Like Trump, Dutton knows he can tell outrageous lies with impunity bc the Australian mainstream news media (incl. the ABC) will simply repeat the lies as "OL Peter Dutton says ..." It is demonstrably false to claim the Coalition are better at economic mgmt than Labor. 😠 #auspol

💯 It’s the ol’ say it won’t times and people begin to believe it…. Just like Trump did .

‘Better economic managers’ myth has been around for years ✅. No probing Qs from MSM. Costello sold our gold reserves for a song;resources ditto;Telstra etc. Libs privatise public assets, sack PS & outsource to private companies, & cut services. Whoever they’re governing for isn’t us taxpayers.

They also whipped up an election winning "debt crisis", then quadrupled it *before* the pandemic. Whereas Keating, and post-GFC Swan, were awarded Euromoney's "World's Best Treasurer", with Chalmers presently in the running, and, bizarrely, that rarely gets a mention anywhere ...

lying is as natural as shitting to the LNP and the political psychopath that Dutton is...He has no shame, no care...he just wants to smear m,media with lies and hopes he picks up a few Trump voters

agree well said

amante2ameliabee7.bsky.social•107 days ago

They are most definitely NOT

disie1.bsky.social•107 days ago

And then every so-called journalist nods along agreeing with them. Drives me insane.

aeb1.bsky.social•107 days ago

I never understand why journalists stopped questioning, and started parroting the lies.

carolynmartinu2.bsky.social•107 days ago

Few journalists around today, only stenographers reading Qs off their mobiles. Prime example was the gotcha attempts at Dan Andrew’s press conferences. Insiders has become vomitous parroting the Murdoch line. They simply aren’t there anymore to hold the powerful to truth & accountability.

aeb1.bsky.social•107 days ago

Agree. Phil Coorey, Andrew Probyn (although more measured at 9), were worst examples nationally.

And insiders is an embarrassment

chequers7.bsky.social•107 days ago

Facts, evidence, OWCS economists and all therefore wrong/false because none of evidence verify the absurd claims by the #Lieberals

spiderantman.bsky.social•107 days ago

Would help Labor if they kept calling it out too.

drvicfielding.bsky.social•107 days ago

Totally

spiderantman.bsky.social•107 days ago

They never seem to want to claim their own ground. It seems like only recent years they were willing to acknowledge Hawk and Keating.

Good Morning Victoria
Totally and absolutely agree 100%

jpmegraw.bsky.social•107 days ago

Well they are good at economically lining their own pockets maybe that’s what they mean??👀👀👀👀😂

roscothegrouch.bsky.social•107 days ago

I actually think the claim (Liberal Party is better economy managers) is demonstrably, historically false.

Exhibit 1. It may be paywalled, though The Saturday Paper frequently allows one free read. Michael Pascoe is one of my favourite journos.
