Did the government talk to her first or did they just assume ?

I’ve seen this today referred to as a lie, spin, something that never happened, what the PM deserved, a cover up, the desperate cries of the ‘rusted ons.’ Echoes of the US election … what a time.

If that was the main reason, it would have helped to prevent a lot of intra-party angst if he'd just told us at the get-go. Surely?

And according to Twitter the bright sparks on the #insiders panel continued with this rubbish. Why don’t media cowards come out & admit that their aim is to destroy any elected Labor govt.

This is how misinformation works. The false narrative is spread widely but the correction is barely mentioned. News cycle moves on.
Seems ABC News is the only report on this.

No. The Guardian brought it up first

Payman's meeting w Minerals Council of Aust was reported by The Nightly 6 days ago - 'Fatima Payman looms as a potential kingmaker' for Nature Positive bill. Other media chose to ignore Payman's key role & instead ran an inane 'Albo v Plibersek' soap opera #auspol https://thenightly.com.au/politics/australia/nature-positive-labor-and-greens-edge-closer-to-shock-deal-on-federal-epa-c-16879594

I must admit I was stunned that it took ex-Fin Review hack Jacob Greber to set the record straight at the ABC (but still ignored by Speers, Karvelas, Jennet etc)...

Thanks Heather. Thanks Jenny. It was there. No one wanted to see it.

Ohhhhh. I thought Albo, killed, scuttled, shut down & intervened to stop the deal.
Are you telling me that’s not the truth ???? 😱😱
I hope your not suggesting the MSM are telling us porkies

The good Senator is now good mates with the mining industry. She needs sponsors.

sallylawry.bsky.social•109 days ago

She will take preferences off anybody to get a seat . Runs with the fox and hunts with the hounds . Found a Voice as an Independent ? Spare me . Supported her on Palestine . Now she supports live sheep trade, abstained on Babet’s abortion motion and doing what Drurey tells her .

mavrosall.bsky.social•108 days ago

And Payman still has not refuted these claims, hmmm
