How quickly the narrative changes when it involves Dutton.
If this was Albanese, my guess is this story would ride the MSM propaganda wave right up until the election.
It's all so tiresome.

Absolutely

Can anyone tell me why ABC news so regularly hands over the microphone to Murdoch journalists??

Mmm. David Speers, Patricia Karvelas, Kim Williams and many others have outsourced its journalism to Murdoch.

Isn’t ABC is another arm of the LNP propaganda machine?

It’s a shadow take down of progressive journalism. It goes back years, but it’s been publicly obvious since The Drum was axed.

sallydickson.bsky.social•2 days ago

Don't even watch ABC anymore.

Didn't the IPA buy the ABC? 🤔

This story is given oxygen as it cannot be proved. Skip it. Go to Paladin. https://youtu.be/aIGKCkS01EA?si=G0j7f9KyTmmLbNih

Apparently it was his first EVER share purchase too. Very suspicious timing.

pepperpots4477.bsky.social•2 days ago

Plus he’s never shown any evidence of being smart before so you have to be doubly suspicious

Regardless of this, I say

#PutLNPLast - it’s full of wannabeMAGAts … and is supported by #DrillBabyDrillGina who is happy to destroy the planet for more $$$ than she could ever spend

Of course.

I fear the voters who dream of also doing insider trading one day

yokaibunny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Seems... ooh, I don't know... massively corrupt and dishonest?

lordenjon.bsky.social•3 days ago

ABC is clearly no longer impartial and the news dept under Stevens constantly breaches the Charter

lenche-sk.bsky.social•3 days ago

He needs to go

katehancock.bsky.social•2 days ago

ABC ignoring the fact that this information about Dutton came from a journalist. Labor didn't do the digging. This morning Watts was responding to what Coorey had unearthed and reported in the FIN. Labor is responding and demanding Dutton address the acquasations. Entirely appropriate and fair.

"...now, let's pick this apart a little...starting with...". ???

healthbud.bsky.social•2 days ago

Betcha Dutton the multimillionaire property developer won’t be suing anyone for calling out the insider trading

Meanwhile delete, delete, shred, shred….

#TruthDefence

pepperpots4477.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s even more weird b/c there’s zero evidence of Labor ‘pushing’ anything. James Massola researched and wrote the story and Albo and others have said over and over in response to questions that it’s for Dutton to answer.

I guess they have so much dirt on each other, that mutual protection is a necessity for them.

lenche-sk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Protecting their man. Shame@abc

There are so many other reasons a Dutton leadership would be bad for Australia. It seems like a distraction by media

jayk117.bsky.social•2 days ago

So clear cut he should already be doing time. But let me guess, they won't want to bring criminal charges before an election, now where have I heard that before?

The ABC is just Sky News without the racism

katehancock.bsky.social•3 days ago

"There was a typo in my column today which suggested shadow cabinet was briefed on the bank package in 2009. It should have read: “Some of Dutton’s then shadow cabinet colleagues….CANNOT recollect it being discussed in that forum” apologies to all." Has Coorey been pressured?

bradbrookjenny.bsky.social•2 days ago

Of course!🙄

davidewart.bsky.social•2 days ago

An individual who is found guilty of the criminal offence of insider trading in Australia is subject to a maximum fine of $450,000 and/or ten years in the slot

vickiap.bsky.social•2 days ago

Clearly Dutton shares with Trump the belief that he is above the law. Slippery as an eel.

boatie.bsky.social•2 days ago

Any ‘shrugging off’ of questions about Duttons insider trading and dodgy property deals should be viewed through Julia Gillard’s kitchen window #AusPol

pepperpots4477.bsky.social•2 days ago

Phew - at least any follow up wouldn’t be at the discretion of the NACC 😅

pindangirl.bsky.social•2 days ago

I think it’s more than that. “If you are found guilty of insider trading, you may face up to 15 years in prison. You could be fined up to $1.565 million or three times the profits gained, or the loss avoided, whichever is greater.” This website should be correct https://moneysmart.gov.au/investment-warnings/insider-trading

davidewart.bsky.social•2 days ago

Looks so

pindangirl.bsky.social•2 days ago

Man if you are an individual and you are done for insider trading, you are in a whole heap of pain … but if you are a politician 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

bronianotbrony.bsky.social•2 days ago

But, but "Peter Dutton says I didn't do it". 🤷‍♀️

Get Malcolm Turnbull to make a comment on whether or not he believes his shadow cabinet were included in conversations regarding the bailout

evanstopthekilling.bsky.social•2 days ago

No one who works in parliament or their families should be allowed to trade on the stock market - they are all privy to confidential information.

bevjohnst.bsky.social•2 days ago

Was he opposition leader in 2008?

cleatusjethro.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes and no - Brendan Nelson was leader until September when Turnbull deposed him and was the opposition leader until December the following year below is the declaration of trades undertaken by Dutton during the time that Malcolm Turnbull led the opposition

i-like-birds-bsky.bsky.social•3 days ago

Call me old-fashioned, but if anyone who wants to be my PM engaged in insider trading 5, 10 or 15 years ago, I’d like to know.

igfbss.bsky.social•2 days ago

The Lib govt set up a Royal Commission into Julia Gillard's kitchen, to determine if there was corruption between her & Unions. The activities were before she entered parliament. Questionable trading while a Shadow Minister definitely needs checking.
