Across Australia, institutional trust is fraying at multiple points. In Western Australia, the Environmental Protection Authority has come “under siege” from local governments and conservation groups over recent decisions, with a minister slamming critics even as faith in the watchdog visibly wavers. In Perth, regulators were warned twice about an NDIS-linked operator now embroiled in liquidations, litigation, and claims of missing money — yet failed to act. The case underscores persistent gaps in oversight of the National Disability Insurance Scheme, a program that has been plagued by fraud and mismanagement.
