The religious cranks and fascists are on the up-and-up. They don’t vote, but they want to tell you how to vote. Are they fined for not voting? They should be.

Dutton now saying that the welcome to country should not be done at Anzac Day Dawn services. Fucking hell. The racism is on full display now.

It was surprising and disappointing that the Liberal candidate for Kooyong failed to turn up to the local Friends of the ABC event this week. It’s increasingly clear that the Liberal Party has less and less interest in a strong, independent media.

With his Trumpian outburst today against the ABC and The Guardian as “hate media”, Dutton has finlay cracked under the election campaign pressure. He’s hidden for 3 years behind Sky, 2GB and any other RW media outlet that won’t challenge him. Albo has thrown out the bait and Dutton has snapped!

It's never a bad time to revisit what #AndrewDenton said on Murdoch & The Liberal Party's ongoing attack on the ABC. Noted, Thug Dutton attacked the ABC again today.

He’s a weak leader who never appears on media where he’s not going to get a foot rub. And he has been utterly found out in the past month

The Thug will gut the ABC if he gets in. He hates being held to account.

So tediously predictable that Dutton falls back to the same ‘hate media’ criticisms against the Guardian and ABC he’s rolled out previously - because apparently any reporting that interrogates the bullshit he’s sprouting is ‘hate’ and not, you know - the actual role of the media

i ask you to judge me by the enemies i have made and the unhinged things they say about me on sky news. (the irony that the CEO of an astroturf misinformation vehicle would say these words on rupert murdoch’s network is not lost on me.)

Good bit of reporting, this. Advance portrays itself as a grassroots outfit, but it’s actually a front for some singularly unpleasant oligarchs and their nasty mates.

What I love most about this absolute joke of a newspaper-turned-propaganda sheet is their complete lack of even the slightest embarrassment at constructing a logic-defying headline like this one. Seriously, who's the editor these days, this guy?....

Hundreds of thousands of working Australians will be getting penalty rates when working over Easter. The bosses are trying to remove them. Labor has just committed to changing the law to protect them forever.

Fantastic piece on "Advance" & other secretive fossil fuels bad actors, by the talented Tim Elliott. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. And great to see The Klaxon being given a solid shout out. 1/2 www.theage.com.au/national/cop...

Never let Tim Wilson forget. We know he was shortlisted with #AtlasNetwork’s IPA for the Network’s biggest international prize for wrecking the carbon price. That mechanism was working to reduce emissions. Don’t put Atlas operators in parliament. theaimn.net/tim-wilson-s... #Goldstein #auspol

Putatively ‘serious’ journalists making an issue of the failed plibersek air kiss need to take a good hard look at themselves and what they are doing to public conversation.

Angus Taylor was a central participant in a pathetic scheme to smear Clover Moore with invented City of Sydney travel expenses. Yes he stoopid, but he should not be in public office, let alone be in a government

I've said (happy & confident enough to say it), the LNP is genetically incapable of balanced governance. They do not & cannot govern in the best interests of people. Big Biz first & foremost. Watching 2025 leaders debate, I'm also happy to say LNP is genetically incapable of telling the truth.

It's not bad luck or poor vetting that causes the Coalition to keep endorsing far right-wing lunatics as its candidates, it's because they're in the room.

From Abbott’s vile ‘Ditch the Witch’ attacks on our first woman PM, to Morrison warning women protesting sexual violence to be “grateful” they weren’t “met with bullets” to Dutton accusing women seeking an abortion of just “trying it on”…..the LNP are fundamentally and ideologically misogynistic
