sounds like the first election victory speech in this country to open with an acknowledgement, which is of unceded Kaurna country, of elders past and present, and a statement of commitment to Voice Treaty Truth✊🏼
in contrast, the ABC commentators have consistently referred to the leader of the successful party and incoming Premier as a former union leader and member of the shoppies because they just can not help themselves.
incoming SA Premier Peter Malinauskas gives a shout out to deputy leader Dr Susan Close who has a PhD in political science and to longest serving SA state MP Anastasious Tom Koutsantonis.
shout out to unions👏🏼👏🏼
shout out to ambos👏🏼👏🏼
parents, grandparents, and parents in law 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
shout out to Syrian refugees from a town just outside Aleppo voting for the first time today. More applause.

good morning from unceded lands of the sovereign Darug people☀️today on #Insiders are murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, murdoch foreign policy columnist Greg Sheridan and former fairfax national affairs editor, Professor Mark Kenny.
the interview is with Morrison government finance minister and federal Liberal Party campaign manager Simon Birmingham.
This thread is not fact checked. It is not and does not pretend to be neutral, objective, or impartial.
opening spiel: Labor wins in South Australia, first pandemic change of government, incumbency myth repeated. #Insiders
Green keeps saying there is nothing meaningful in the early figures (he has to bc tiny samples) but all the data sets he has shown are indicating the swing is well and truly on from where I sit.
lots of tiny samples, swings away from the Liberals in each and every one.
the minority SA government looks like retaining most safe seats and perhaps losing a couple to Independents, and losing most marginals to Labor.
they know Abbott rode this lousy Coalition government to power on a wave of aggressive misogyny right? That Scott Morrison reached the PMO by targeting and bullying women in the Liberal Party room? That Liberal Party politicians are promoted and admired for toxic masculinity?
the funniest creepiest tweets on this are professor van onselen repeatedly reply-guying “big swinging dicks” to punters, but not on his own post. The OP is a highly successful woman journalist.
top women journalists in the press gallery have published serious analysis ~about Labor Party internals~ that conveniently erases both hypocritical histrionics from Liberal Party politicians and the disgraceful media feeding frenzy.
it is not a tightrope. That’s a thing circus performers do. It is a stimulus measure that has known multiplier effects on quarterly figures which these men will then “report” during the election campaign to promote Liberal Party lies.
“news value” means “of value to news outlets”. It does not mean “has more value to society than other competing news stories among the abstract total of all stories available to be told in news bulletins today”.
journalists could use this platform to clarify the difference between what “news value” actually means - to media operatives - and the useful false assumption that it means something of value to audiences, readers, voters, or society at large.
every time I turn on the ABC these last two days, a member of the herd is reciting misinformation to their audiences about corrupted spending of public money by her majestys government and election campaign promises made by her majestys loyal opposition.
