Two Murdoch editorials exactly 12 months apart.

Barnaby might be a 'drunken idiot' but he's our drunken idiot.

It's just disgusting
Did the former Nationals leader merge his private mess into his Government job? Yes
Did he sit multiple times in Parliament House drunk? Yes
Cool, we need him then!
Is Sam Kerr everything we hate (black, female, activist, role model)? Yes
Great, then she needs to go!
Phffft....

Yep, disgusting is the right word.
He was drunk AND unconstitutional for a lot of years until his citizenship was sorted.

Classic neo-conservativism.
Hypocritical, misogynistic, racist.

Precisely why I will not spend a cent on anything Murdoch.

And The Australian considers itself a serious media outlet…😂

Thanks Mr Shangalang for sharing your expertise on city (or indeed shitty) rollers...

To be fair, I don't think The Australian think Barnaby should be captain of the Matidas either! ;-) #SeeWhatIDidThere

Yeah, but he is a white man ... she is a brown skinned woman.

Consistency is not a strong point of theirs!

Dennis is a massive flog

Murdock press being in a powerful position influencing our thinking laid bare by their one way street point of view. A view that’s designed to disrupt Australia’s long held democracy of the ppl in their own volition decide what’s kosher. Murdock interference is beyond the pale. Totally unAustralian

spillanemj.bsky.social•10 days ago

look it makes sense, all Barnaby had to do was have sex with his staff

gavingatenby.bsky.social•9 days ago

What they're saying is that Barnyard is THEIR drunken idiot. So he's okay.

Yet none of these Tory commentators have blinked at the notion of Steve Smith, a proven CHEAT, resuming the captaincy of the Australian cricket team. And don’t get me started on the absurd notion that Baaaanaby should be allowed to continue entering the House of Reps in his usual inebriated state!

Dr Suess makes more sense than The Australian.

bodgieau.bsky.social•10 days ago

Also, Barnaby isn't gay. I'm sure that factors into the Australian's editorial content somehow.

johnnicolay.bsky.social•10 days ago

If the Australian is trying to make the point that captain of the Matildas is an office that people respect and so have high expectations of the office holder, whereas Nationals MP is not, well, fair enough.

Unlike the view points of op ed piece authors - double standards seem to never get old.

This bullshite is outrageous in this day and age.. time for all these men to pull their heads in and stop pretending we live in the 50s

fqngrbge.bsky.social•9 days ago

I can't qwhite put my finger on why they're treated differently...

geoffhiggins.bsky.social•9 days ago

No double standards at this masthead. Not half.

75andrunningstrong.bsky.social•9 days ago

Murdoch slugs, should all be given pellets....

pjbrissy.bsky.social•10 days ago

Hey it’s not like Barnaby had an important role with real responsibilities. We should certainly not hold him to the moral and ethical standards we expect of professional athletes.
