these are two of the best speeches I have seen. Remember to brace for the backlash #NPC
show us who stayed seated you cowards #NPC
I hope these press club members are taking notes on how to accurately describe Morrison and his government.
not only did they take no prisoners in their speeches, these women are running rings around press gallery journalists. Good.
Grace Tame is delivering an absolute MASTERCLASS on silence here✊🏼
poor Max has been seated next to chief mopper upper, mr torch-bearing banality of evil himself.
god these journalists. Seeing how badly they want to apply partisan politics to rape is shameful.

another massive fish kill caused by colonial mismanagement and look at the word choices here. Image
this again. We learn nothing.

it was this time three years ago that the ruling parties in NSW and federally were re-elected despite million+ dead fish on their watch.

looks like the prime minister has done a campaign event in the parliament making extremely high profile comments on a forthcoming criminal trial before the ACT Supreme Court.
he directly apologised to the [alleged] victim of a serious sexual offence for the terrible things that [are alleged to have] happened to her in the parliament. Image
verbatim, he is “sorry to Miss Higgins for the terrible things that took place here”.

the prime minister Scott Morrison announced deployment of 1700 military personnel to aged neglect facilities in a stump speech today. Here is some fine print on the last Liberal Party campaign announcement that was advertised for free by every major media outlet. Image
to translate two of their fave fetishes - economic management and militarisation - the Morrison government is now distorting the labour market in aged neglect by simultaneously opposing a wage rise (wages are the price signal of labour markets) and deploying the ADF.
don’t say I never tell ya nothing about 1/ Liberal Party economic management lies; 2/ Morrison’s obsession with militarisation; and 3/ hopelessly compromised wilful ignorance of the Canberra Press Gallery in failing to join the dots on both.

classic Morrison government. Like its model for covering up corruption and its bill for expanding religious discrimination, we get Sex Discrimination report responses deliberately designed to ensure sexual misconduct is deflected, delayed, still committed with impunity. Image
more campaign comms bullshit. Anything but take action to end harassment and abuse hey. Image
regular reminder the Morrison government predictably does worse than nothing. Not nothing. Worse. Then they campaign on doing the thing which is worse than nothing, like hounding unemployed people to misery and death then shouting about the unemployment rate.

good morning! Happy Sunday☀️this week on #Insiders are Guardian Aus politics corro Sarah Martin; Sat Paper politics corro Karen Middleton; and ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn.
The interview is with Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews.
This thread is not fact checked.
opening spiel : a hypocrite a liar a horrible person and a liar are “savage character assessments of the prime minister” says Speers.
What’s the Morrison perspective, skip? Well, it was meant to be the week of government re-set #Insiders
ministers insisted the prime minister is a fine fellow, Speers tells us, omitting the crucial detail - they spoke to how he treats his ministers, not the contempt he displays to the electorate or cruelty to entire population sectors. #Insiders

hey remember when Sarah Ferguson got a promotion to cover the 6 Jan insurrection after promoting one of its key protagonists on an apparently serious Australian investigative journalism show.
journalism loves rich white males with incumbent power, episode infinity.
literally impossible to picture #NPC giving a platform to anyone who would represent the progressive equivalent of a Clive Palmer. Where are the invites to BLM folks and unemployment activists?
