Election is coming #auspol, and with it relentless lying to fool you to change your vote, in the form of... • Questioning Established Facts • Faux Outrage • Victimhood • Diversion • False Choice • Polarisation ... and more Prepare yourself with Sue's excellent teardown of gaslighting methods:

How can Dutton get it so wrong?

ACTU Secretary Sally McManus has praised the RBA saying they made the “right decision” to cut rates. “The only people that aren’t happy that interest rates have been cut today are Peter Dutton and Angus Taylor”🔥#AfternoonBriefing

Clive Palmer: "Does the name ‘Trumpet of Patriots’ seem a bit mad to you guys? Be honest." Clive's minions: "No boss, it’s great. Really."

Bland Designs -- with Peter Dutton.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... “Many Australians say they are not aware of the Labor government’s key economic achievements and policies” That’s because msm & abc showcase only “dutton says” & spend the rest of their time demonising anything the ALP achieves.

Sky News was running this bloke nonstop on Friday

Interesting: the State Department’s procurement forecast detailing a $400 million order for "armored Tesla" has now been edited to "armored electric vehicles." The document shows the edit was made tonight at 9:12 p.m. -- after it was highlighted in reports

The actual dear fuck to god, this is beyond appalling, it is absolutely sewer stuff. 52 members of Dutton’s Liberal/National parties voted to silence the most senior Jewish politician in Australia WHILE HE WAS TALKING ABOUT AUSCHWITZ. Read it. click.email.fairfaxmedia.com.au?qs=162b7eb9c...

From 2022. 5yr analysis of Qld's state owned energy resources shows they generated $5b in dividends. Some of which is revenue selling excess power to NSW & Vic. Annastacia Palaszczuk's rebate system returned $1.1b of that to Qld households over that period. #qldpol www.afr.com/companies/en...

Why would you publicly fund nuclear, nationalise the biggest asset in history when private investors are funding renewables and RE share of the grid at record 47 & 45% last 2 months? It's a scam by Peter Pan #auspol youtu.be/fSeaybp9oAA?...

Adult crime/adult time was never the solution. Crisafulli is on a hiding to nothing with this law. Another big ego looking for relevance. #qldpol #auspol www.bbc.com/news/article...

This should go down as one of those batshit moments in Australian political history.. Dutton has no idea, the LNP are not worthy of a single Australian vote with this type of idiocy, mistruth, poor science or even real life experiences. 🙄🙄🙄 #auspol @batshit-auspol.bsky.social

Today's announcement on nuclear is a distraction from Australia’s ongoing fossil fuel use and production. It comes just one day after the approval of a 50 year extension to Australia’s largest fossil gas export plant – Woodside’s North West Shelf facility.

Narrator: 23 is indeed bigger than 2. Numbers don’t lie, Dutton! Please share👇🏻

"The Coalition's nuclear announcement is an absolute farce...it continues the Australian political tradition of completely ignoring the need to rein in bipartisan support for subsidised fossil fuel expansion." - @ebonybennett.bsky.social #auspol www.canberratimes.com.au/story/867060...

Total bald faced lie. On the front page. Of the only major newspaper in my state. See the problem here?

There are no lines. This is a beyond disgraceful from Dutton
