@LiberalAus

1
As a male I have always despised @LiberalAus for it`s treatment of workers
Libs hate universal healthcare, public schools, blue collar superannuation & equal rights for women
The ABC has returned to 60`s style of @AustralianLabor bashing

@ABCaustralia

2
In the 60`s, Labor was "that other lot" according to @ABCaustralia
Menzies used the McCarthyism "Reds Under The Beds" which he & the ABC linked to Labor in order keep them out of power
In the 60`s the #ABC was the doyen of televised media

3
The #ABC has never really been the "people`s media" as it always promoted highly conservative geopolitical views :ie Tory/Royalist & Autocratic
It was revamped somewhat to a more balanced nuance during the Hawke/Keating 13 yr era

4
But John Howard quickly returned the Tory/Royalist manifesto to it`s board & senior management
Jumping to the Gillard era, can you imagine the #ABC doing a "At Home With Scott & Jen" type short series as they did with "At Home With Julia" ?

@TheIPA

5
Rupert Murdoch`s @TheIPA are gaming the #ABC, Australia is being trolled by @newscorpaus within it`s ranks
Do not ever forget "The Joke Is On Us" & has been since Menzies took office & the IPA came into existence bighead1883.wordpress.com/2021/01/21/the…

@unionsaustralia

6
The next trick on #ABC`s agenda will be a Thatcherism type attack of @unionsaustralia
Libs & IPA hate the unions
They hate penalty rates
They hate sick leave & holiday entitlements
Porter`s #IRBill is the most dangerous anti worker legislation since #WorkChoices

@IndustrySuper

7
Finale`
Liberal/IPA despise @IndustrySuper
They despise that they outperform the #RetailFunds owned by their biggest supporters , the Banks
The #ABC choose not to report on this fact
Think about all this when you vote next federal election

My thoughts 👇🏼
Facebook restricts Australian audiences, publishers from sharing, viewing news

It began two day`s ago for me on FB when I tried to share @MarkMcGowanMP #covid19 daily reporting
My shares each day were [taken from public viewing?

2
FB told me only I could see them & they were against FB community standards

I used their box ticking to complain of their decision

I now see that news sharing has stopped on FB for Australians

@newscorpaus

3
I look at this in the reality that this is now a good thing because @newscorpaus propaganda cannot be shared on FB
Stokes/Costello propaganda cannot be shared
#QAnon propaganda cannot be shared
#AntiVaxxer/ #AntiCC propaganda cannot be shared
etc

From @Tony_Burke {worst}
1. This is very telling. Scott Morrison isn’t out spruiking his industrial relations changes. He isn’t making the case for them. He isn’t even defending them in the Parliament. Instead - bizarrely - he’s pretending they don’t exist.

2/1
The Coalition’s slide into Trumpian black-is-white up-is-down post-truth politics continues.

2/2
2. Christian Porter is playing the same denial game. On Thursday Anthony pointed to the exact part of their IR Bill that allows for pay cuts. Porter then stood up, read out the first three words of the clause and pretended the rest didn’t exist

From @Tony_Burke
1. This week Labor’s focus was jobs. Not just any jobs: secure jobs with decent pay. That’s what Australians need coming out of this pandemic, that’s what the Labor Party wants to deliver and that’s what Scott Morrison’s industrial relations changes fail

2
to deliver. We used almost every question this week to pursue the government over their IR scheme, which will allow huge pay cuts for workers. Penalty rates, shift allowances and other entitlements: they’re all on the chopping block for millions of workers.

3
Anthony Albanese led the attack each day with follow-up questions from Richard Marles and myself. Backbenchers Emma McBride, Ged Kearney, Steve Georganas, Rob Mitchell and Kristy McBain also asked questions detailing the impact of the potential pay cuts on ordinary people.

IDK how many feel as I do that the Morrison lead government will not bring out #Budget2021
For all thinking people it appears the we are now in an undeclared Federal election campaign
The impact of the Opposition`s attack on all of Morrison`s failures

2
has finally cut through
Media cannot find positives to promote this LNP government any further
A further eroding of the Democratic process in shutting down debate in #HoR question time cannot be defended by the #MSM, nor can it be glossed over

3
Also, the impact of the new US Biden admin with it`s #NetZeroBy2050 & return to the #ParisAgreement will see Morrison not only further sidelined by global powers it will see him totally isolated in #ClimateChangeDenialism

The impact on reducing #covidstimulus
