As a shocking video investigation by independent journalists Drew Pavlou and Pete Zogoulas recently exposed, Lakemba in Sydney is Australia’s own little Minnesota, when it comes to migrant welfare fraud. Lakemba is the Muslim epicentre in Australia. Nearly 70 per cent of Lakemba’s population is Muslim. It’s home to the largest mosque in Australia – the very one where Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was abused and driven out by a violent Muslim mob, recently.
There are an astonishing 1,300 NDIS providers in Lakemba. That’s one for every 14 people. In Melbourne’s Western fringe, Somali migrants have been charged with defrauding welfare, principally the NDIS. Which is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg: authorities admit that just 0.22 per cent of 7,000 fraud reports resulted in prosecutions. The legal system, they admit, is “struggling to keep pace with the volume of alleged rorts”.
That’s even if there is political will to stem the migrant ripoff-artists. After all, these are some of Labor’s most loyal voters, critical to keeping state and federal Labor in power.
The 10 worst electorates for National Disability Insurance Scheme provider compliance issues are all traditionally Labor-held outer suburban seats in western Sydney and north-west Melbourne.
These are also, surprise, surprise, the areas dominated by new migrants. Mostly Muslim and sub-Saharan African.
Those are the results of the Kismet Care Index, which uses public data on enforcement actions against providers and utilisation rates of NDIS packages to shed new light on where the $50-billion-a-year scheme is going off the rails […]
Mark Woodland, the chief executive of Kismet, said it had designed the care index because it wants to make data on the publicly funded scheme more visible “so we could improve the outcomes and do something about it”.
By tracking enforcement actions – including banning orders, compliance notices and revocations of registration – published by the NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission by postcode, Kismet determined the NDIS trouble spots.
They needn’t have bothered. All they needed to do was check voting patterns.
These were in the federal electorates of Fowler, McMahon, Watson, Blaxland, Werriwa, Parramatta and Banks, all in Sydney’s west in NSW, and Gorton, Hawke and Fraser in Melbourne’s north-west in Victoria. All are Labor-held except for Fowler, held by independent Dai Le, the first non-Labor MP to represent the seat.
Fowler, until the last federal election, had been held by Labor for its entire history. McMahon is the seat of Climate Change and Energy Minister, Chris ‘Boofhead’ Bowen. Watson is held by senior minister Tony Burke, and is the most Muslim-dominated seat in Australia. Burke, who has overseen a steady stream of ‘ISIS brides’ and jihadi hate-preachers entering Australia, was responsible for the Moonie-like mass citizenship rallies in the months leading up to the last federal election.
Something Labor is doubling down on. A leaked letter from Julian Hill, Assistant Minister for Citizenship, Customs and Multicultural Affairs, dated 22 September 2025, urges Australian councils and mayors to “increase ceremony frequency and capacity”. An average federal electorate in Australia is 120,000 voters. At current rates of immigration, Labor are importing a new electorate worth of voters every two months.
Is it all starting to make sense, now?
