| 6/25/26 |  Squiz Shortcuts: What’s going on at KPMG? | There’s been a story bubbling away in the news that’s set corporate tongues wagging about the goings on at one of the county’s biggest accounting/consultancy firms, KPMG. It’s to do with a former employee who blew the whistle on how the company was using the confidential data of its clients. Some of them are major corporations, and the fallout has led to a public inquiry and several execs being shown the door… So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across what it’s about, some context, and explain why it’s getting so much attention… Squiz Recommends: Perusing: This explainer from The Guardian which looks at the allegations against KPMG and some of the contracts it stands to lose. Listening: This podcast from the Australian Financial Review takes a deeper look at the industry in light of the second big scandal in 3 years… SPONSORED - Try Claude at claude.ai.

| 6/23/26 |  Squiz Shortcuts: A change of PM in the UK | Britain is about to get its seventh Prime Minister in 10 years after the resignation of Labour’s Keir Starmer. The man tipped to replace him is former Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, the country’s newest MP, who won a crucial by-election last week over his main competition from the far-right Reform UK party. So in this Squiz Shortcut we’ll look at what went wrong for Starmer, what Burnham’s promising, and how things stand in the UK a decade after Brexit. Squiz Recommends: Reading: This article in the New York Times about Andy Burnham - it’s a gift link so it’s a freebie… Watching: The movie Brexit: The Uncivil War. It stars Benedict Cumberbatch as prominent supporter of the Leave vote, Dominic Cummings, and it takes a look at the behind-the-scenes tactics of that campaign in the Brexit referendum. You can find it on Stan. Watching: This YouTube video that Anna mentions. SPONSORED - Try Claude at claude.ai.

First up is Professor Nicole Gillespie - she’s the Chair of Organisational Trust with KPMG and she’s involved in polling the public on their level of trust in AI. So she’s an expert in public sentiment towards it - and she talks about how we’re feeling now in Australia, why we rank particularly low when it comes to attitudes towards AI, and where you can go if you’re keen to upskill.
