good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are SBS chief political corro Anne Henderson, the West Australian bureau chief Katina Curtis, and ABC host Patricia Karvelas.
the interview is with opposition Senator Bridget McKenzie, who was once sacked from cabinet for breaching *ministerial standards of the Morrison government*. Her bloke, Simon Benson, knew about the five extra Morrison ministries and kept it from the public #Insiders
opening spiel: the Liberal Party goes after Labor but ends with one of its own senators “mired in scandal”. Speers says the Coalition “strategy” was “always going to be risky”. This minimising trash. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are Guardian Aus exec editor Lenore Taylor, murdoch political editor Samantha Maiden and AFR senior corro Jacob Greber. The interview is with Aged Care minister Anika Wells.
opening spiel: the economy slows to a crawl and fears of a recession. Interest rates up. These are cited as independent events, which is false. #Insiders
Speers then launches into the murdoch campaign against anyone who supports rape victims. He calls this “the opposition”, omitting the fact that the Liberals are trailing along behind the murdoch outlets. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are 9fax (smh/Age) culture news editor Osman Faruqi, murdoch political editor Samantha Maiden and 9fax(smh/Age) chief corro David Crowe. The interview is with Greens housing spokespo Max Chandler Mather.
opening spiel: like Dutton, Speers claims that we are all “challenged” by the BRS verdict, a lie. Lots of people already knew the military and the particularly the SES is a viciously violent and racist outfit. #Insiders
stay 2 of the spiel is how PwC makes its squillions. Another feigned head scratching routine. Again, plenty of people know these firms enrich themselves on the public purse for the benefit of a wealthy elite. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are TripleJ political reporter Shalailah Medhora, murdoch political editor Clare Armstrong and 9fax(afr)political editor Phil Coorey. The interview is with opposition foreign affairs spokesman Simon Birmingham.
opening spiel: a year since the election. Navigating great powers does not get easier, Speers tells us, that the prime minister has “discovered” this power thing. #Insiders
the Quad, and the Biden cancellation. Nobody seems to recall Obama cancelled his trip here to purportedly sort out a BP oil spill. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn, 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewett, and 9fax (smh/age) economics corro Shane Wright. The interview is with Treasurer Jim Chalmers.
hard to please everyone, opens Speers. He repeats the lies and greedy sentiment we get from the Coalition who claim to represent a “middle Australia” with no self -respect and wants endless government handouts. #Insiders
Speers then repeats the false framing about help for the poorest people. The montage features a lot of Angus Taylor. Whining Hume gets a run on her chosen constituency, the whining demanding handout-happy “middle Australia”. #Insiders
good morning👑happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC radio host Patricia Karvelas, 9fax columnist Sean Kelly and AFR senior corro Jacob Gerber. The interview is with shadow treasurer Angus Taylor.
opening spiel: budgets are about choices. Speers says, as he did last week, that we will find out about Labor Party priorities on budget night. Labor wants to do it all, he says, which is not true. #Insiders
budget editorialising. Surplus v structural deficit. The tax change on gas production, which I missed. Is this a montage? Karvelas voice over, Chalmers jogging. Gallagher saying strong a lot. Hume posturing. Lowe on inflation. #Insiders
good morning ☀️ happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are dailyaus journo Tom Crowley, murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, and murdoch columnist Peter van Onselen. The interview is with Finance Minister and Minister for Women Katy Gallagher.
opening spiel: reviews of the RBA and defence got lots of coverage; reviews on women and “helping the poor” are a headache for the government. #Insiders
the government has not rushed to accept recommendations of “its own handpicked advisory panels”. The single parent payment recs are in the womens advisory - for the obvious reason - and #RaiseTheRate is in the poverty committee recs. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday.
Today on #Insiders are TSP senior corro Karen Middleton, 9fax (Age) Indigenous affairs journo Jack Latimore and murdoch journo Clare Armstrong. The interview is with Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
Today on #Insiders are TSP senior corro Karen Middleton, 9fax (Age) Indigenous affairs journo Jack Latimore and murdoch journo Clare Armstrong. The interview is with Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price.
this thread will not be amplifying federal Liberal Party/Country Liberal Party/National Party/Coalition lies. #Insiders
opening spiel: lost a by-election, lost a shadow minister, so Dutton headed to Alice Springs to open a “new” (well canvassed extraction strategy) political brawl. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC radio host Raf Epstein, 9fax (smh/Age) columnist Niki Savva and 9fax (AFR) politician corro Phil Coorey. The interview is with LOTO Peter Dutton.
not sure when the ABC will cut to #Insiders but right now we are live-streaming a PM and Doyle presser from the seat of Aston.
okay here we go. Opening spiel: “Labor makes by-election history by” - wait for it - “taking a prize Liberal seat”. They still can not compute that no seat belongs to a political party.
#Insiders
#Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC referendum corro Dan Bourchier, 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewett and 9fax (smh/Age) senior politics corro David Crowe. The interview is with federal Attorney General Mark Dreyfus. 
reminder - TO LABOR - that the smh editorialised for Perottet, all corporate media outlets campaigned for the Coalition, and John Howard was exhumed as usual.
opening spiel: Chris Minns wins. Yet another defeat for the Liberals. Continental red-out. Speers shoe-horns a “Peter Dutton is being warned” into the spiel but not who is doing this warning. Perhaps it is Bevan. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC 730 senior politics corro Laura Tingle, 9fax (smh/Age) international editor Peter Hartcher and murdoch foreign editor Greg Sheridan. The interview is with deputy PM and defence minister Richard Marles.
opening spiel: defending Australia, helping the US, is China a threat. #Insiders
we will not get our first nuclear submarine for a decade? A few decades? Speers repeats “defend strike” sloganeering, repeats the job spruiking from the government. Coalition warmongering is “bipartisanship” while facts from Keating are Labor disunity. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! On #Insiders today are Saturday Paper senior corro Karen Middleton, ABC radio host Patricia Karvelas, and 9fax (AFR) corro Jacob Greber. The interview is with shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor.
opening spiel: “a super row” great here we go. Yet more public time on those 88K multimillionaires. Speers says the “sales pitch was messy” - thanks, newsroom bosses for prioritising millionaires - and “the opposition went into overdrive”. #Insiders
the montage, like all the coverage of this miniscule section of the population - all multimillionaires - is about building a Br0KEn Pr0miSeS narrative on behalf of wealthy tories. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC Indigenus Affairs editor Bridget Brennan, murdoch politics reporter Clare Armstrong, and Canberra Rimes columnist Professor Mark Kenny. The interview is with Climate Change and Energy minister Chris Bowen.
btw my connection is highly likely to drop out today.
opening spiel: tax breaks for the 1% could be wound back, which “Carrie’s political risk” - yes the “risk” of a media campaign for inheritance handouts. #Insiders
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
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders the interview is with Cobble Cobble Professor Megan Davis. The panel is ABC referendum corro Dan Bourchier, 9fax (Age/smh) politics corro David Crowe, and 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewitt.
opening spiel: the “big ambition” of the Albanese government. Fixing the health system, submarines, referendum. The No campaign is “grabbing attention” - a newsroom choice - says Speers. #Insiders
summary editorialising (“here’s where we are”) is a hotch potch of federal referendum and one local town. The montage is also about Mparntwe. Dutton gets a run, lying about the usual rank disunity in the Liberal Party room. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy December! Today on #Insiders are murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, ABC newsreader Dan Bourchier and ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn. The interview is with Indigenous Australians minister Linda Burney.
the government finishes the year on a high, says Speers. Significant reforms passed and Morrison censured. But the Nationals announcement on not supporting a Yes vote on the Voice referendum is “not everything went the governments way” #Insiders
the media are hyping the Nationals announcement as a No campaign. What the Nationals SAID was they will not support the proposal for a constitutionally enshrined First Nations Voice to Parliament. #Insiders
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are Guardian politics editor Katharine Murphy, murdoch politics editor James Campbell and former Costello staffer/murdoch columnist, current Costello-chaired 9fax (SMH/the Age) columnist/author of new book Niki Savva.
the interview is with employment and workplace relations minister Tony Burke. #Insiders
opening spiel: Andrews makes history, federal implications, tuff times for Liberal Party politicians. #Insiders
good morning on the bird app🐦☀️today on #Insiders are ex-murdoch now 9fax (The Age) politics corro Annika Smethurst, ABC everyman Stan Grant, and murdoch (Oz) serial temper-loser Greg Sheridan.
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
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Another Oz fest on #Insiders today with 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewett, murdoch (Oz) columnist Peter van Onselen and murdoch (Oz) political reporter Sarah Ison. The interview is with Home Affairs minister Claire O’Neil.
opening spiel: data dump, Russian hackers, has the federal government DONE ENOUGH to ensure our data is safe? #Insiders
editorialising on the “urgent need” to strengthen defences against hackers. Albanese attending conferences and meetings overseas, a weirdly critical narrative ABC has been pushing this week. The IR bill and cross bench vote. #Insiders
good morning happy Sunday☀️today on #Insiders are politics corros Amy Remeikis (Guardian Aus), Clare Armstrong (murdoch) and Dana Morse (ABC). The interview is with Kate Chaney, independent MP for Curtin (once held by former Liberal Party deputy Julie Bishop).
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
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian politics editor Katharine Murphy, 9fax (smh and Age) CPG economics corro Shane Wright and 9fax (AFR) corro Jacob Greber. The interview is with shadow treasurer Angus Taylor.
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.
opening spiel is Speers kicking the media campaign to influence tax policy along. #Insiders
more from Speers on whether the federal government is un/likely to change tax policy. The montage is a media-run tax policy campaign clip. They are out of control lol #Insiders
