.@theage confirms their Peter Costello influence with one of 2020's most ridiculous and biased articles. A thread ⬇️⬇️ #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

Firstly, the headline. Does anyone legitimately fear Dan? I know this is an opinion piece but when your view is nonsense it has to be called out. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

Our State Premiers (not just Dan) were thrust into the 'spotlight' as @ScottMorrisonMP delegated the pandemic response to the states. Morrison wasn't making decisions that mattered because is lazy and doesn't give a f**k. #auspol #springst #IStandwithDan #ParttimePM

How is Dan the leading case in point? Each Premier was making the big decisions for their state as Morrison wanted no part of the Pandemic response.
#auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

He did not 'impose' himself. The daily presence from a leader during a pandemic is welcomed and very much appreciated. This article is complete nonsense. #auspol #springst #IStandWithDan

How was he omnipresent? If you are 'scared' of @DanielAndrewsMP John Carroll then I suggest you stop watching his pressers and move states. The big brother comment doesn't even make sense. Does facing the media each day make you big brother? FFS
#auspol #springst #IStandwithDan

Whatever your view is on Dan, we aren't blinking and seeing something else. Take your experiment and shove it up the same place you should shove this article John Carroll. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

It's much easier to hold together during a crisis when #MSM f**ks off and doesn't publish shit like this. Take a look at the media in NSW. I'm sure it's less stressful for them when the media isn't trying to take your Premier out during a pandemic. #auspol #nswpol #springst

I wasn't alive during WW2 so I can't comment LOL. Perhaps someone else can confirm if this is complete nonsense? #auspol #springst #IStandwithDan

I want to personally thank @DanielAndrewsMP again for being 'stubborn' and ignoring #MSM and people such as @JoshFrydenberg. We are in such a strong position because of it. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

Would #MSM label @GladysB as being 'stubborn' for following health advice though? I think not!
#auspol #springst #nswpol #IstandwithDan

This is an opinion piece. That's why I haven't used the #thisisnotjournalism tag. But when you are going to publish and push on Twitter such an inflammatory and unsubstantiated claim the author should again state that the claim is THEIR OPINION, not fact. #auspol

I can suggest many other administrations for the claim of most incompetent. Such as @ScottMorrisonMP and his Government saying "LOL too hard; delegate it" during a pandemic! #auspol #springst #IStandwithDan #CanceltheAge

Furthermore, how does @TheAge allow an article (even if it is an opinion piece) to make such a claim without even providing the reasoning? We don't want the Herald Sun here and now I think The Age can f**k off too. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

Did John Carroll and @TheAge read this garbage? The previous paragraph calls @DanielAndrewsMP's administration Australia's most incompetent and now you're saying that's what is most needed? Bit of a logic fail there... #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

Wrong. There are two types. Those who like him and those who don't. It also corresponds to those who disregard #MSM's bullshit articles (like this one) and those who believe them as truth. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

This is nonsense and unsubstantiated. If he was running a one-man Government then he wouldn't need Ministers. Read the Coate report John, Dan wasn't making all the decisions so how can he be a one man Government? #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

A good #MSM would point out how Dan is not a Dictator. I guess I'll have to do it though. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan

1) He can be removed by his own Party
2) He can be removed by a no-confidence vote
3) He can be voted out
4) He had to pass an extension of extraordinary powers through Parliament
#auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

5) Those who criticise him in the media don't go missing during the night
6) He doesn't have absolute power or authority
7) He is accountable to the law
8) Dictator's don't have inquiries
#auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

9) Hacks such as @RachelBaxendale were allowed into pressers each day. He even let #LNPeta in who isn't a journalist. A dictator would not allow this.
10) You can't run opinion polls or negative media campaigns on Dictators
#auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IstandwithDan

I think I made my point. Not a Dictator. Calling him one is also an insult to those who suffer through actual dictatorships.
#auspol #springst #IStandwithDan #CanceltheAge

Good. I want my leaders to be fearful that things might get worse in a pandemic. That means he cares.
#auspol #springst #IStandwithDan

Accusing Victorians of stockholm syndrome without actually saying it. F**k off. That is all. #auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IStandwithDan

Again, there are those who believe articles like this and there are those who don't. Those who disregard this nonsense are fans of Dan. Funny how that works. #auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IstandwithDan

The people who would die if we opened up too early. That's who he is governing for.
#auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IstandwithDan

Are you saying we shouldn't have locked down? Are you an epidemiologist? No? I'll disregard your view then. #auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IStandwithDan

Sadly lockdowns lead to job losses and business closures. Better to be alive though I reckon. If only @JoshFrydenberg kept #JobSeeker going without cutting it. #auspol #springst #kooyong #canceltheage #IstandwithDan

Evidence that he was making his decisions purely to keep his 'power' and reputation intact? *Checks article* Nope none. Disregard this nonsense statement. #auspol #springst #CanceltheAge #IstandwithDan

Has John read the Coate Report? It would seem not. Dan isn't the DHHS minister. It isn't his role to keep it functional. The report lists key findings and recommendations on the DHHS but it doesn't blame Dan for them. #auspol #springst #canceltheAge #Istandwithdan

The whole country will take years to fully recover due to @JoshFrydenberg's awful financial management!
We were heading into a recession BEFORE covid! #auspol #springst #kooyong #IStandwithDan #CanceltheAge

What is it? 60 days now in a row with no community transmission. If we took @GladysB's approach with no masks and minimal lockdowns we would not be in this position. #auspol #springst #MaskupNSW #IstandwithDan #canceltheage

What if I told you that it has been the same @DanielAndrewsMP the entire time? The admiration and gratitude is appropriate and deserved. #auspol #thanksDan #springst #IstandwithDan #Canceltheage

CONFIRMED: Author of this rubbish opinion piece (John Carroll) has NOT read the Coate Report. The Coate Report shows Federal Government incompetence, provokes thoughts on the ADF lie and highlights DHHS issues. #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

How do I know he hasn't read it? Because I've read the whole thing and I know what's in it! #auspol #springst #IStandwithDan #canceltheAge

The Victorian Public actually asks "When with #MSM f**k off and leave us alone?" #auspol #springst #IstandwithDan #CanceltheAge

We want the appropriate touch, not a light one. Thankfully we got that. You can't put this statement at the end though John, from reading the article it is clear that John Carroll wants @DanielAndrewsMP to resign. #auspol #msm #springst #CanceltheAge #IstandwithDan

In summary, how did the @TheAge let this rubbish get published? There is a difference between an opinion and outright fabrication. If I wrote an article on my views on @ScottMorrisonMP, would it be published? I doubt it. @TheAge has no standards now. Cancel them!

.@PRGuy17 with the goods on how to cancel the Age. Which I'm sure you'll all want to do after reading this thread and article.
