1/ THE LNP RECIPE FOR SUCCESS:

👉🏻1 x national Propaganda media network
👉🏻Unprecedented misuse of public funds (also called taxpayer $)
👉🏻Funding from far right billionaires
👉🏻Misuse of Parliamentary process

Here’s THE METHOD …#auspol

2/ THE METHOD begins with daily stirring of the Murdoch propaganda network with LNP media releases & photo opps. When stirred properly it will create & distribute lies (of all sizes) & continuously deflect from or completely ignore major govt issues important to citizens. #auspol

3/ Entirely undeserved positive voter perception of LNP is the incredible result, if the method of daily stirring of propaganda is followed religiously…Repeat this part of the method for full term. Note: rapidly increase stirring near election. #auspol

4/ While stirring the propaganda network daily it is very important, you must also INDUSTRIALISE CORRUPTION. To do this, pour unprecedented amounts - BILLIONS of taxpayer $ into marginal electorate seats to help create favourable LNP voting outcomes. #auspol

5/At this stage it is crucial to the recipe that LNP override expert assessment & recommendations of grant & other funding applications by senior public service officers with the addition of coloured spreadsheets & LNP ‘Ministerial Discretion’ nod / wink. Much discretion. #auspol

6/This is a very dangerous part of the recipe. Fund 1 in 10 opposition seats to create an audacious wafer thin argument for balance & fairness if your industrialised misuse of funds is revealed in public. If revealed, respond, deadpan: “Nothing to see here folks.” #auspol

7/ Gigantic misuse of public funds should not stop at funding seats you want to win. Separately LNP must make billions of taxpayer $ simply disappear & / or transfer to opaque corporate interests eg. Kangaroo Island beach shack, GBRF, Watergate 💧 etc. #FederalICAC #auspol

8/ Constantly treating public funds as your own (ie. property of LNP) is only a dangerous part of the recipe if you have to face consequences. Avoid consequences by working the propaganda network effectively & supplying constant favours to billionaires… #i360 #auspol

9/ Favouring right wing billionaires incentivises them to keep you in power & away from a #FederalICAC they may even be drawn into. Funding from billionaires is key to LNP re-election chances since most people don’t financially support LNP (& billionaires own the LNP anyway).

10/ Libs & Nats are both minor parties (without an alliance), lacking popular support. Funding from billionaires is therefore crucial. The 2022 recipe conveniently uses a right wing political party (UAP) to pour at least $60 million into election advertising to benefit LNP.

11/ The $60 million UAP campaign budget is ostensibly for UAP purposes but in reality it is to harvest preference votes for LNP to claim or retain seats. UAP election advertising is focused online & via social media, much of it targeted to psychographically profiled voters.

12/ These voters are unknowingly targeted with forensic accuracy, marked as susceptible to particular right wing messages, fears & lies. This is a borrowed part of Trump recipe method & was also used in the 2019 federal election by LNP through company #i360. #auspol #FederalICAC

13/ While general UAP (proxy LNP) election ads begin well ahead of the election, the hyper-personal targeting of online advertising becomes fully focused nearing election including targeting CHILDREN attempting to develop them as vote influencers at a family level. #auspol

14/ Ongoing misuse of federal parliamentary process & accepted democratic norms during their LNP term in office is the final crucial component to a successful recipe. The words “I move that the Member no longer be heard” must be SPECIFICALLY INVOKED in Parliament, repeatedly.

15/ While the words “I move that the Member no longer be heard,” are 110 years old & were ONLY previously used in Parliament for a rare & specific reason - to prevent long winded monologues by Members, the recipe calls for their repeated & common MISUSE by LNP to gag Opposition.

16/ Using this method of the use of a phrase in an undemocratic way it was never intended for, Opposition Members are continuously & effectively silenced in Parliament on issues of vital importance to citizens but way too confronting for LNP - who control the House. #auspol

17/ Repeatedly we see secrecy & lack of transparency keep LNP Ministers & propaganda unsullied by inconvenient truths. Why is it that every day LNP have a new issue to cover up? & why does no Minister ever face consequences? Because that’s the LNP: secret, opaque, untrustworthy.

18/ When they add all four main ingredients together using the prescribed method, the LNP give themselves the best chance of an undemocratic election win & avoidance of legal & other serious consequences of industrialised corruption that may be revealed in a federal ICAC #auspol

19/ LNP have a destructive need to retain power, based on NEGATIVES. Murdoch propaganda skews reality & truth. Misuse of tax $ punishes the deserving & rewards the undeserving. Billionaire influences wildly distort priorities. Gagging legitimate debate is anti-democratic. Enough!

20/ In 2022 the LNP objective is to win the election at all costs to avoid legal & other accountability & retain power for power's sake. Australia has a very serious issue. WE MUST ENSURE LNP DO NOT WIN ANOTHER TERM. Our democracy, our identity & our environment can't survive it.

21/ Ask yourself - what has LNP cost you? What’s the cost to your environment? Or your health? Your family? The cost to your business & dreams? And have they paid for it? Not yet. If you just convert ONE previous LNP voter away from LNP in 2022 they’re gone. Do it. Make them pay.
