Politicians aren't so good with numbers. With Peter Dutton claiming Labor spent $2 million smearing him, @theshufflediary.bsky.social takes a look at other, ahem, questionable claims.

Peter Dutton is so committed as an opposition leader that he constantly opposes even his own policies.

Say what you want about Dutton -- he's got convictions and principles and if you don't like them, well, you can just wait till he comes up with some different ones: www.crikey.com.au/2025/03/14/p...

Nothing Trump has said or done has shifted Albanese’s stance on our alliance with America, even as the world order it's based on visibly shifts. But that hasn't paid off when it comes to tariffs, @theshufflediary.bsky.social writes.

Rare to have someone on the inside so forthcoming with specific ideas to improve the way the vote is conducted, and seriously engage with digital voting as a policy proposal. AusPost get a bit of a kicking too, if you're into that. #auspol #waelection #ausnews

Politics is decided by who's in the room. That's why the rich and powerful pay for lobbyists and attend fundraisers. We should know who has the ear of our MPs. So, Crikey got its hands on a month's worth of minister's diaries and we're publishing them for you to see. www.crikey.com.au/20...

At Crikey our big aim this time around is to soberly focus on the actions of the second Trump presidency, rather than the rhetoric. In that spirit, we had to leave quite a lot of material out of our list of moves the new administration has so far made that happen to mimic the traits of fascism.
