Palantir is embedding itself in other Australian institutions from Coles, to Rio Tinto. Westpac, our military cyber unit, the Australian Signals Directorate, the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission and AUSTRAC, which handles Aussies’ sensitive financial information.

AUSTRAC gets your personal data from your Real Estate agent and also can't seem to give enough money to Palantir - check out this answer that shows how they keep varying already $$$ contracts to add on more $$s!

AUSTRAC signed an $8.1 million extension with Palantir until 2025, on top of a previous $8.6 million deal. This gives Palantir access to financial intelligence data on top of Defence info - a foreign corporation with unprecedented access to sensitive Australian data.

A culture of leniency. Exposing wrongdoing or protecting wrongdoers? - Michael West
Corporate regulator ASIC lets crooked bankers walk free, and the notional anti-corruption commission ignores Robodebt.

Thank you @davidshoebridge.bsky.social for pursuing.

The Austrac report was clear, so why did the government proceed with this dodgy deal?
Perhaps corruption was a feature? #auspol

Providers of designated services have to verify clients ID with documentary evidence. It doesn't get checked thru AUSTRAC (unless AUSTRAC is notified by a service provider of suspicious dealings).
Residential renting is not a designated service, property puchases & sales are.
