good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are guardian aus politics editor Katharine Murphy, ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn, and 9fax (AFR) politics corro Phil Coorey. The interview is with federal Treasurer Dr Jim Chalmers.
opening spiel: orthodox and wrong economic statements about inflation and unemployment. The political fallout of an “independent” RBA. #Insiders
we then conflate the resignation of adulterous enforcer of unlawful persecution of poor people from the lower house with Senator Lidia Thorpe announcing her move to the Senate cross bench. #Insiders

The interview is with opposition foreign affairs spokesman Simon Birmingham.
The interview is with opposition foreign affairs spokesman Simon Birmingham.
opening spiel: “diplomatic deep freeze” is over. What next? Why is Xi re-engaging? asks Speers (A: change of federal government from Coalition to Labor). #Insiders
Australia held its ground, says Speers. Xi has agreed to “the thaw” he says. And these outcomes a mystery to very senior press gallery journalist David Speers, or so he would have us believe. #Insiders

opening spiel: interest rates, energy prices and inflation. Economic and political challenges are growing. The sky is still falling. #Insiders
the federal government is “facing pressure” [from media outlets, corporate lobbyists and a decimated coalition, as Labor governments always do]. What is the government going to do about everything?!? #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! It’s an Oz fest at #Insiders today. Rosie Lewis, current corro at the Australian, ABC radio host Pat Karvelas and 9fax (smh/Age) chief corro David Crowe, both formerly of the Australian. The interview is with federal Treasurer Dr Jim Chalmers.
Speers has penned another of his dull nothing-nothing goes-nowhere who-can-say opeds. These are always 800-word cladding on core anti-Labor CPG themes like bR0KeN pR0MiSeS or c0sT BL0w0utS or whatever vested message they land on each week. 
opening spiel: bill shock, alarm, the sky is falling and the federal Treasurer has to manage household budgets apparently #Insiders

opening spiel: first “Labor” budget in nine years. Tuff times for voters, little “relief” says Speers. #Insiders
the media fave frame, broken promises. Labor campaigned on cost of living, says Speers, and the prime minister has not shut the wallet completely (?) having announced billions in spending this week #Insiders
good morning☀️this Sunday on #Insiders are Guardian Aus editor Lenore Taylor, ABC newsreader Dan Bourchier and 9fax (AFR) chief political corro Phil Coorey. The interview is with Transport and Infrastructure Minister Catherine King.
opening spiel: the Treasurer’s expectation management. Speers reports the extension of PPL with the usual gallery frame: where will the money come from? Where does he think? Same place as submarine money, David. #Insiders
infrastructure announcements also on way, says Speers, who will interview the infrastructure minister today. The montage is a kind of pre-budget global economy mash up. Ukraine, US recession, coalition politicians whining, one-dimensional editorialising by Probyn. #Insiders
good morning happy Sunday☀️today on #Insiders are TSP chief corro Karen Middleton, 9fax (Age/smh) columnist Sean Kelly, and murdoch (Oz) assistant editor Cameron Stewart. The interview is with liberal party leader Peter Dutton.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders David Speers interviews (sic) Guardian politics editor Katharine Murphy, murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, murdoch melbs politics editor James Campbell and opposition Senator Jane Hume.
opening spiel: the official mourning period is over along with “political ceasefire”, says Speers. The Treasurer is working on the budget. #Insiders
the government will “get cracking” on its anti-corruption commission, says Speers, and he cites global threats as a potential recession and Ukraine. And then there is the October budget. The montage is on the budget too. #Insiders

opening spiel: a turning point in Ukraine. Xi is a “great friend” of Putin. More weaponry sought from the west by Zelenskyy #Insiders
the Australian PM is in London, and now he has met the new King [of Australia]. This absurdity goes unremarked. We will cross to one of the 29 ABC staff over there later. #Insiders

opening spiel: the GG is about to declare Charles III king of Australia. Speers says the death of QEII is a profound moment “for Australia”. It would be more profound if nobody declared Charles III our king lol #Insiders
she visited Parliament House, where Speers is now, he says again, 11 years ago. He then claims collective “affection” for QEII on behalf of 25 million people, which is simply incapable of being accurate. She was there through [lists some atrocities without blame] #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are TSP chief political corro Karen Middleton, ABC journo-at-large Fran Kelly, and Guardian Aust politics corro Sarah Martin. The interview is with Skills and Training Minister Brendan O’Connor.
opening spiel is a rundown of jobs summit announcements, including “no quick fix on wages”. Speers highlights the skilled migration intake, TAFE places and working pensioners. #Insiders
we are then told “the tone” matters as much as concrete outcomes. Last week we were told that real outcomes matter more than talkfest announcements.
This type of coverage is about media asserting control over public perception. #Insiders

Cool of media to notice now. #Insiders
Cool of media to notice now. #Insiders

opening spiel: the new parliament is about to sit. I shoulda said Burke is probably the interview as new Leader the House. Speers then lists a roll call of disasters. #Insiders

opening spiel is foreign relations - with China, in the Indo Pacific, the Wong meeting with Chinese foreign affairs minister and Albanese talking China threats at NATO #Insiders

opening spiel: hopes fade of wage rises says Speers, based on a plea from the RBA governor, who spent the last seven years calling for wage rises and for the federal government to #RaiseTheRate. #Insiders
what Albanese is not saying - a specific wage rise beyond the 5+% for workers on the minimum wage - and where he is going - to patch up relations with France (not said: which were trashed by Scott Morrison) and to shake hands with Zelensky. #Insiders

opening spiel: new cabinet sworn in, Albanese government “hit early” by energy crisis. No word on the causes of the crisis. #insiders
