Not bizarre - selective bias from the ex Murdoch, Sky news and LNP appointed staff saving their own jobs ... they don't care a fig about actually informing Australians about Australian or international matters that impact us.

Looks like Pezzullo is the latest abc pop up celebrity influencer with go-to views on his feelings on migration. Also:

Who cares what that grub thinks.

Wonder how quickly our email complaints to the Managing Director and the Chair of the ABC Board will result in the journo being shown the door…

Not our ABC but the Murdoch ABC easier to copy tabloids than investigate their own stories

Why isn't Pezzullo in jail ????
Serious question.

Why does he get oxygen. Better line would have been “Disgraced former …

priorlearning.bsky.social•6 days ago

Disgraceful reporting

theboof17.bsky.social•6 days ago

Pezzullo is a corrupt lying LNP puppet. As bent as a fork.

richard-j.bsky.social•6 days ago

What a disgrace. These so called conservatives love claiming to support the "rule of law", yet constantly undermine it.

bobsully12.bsky.social•6 days ago

How this piece of work dodged ICAC will forever be mystery to me. Dirt file somewhere maybe or just politicians looking after there own.

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

Dutton: “I think he was vilified unfairly by the govt, and I would make a decision in relation to appointments.
Pezzullo was sacked after an independent inquiry found he had breached the government’s code of conduct 14 times, including using his power for personal benefit.”

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•6 days ago

😳

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

You do have to wonder if Peter Dutton intends to reinstate Michael Pazzullo to Home Affairs if he is elected 2025.

The unusual coverage of this man by ABC is questionable. @albomp.bsky.social

jimmythejet.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Guardian reported yesterday that Dutton would bring back Pezzullo.

Didn’t know that. Thanks. 😁✅

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•6 days ago

Just shocking behaviour, but considered just fine by the Coalition. That says it all. About their values, integrity and priorities.

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•6 days ago

Another reason to stop the lnp . Pezzullo has been totally discredited, and he would have us in conflict with China in a heartbeat. he's dangerous.

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

Right on the money. Very Trumpish.

petsam.bsky.social•6 days ago

I thought he said exactly one of the many interviews he does a day, perhaps in this last week. Someone reported it on here.

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•6 days ago

My prediction:
In the horrifying scenario that the next PM is #TrumpLite Dutton, Mike Pezzullo will be the next head of PM&C. #auspol

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thinking that Anthony Albanese and the Labor government operated on the assumption that they had at least two terms government in the bag. It was obvious to watchers that extreme right concentrated media had to be stopped, ABC cleaned out, corruption had to be publicly dealt with - NACC, climate..

politikarma.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yet @albomp.bsky.social failed to heed warnings of two former PMs and by not holding a royal commission into media ownership and its conduct , has likely jeopardised reelection prospects
🤦🏻🤷🏼

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

Beggars belief.

politikarma.bsky.social•6 days ago

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•6 days ago

Governments are generally given at least two terms. Unfortunately, the ADVANCE machine is fully equipped to mow them down, exactly as they did The Voice. Complete domination of the msm, & a total lack of control over misinformation, is formidable. We need debates. There is no comparison.

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Advance team and the $billionaires behind them, has been no secret for a long time. MSM aligned with their political agenda. As it has been in 2019, 2022 elections. They are much more slick these days. Ch 9 60 minutes pure Dutton LNP propaganda. @albomp.bsky.social

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•6 days ago

Watch Dutton and his team scuttle away from any debates, with him or any of his shadows. Chalmers against Angus? Wong against Coleman, in what will be a critical foreign affairs area in the next few years?. Yeah,right. Won't happen.

maranoagirl.bsky.social•6 days ago

The Murdocracy has declared they have a winner with Dutton. That's it. He doesn't have to speak. They are speaking for him. It's the way colonial orthodoxy works.

peggysanders.bsky.social•6 days ago

Thinking Home Affairs. James Paterson wants AFP to be returned to mega Home Affairs Dept. Michael Pazzullo secretary of Home Affairs or Defence. James Patterson and Andrew Hastie in there too. All war hawks. Australia military base for US-Gina’s “Blueprint for Australia”.

oldwhitebeard49.bsky.social•6 days ago

How does this dweeb, who was fired for breaching standards 14 times, and ,arguably, should have been more deeply investigated, become important to the ABC.

WTF ABC.

comradezaheer.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wasn't he fired corruption?

lordsedgwick.bsky.social•6 days ago

Look forward to the ABC interviewing Eddie Obeid about his thoughts on the administration of mineral resources policy.

lingtragic.bsky.social•6 days ago

How dare they promote this disgrace of a person. More LNPpropaganda

attempt57.bsky.social•6 days ago

This is the guy who was sacked because he used his position to try to gain a personal advantage, and who failed to act apolitically, failed to disclose a conflict of interest & failed to maintain confidentiality of sensitive govt information.

dietervallois.bsky.social•6 days ago

And our National Broadcaster still gives it a platform

mijnamo.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hey ABC if impartiality is such a corner stone of your organisation you forget to add that the former home affairs secretary was stripped of his AO and forced to resign in disgrace

raynerme.bsky.social•6 days ago

He should shut the heck up. He’s not a public servant, he’s a would-be despot and neither a manager nor a worthy leader in the public sector.

And his Order of Australia was revoked, for Good Reason. Misconduct.

simonrosenberg.bsky.social•6 days ago

💯. But Pezzullo won't shut up while the mainstream media - including the craven ABC - is treating him like a guru.

raynerme.bsky.social•5 days ago

He’s not the messiah. He’s a very naughty boy.
