the federal energy minister is reciting electricity price talking points - speculative claims, no evidence, market theory gibberish - on RN as Liberal Party politicians have been doing in every election campaign since 2010.
it is not that they are committed to being honest with the electorate on how Jurassic their policy is and how clueless their ministers. It is a fundamental incapacity to adapt to contemporary reality. They are unfit in every sense.
ABC journalists repeating the racist attack on Labor, again and again. Four times in 5 minutes from Karvelas. Echoed, twice, by Speers. Laundering Liberal Party lies. Gifting airtime to Liberal Party politicians for pushing natsec propaganda.
asked if these irresponsible racist attacks are resonating in the electorate, Speers calls it “blunt force” and says “they are doing this for a reason”.
The reason is you, David.
more on the industry rejection of federal Liberal Party politicians and their wantonly destructive energy policy settings here.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are 9fax columnist Jennifer Hewett, 9fax columnist and former Liberal Party staffer to 9fax chair Niki Savva, and murdoch editor James Campbell. The interview is with Liberal Party backbencher James Paterson.
this thread is not factchecked. It is not reporting. This is comment, representing nothing and nobody else. I block snitch taggers. Regular reminder that whatever Speers frames as “bad news” for the pro-emissions pro-corruption pro-sex offender party is good news for the polity.
opening spiel: “the prime minister has set his comeback course”: cue Speers repeating Liberal Party campaign messaging, for free.
the Guardian could have chosen a picture of Liberal Party politicians for the thumbnail on a story about Liberal Party attack ads. But they chose to publish the attack ads - for free - instead. This is how it works.
for the 2019 election, the corporate press advertised Liberal Party death tax lies every single day. We are still three months out from the 2022 election and already they are obediently enabling and facilitating the Liberal Party campaign.
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.
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.
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.
