If two Israelis had been shot in Miami by a person of Muslim faith, I have no doubt the incident would receive saturation reporting at ABC News. They were shot by an Israeli who mistook them for Palestinians. And I can find no reports at our national broadcaster. (The victims survived.) #Racism

Well what do you know, turns out there is a corruption issue in the Robodebt referrals worth investigating. NACC independent reviewer says all six people referred should be investigated for possible corrupt conduct. The NACC gets to do the investigation, of course. www.nacc.gov.au/news-and-med...

Anyone else notice on Insiders, after the Dutton interview, Spears turns to Laura Tingle and says, essentially, 'So, even without specifics, we're accepting there will be lower spending under a Dutton government?', and she's like, 'What the actual fuck, you gormless hack.' *Translations by Dave

Peter Dutton has Campbell Newman's axe out of the display cabinet at Qld LNP HQ. He's set a number for public service cuts which means he'll form a razor gang & sack until target achieved. It won't just be Canberra, it'll be the whole nation. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Australia has the second lowest age pension in the OECD, and the 5th highest level of retirees living in poverty. And all the while we give the richest 10% $20bn in tax breaks for their superannuation. My column. www.theguardian.com/business/gro...

Words matter. They're chosen for a reason. The ABC's coverage of this slaughter could serve as a lesson for media students wanting to understand how consent for atrocity is manufactured

There is a powerful disinformation and propaganda apparatus (1) for which Trump can do no wrong and (2) which, in all cases of conflict, will instantly advance a narrative, whether true or false or somewhere in between, that it’s the fault of Democrats, liberals, or the woke left.

I despair. Unless there's a massive uprising by common people globally Earth is doomed politically, environmentally, and people doomed to be slaves. Elites don't care about anything but power & money & it seems they can buy anything, including the continual enablement of their product in the media.

1. Hello everyone, Happy New Year. I’m back from a lovely time, though now stricken by a nasty bug. Right, back to it: In my catch-up reading, there are several articles about the “collapse of democracy”. Was 2024 the year in which it began to die? But NONE of them seeks to define democracy. 🧵

Peter Dutton may say they won’t attack Labor’s families (ie Jodie Hayden) - but he/they do not have to have to because it’s done directly via News Corp who have a Rupert and Co HQ hit list well known by anyone who deals with them. The tarnished hacks do the libs dirty work on command.
