the logic here is that by consenting to sex with a man, we necessarily consent to an abusive relationship. No surprise that men who join the Liberal Party think like this.
Porter, a disgraced backbencher: “turbulent year” and is “calling time on his ministerial career”.
Tudge: allegations “denied” and has “taken leave”.
Van: was it a bark? A growl? Just a man in a mask? “Extraordinary”. And his denial was an apology, apparently (ABC Sydney radio).
every verbatim detail on Senator Thorpe tho. With bonus ww “autism” interpretation. Plus what Stoker thinks of something a political opponent said. Glover then says “it must be because their blood up”.
we will know the political class is serious when the talking heads offer critique of structural power and feminist analysis of patriarchy and toxic masculinity. All this gabbing about stressful workloads and “imbalance” is more of the same old tired excuses.
“the prime minister acted swiftly” lmao plz. What exactly has he done. Believed a man, lied about how consent works, and kicked more delays and cover-ups into gear, which he calls “a review”.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are murdoch editor James Campbell, former murdoch columnist and ex-Costello staffer now 9fax columnist Niki Savva and 9fax government correspondent Phil Coorey.
The interview is with Treasurer Josh Frydenberg.
opening spiel: Labor has decided it does want an election on climate change.
What’s the Morrison perspective, skip? Well, the “government immediately pounced” [insert tax lie, repeated obediently by Speers] but business is “siding with Labor”. #Insiders
the montage soundtrack is Stevie Nicks. It is about rampant sexual violence (called “culture”) and bullying in the parliament. Hollie Hughes gets lots of sympathy. A reckoning, apparently. Despite strong tory resistance to change. #Insiders

yep, Morrison is bold and hateful enough to use LGBTQI+ teachers to attack the Andrews government as federal election campaign strategy. That’s where endless press gallery endorsement of Liberal Party nastiness gets us.
they still blab on about voters separating state and federal issues in our tiny voting heads when it suits their partisan agenda but federal-state conflict journalism is irresistible to the CPG eg coverage of Morrison’s massive fail campaigning in the 2020 Queensland election.
when a 3-time women-led incumbent Labor government increased its vote even tho messiah complex man himself was up there campaigning his coal dead heart out with the usual vote-buying announcements and military props and other toxic stunts.

tagging along with the Morrison comms, as they do.
women work much longer hours than males, for far less cash. The “hard work = sexual harassment” trope is patriarchal nonsense.
some feminist literacy in the public domain would not go astray.

Hunt is holding a clashing presser with the prime minister. He says “the prime minister and myself” several times tho. The government is still falling apart at the seams then.
Hunt has a professor with him. ABC TV news then cuts away from Hunt in Melbourne and goes back to Morrison in Canberra.
Pressers at ten paces on an actually serious matter, the omicron variant, and manufacturing fear, Morrison’s desire to extend control our social media accounts.
Morrison is still saying safe, safety, safely over and over. The strategy could not be more obvious. Asked about the Solomon Islands, he refs the “Minister for Defence” - not Peter - and recites safety free country etc etc a few more times.

Morrison is up. Claiming he follows “medical expert advice”, a lie. Segues across to Solomon Islands. Then gets down to the campaign stump speech, which is on imposing his government into peoples lives on social media.
ramping up the fear factor. Safe safe safe. Risk risk risk. He says social media trolling is “corrosive”, which is how Sam Maiden described him and his ICAC attack on #Insiders this morning.
lmao Morrison is telling everyone to be scared of bigots *on social media*. He weaponises women victims who are stalked online and experience “terrible abuse” for his government interference and control bill.

good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are Guardian politics editor Katharine Murphy, murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden and 9fax (AFR) columnist Jennifer Hewett. The interview is with Anne Ruston, a woman, and Morrison government social services minister.
opening spiel: “keeping the faith”.
what’s the Morrison perspective, skip?
well, the prime minister wants to “end religious discrimination” lol #Insiders
Morrison tried to marshal “his troops” but apparently failed. The montage is on Coalition chaos and disunity. Canavan appropriating an abortion campaign principle gets a run. Lambie’s goddamn bloody adult does too. Soundtrack is house of fun (Madness?) #Insiders
