oh no David what if a rich bloke empowers political candidates who are committed to action on climate instead of fossil fuel corporations giving money to the parties of government so they keep increasing emissions #NPC
last week it was press gallery journalists aggressively imposing partisan frameworks on *stopping rape*. This week it is on literal independent candidates. These people are not capable of understanding politics.
they can certainly embody the politics of envy tho.
you can see the brain cogs grinding and coughing as these journalists try to comprehend a speaker rejecting partisan political horse race nonsense.
audience appreciation for unpartisan framing is tsk tsked by Crowe lmao #NPC
extremely telling how instinctively and collectively hostile press gallery journalists are to the slightest hint of shift in a status quo that feathers all their nests.
Holmes a Court has laid out an entirely orthodox policy platform and political campaign, far more frankly than any government politician, and people who are paid big money to write about policy and political campaigns are struggling to parse his sentences. #NPC
cheesus. They are so confused by a rich bloke not playing the game that serves them all so well that they can not hear the substance of what he is saying.
speaker: lays out comprehensive policy proposals on climate, gender equality and integrity plus transparent campaign strategy.
every press club journalist: the MONEY tho??? What about the MONEY??
less talk of them doing “nothing” and more crystal clear articulation of the fact that the Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison governments have taken us backwards👏🏼👏🏼 is exactly what this campaign needs.
and we cut away from #NPC to Doran advertising Liberal Party talking points on the public broadcaster. Thanks Matt. Very important to constantly verbatim repeat lies about Labor policy, as told by Coalition politicians and press gallery journalists.

press gallery journalists obediently ensuring that a slur - so unparliamentary his mic was turned off - is crystallised in the minds of low engagement voters, by repeating it constantly. Same MO as his tax lies. Morrison will be pleased.
they are incapable of attaching the lies Liberals tell to the Liberals; or a rebuke of the prime minister to the prime minister; or economic and public health and national security vandalism to its factual source.
under cover of the pandemic they pretended that audiences and readers - expressing disgust as we came to comprehend exactly how press conferences work - just do not understand how press conferences work. Morrison grade gaslighting.
good morning☀️happy Sunday! Today on #Insiders are ABC radio and tv host Pat Karvelas, murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden and 9fax international editor Peter Hartcher. The interview is with shadow Home Affairs minister Kristina Keneally.
this thread is not fact-checked. Nor is it neutral, apolitical, or “unbiased”. These are my comments, on my twitter account. I am under no obligation to hide my position - that Morrison and the Coalition are unfit to govern - behind phoney veils of neutrality.
opening spiel: unholy mess, divided Liberal Party, weakened prime minister. #Insiders
looking like some decisive swings to Labor in the NSW by-elections. Reminder that political journos never ever cite evidence for their claims about voters distinguishing between levels of government at the ballot box. Never.
ah yes the old internally referenced metric. Trent Zimmerman says we are not seeing the kind of swing against the government you’d “expect”. Same way gallery journalists always report economic indicators as better than “expected” - for the Morrison government. All spin.
remember when the pandemic supposedly favoured incumbency because Labor decisively retained government in WA, QLD and ACT even tho the Liberals in TAS limped over the line.
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.
verbatim, he is “sorry to Miss Higgins for the terrible things that took place here”.
