    100 Sydney childcare centres are scamming $750 million

    In morning raids police arrested 16 women, charging 14 of them with being involved with an alleged fake childcare centre that pocketed government subsidies without providing care for any children.

    Most of the women were mothers accused of handing over their children's information to be used on false enrolment records.

    While this particular syndicate is alleged to have claimed $3.9 million fraudulently, acting assistant commissioner Stuart Smith said the same scam is also operated by many others.


    On the back of this recent one

    Nearly 200 dodgy Australian day care centres are shut down after police find links to Islamic State, bikie gangs and large-scale fraud

    Almost 200 day care centres have been shut down in NSW alone as police investigate links to Islamic State, motorcycle gangs and large-scale fraud.

    Suburbs in south-west Sydney were home to the worst-offenders, with four suburbs in the region claiming 114 of the 188 private facilities that were closed.

    Police shut down 49 facilities in the Canterbury-Bankstown region, another 25 in Liverpool, 23 in Fairfield and 17 in Auburn.

    In one case, the director of the supposed day care was intercepted at Sydney airport, believed to be on his way to fight alongside Islamic State.

    Was he caught because he had with him 100 toddler all with one way tickets and dressed in army green fatigues? :)
