    Organised crime gangs are using the national disability insurance scheme to launder money, earn income and hide assets, law enforcement officials have warned parliament, seriously undermining probity in the $50bn program.

    The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) has told a review into NDIS integrity that criminals are paying cash kickbacks to participants and their families, and sometimes resorting to intimidation and threats of physical violence towards vulnerable people to rip off taxpayers.

    When government money comes pouring into the private sector, businesses of dubious character tend to spring up quickly.

    The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) may be one of the biggest facilitators of this at the moment.

    As of mid-December, there were 269,432 active NDIS providers across Australia, the vast majority of which (around 94%) are what’s known as unregistered providers. It means they haven’t been audited and approved by the National Disability Insurance Agency (NDIA) – one of the main regulators – to make sure they’re delivering quality services and sticking to the rules.

    Morning everyone. There are renewed hopes that the US and Iran will resume peace negotiations over the coming 24 hours as JD Vance prepares to fly to Pakistan for talks – but Tehran is still sending mixed messages about whether it is ready to return to the table.

    At home, a federal law enforcement body says organised crime is systematically rorting the NDIS. Plus, Carlton’s Elijah Hollands is admitted to hospital after his “mental health episode”, and we ask: do Australians have too many recycling bins? Or not enough?

    Forget ‘nasty’ celebrity roasts – Mick Molloy and Glenn Robbins are all about the ‘touchy-feely’

    Glenn and Mick’s Celebrity Intervention is a good-natured roast with a touch of This Is Your Life. No wonder some people ran a mile.

    Mick Molloy has a word of warning for his famous friends. “If you did a uni revue back in 1982, and you did some blackface, someone can find it, someone can get there.”

    He should know. In the course of putting together the new show Glenn and Mick’s Celebrity Intervention, he and co-host Glenn Robbins have had the dubious pleasure of trawling through reams of material from the darkest corners of their guests’ lives with the aim of finding the most embarrassing material they can put to air.

    It’s become a common refrain with movies over the last few years that films that struggle in theaters frequently become big hits once they arrive on streaming platforms. The latest example of this trend has arrived on Prime Video as the heist drama Crime 101, which failed at the box office despite a strong critical reception, is now killing it at home.

    Crime 101 only debuted on Prime Video on April 1st, but the film, which stars Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, and Halle Berry, is already the top streaming movie globally on the platform and the number two movie in the United States. It’s just the latest case of audiences clearly “waiting for streaming” when it comes to theatrical releases that people clearly want to see, but not quite enough to go to the theater.

    'Crime 101' Early Reactions Call Chris Hemsworth Thriller the Perfect "Old-School" Action Throwback

    Following several glowing first reactions to MCU star Chris Hemsworth’s new action thriller, Crime 101, the praise (largely) continues as more early reactions to the heist flick emerge. Praised by initial responses as “the first great movie of the year,” these latest takes heap praise on the “killer cast,” which includes Hemsworth alongside fellow MCU actor Mark Ruffalo and Oscar-winner Halle Berry, while commending the movie’s 90s throwback approach.

    Critic Scott Menzel paid Crime 101 the “highest compliment” when likening the action crime thriller to something “ripped straight out of the early 90s.”

    Crime 101 feels like a crime thriller ripped straight out of the early 90s and I mean that as the highest compliment. The entire cast is excellent, carrying that old-school charm and energy that took me right back to watching movies like this with my mom and dad. While it’s a bit too long, Crime 101 is a reminder that engaging action thrillers don’t need wall-to-wall visual effects to work. A really great time at the movies.

    I asked Crime 101's writer-director to recommend 4 crime films to watch before Chris Hemsworth's new movie comes out — and one is the 'pinnacle of the entire crime genre'

    When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.

    Crime 101 is ready to stake its claim for a place in the pantheon of crime films.

    One of 2026's crop of new movies, Crime 101, based on Don Winslow's novella namesake, is billed as a seat-gripping heist thriller that might make for a perfect date night this coming Valentine's Day weekend. And, with Marvel actors Chris Hemsworth, Halle Berry, Mark Ruffalo, and Barry Keoghan among its A-list cast, it's certainly got the star power to get bums on seats.

    According to writer-director Bart Layton, though, Crime 101's true ace up the sleeve is its nostalgia factor. Raised on a healthy diet of neo-noir, action thriller and crime-comedy films, Layton is nothing if not a crime-genre disciple.

    Why Chris Hemsworth’s heist thriller is a ‘movie for adults’

    Writer and director Bart Layton on his new heist thriller starring Chris Hemsworth, and what it’s like making the giant leap from documentaries to a Hollywood heist thriller.

    The movie business has evolved to a point that most pictures are separated into two spheres.

    One is the “four-quadrant” blockbuster designed to appeal to eight year olds and 80 year olds. The other is smaller, often indie movies that have fervent fans but fewer ticket sales. Rare is the film that sits in the middle.

    You know the one. We used to make and watch them all the time. They can be thrilling and plot-driven, but they’re often grounded in characters, have a mid-range budget and feature movie stars wearing regular clothes rather than costumes.

    Run review – crime caper about notorious bank robber Brenden Abbott misses a few tricks

    This Binge series based on the so-called ‘Postcard Bandit’ has all the ingredients of a cracking drama but is foiled by uneven pacing

    Any show with “Run” as its title surely ought to bolt out of the gates and fang it hell-for-leather – barely stopping to catch its breath, proverbial sirens wailing. So it was a touch disappointing to discover that this new six-part series about notorious bank robber Brenden Abbott (George Mason) takes a while to find its rhythm, jumping around in time and stop-starting when it could’ve been charging ahead. Non-linear structures can be invigoratingly unconventional but in Run it often stalls momentum and feels too clever by half.

    This actor was cast as Australia’s most notorious bank robber. Then he got a call from prison

    In 1987, Brenden Abbott – aka the Postcard Bandit – stole $112,000 from a branch of the Commonwealth Bank in suburban Perth. It was a bold armed robbery – dropping through the ceiling, just as the branch was beginning to open – but it also wasn’t uncommon. Armed bank robberies were almost an everyday occurrence in those days, as branches carried large amounts of cash and the security was rudimentary.
