the actual Vic pleece is on RN saying what we are seeing in Melbourne is “mostly young aggressive men” and Fran Kelly is not coping too well. Union, she says. CFMEU. Setka. Blue collar. Radical, left wing, Antifa.
No, says the pleece. He is “focused on public order”.
LNP extremist and Morrison government backbencher George Christensen, on the other hand, is “a federal politician”. Okay Fran.
aaaand defending the appalling Morrison government vaccine procurement and distribution. O’Neill is trying to explain that hesitancy is a function of these failures.
nurses making a statement against a nazis superspreader event is solidarity, but RN would have you ask if it is a “divided union movement”.
Setka. Drink.

hundreds of thousands of people marched against the Abbot government in 2014. At the Sydney rallies I saw maybe 5 or 6 patrol cars, no more than 20 police, definitely no riot gear, and we got exactly zero media coverage.
worth remembering we were both peaceful and completely ignored in 2014 as #ausmedia provides blanket coverage - amplification, boosting nazi recruitment strategies - of violent extremists; and rush in to misdefine organised labour for their readership of the propertied classes.
the one constant is media inviting waspy tory right wing grifters to define and analyse “the left”, about which said talking heads know absofuckinglutely nothing.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian politics corro Amy Remeikis, 9fax economics editor John Tahoe and 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher. The interview is with Morrison government chief spinmeister and Finance Minister Simon Birmingham.
opening spiel is “going nuclear”, correctly pronounced; and “greater reliance on the US”. #Insiders
editorialising. We have been “watching economic coercion for years”, apparently. And have “sent a message to Beijing” too. Goodness. I thought the China trade restrictions on us began under Morrison? #Insiders

LRT Hartcher is calling it right, but he missed the opportunity to point out a common feature of Turnbull’s and Morrison’s submarine announcements - both were election campaign stops. Turnbull went on to lose 16 seats.
net loss in 2016 was 14 seats. The National Party won a single seat, and the Turnbull government was saved by Julia Banks winning Chisholm for the Liberal Party. Banks was then driven out of parliament by the wave of misogynist bullying when Morrison ousted Turnbull.
and contrary to what some press gallery gulls claim, Morrison stabbed Turnbull on purpose. Deliberately. Exactly the same MO he used to move into Treasury when Turnbull ousted Abbott. Nobody wakes up one day to discover they are prime minister. That is ludicrous illogic.

by characterising it as a blind trust, he is telling everyone that the political donation is an investment vehicle for his donor/s.
hey remember when Tony Abbott set up an anonymised trust to fund legal actions against Pauline Hanson.

in case #Insiders forgets to devote as much time to catastrophic failures by the NSW government as it did to a speech by the Queensland premier last week, a brief overview: Berejiklian has lost control of the people in eastern Sydney and of the virus in western Sydney.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are former Liberal Party staffer and 9fax columnist Niki Savva; Ch 10 co-host and columnist Waleed Aly; Guardian politics corro Sarah Martin.
Interview is with shadow minister for education and for women, Tanya Plibersek.
opening spiel: NSW unveils it’s plan to re-open. It is “high stakes” - for some - and the prime minister is cheering the premier on. Other states are anxious. #Insiders

Q: why are people dying of covid at home without being diagnosed?
Hazzard: there are people in large households who want (sic) to go on earning income.
exactly no detail on how to access your become support. The state and federal governments have set up income supports, says Hazzard, and defaults back to blaming people on low incomes in large households.
the NSW government, which has completely failed to control this outbreak, is essentially accusing low income workers in large households of killing their family members by providing for their families.
