2025.

The Westpac Bank ‘writes off’ a proportion of this profit through a scholarship funding program for the promotion of ex-criminals who have experience in fraudulent activities. Representatives of the banking franchise stated to this masthead that there was a notable increase in profits after investing in the Ex-Con phenomenon, applauding the booking of Pauline Hanson, who not only served the shortest sentence but continues to speak in them, as a National Press Club highlight, not seen since they threw away scholarship funding on another ex-con who blew it all on a gym.

Westpac media reps noted that this particular recipient of the award was clearly ‘un-fit’ for the challenge, but Pauline’s short-sentenced rhetoric has allowed the National Press Club to be more ‘transparent’ about how easily they are open to a ‘bribe ‘, stating that anyone could ‘GET-UP’ them… mirroring the corruption experienced by Indigenous prisoners daily.
