rennal assistance, which gives $5.1 billion straight to landlords.
farren ownership.
Royal care. More norses. He then says if you set a standard you have to meet those standards🥸
shouty Scott is off the chain. His voice is shredding my eardrums.
when I went to the whidearse. Rare urs development.
he played credit to Julia Gillard. The NDIS is not welfare. He and Jenny have been blessed. Says twice that NDIS is more expensive than Medicare.
Morrison does a Hank Jongen on the cuts to NDIS funding for this one child and says he will get her details after. Tells the audience that he credits “Bill” and “Julia” and then recites the usual barefaced lies about disastrous Coalition economic management.
the GFC “back happened over a decade ago”.
nothing ideological in the industrial lations changes they were going to make but didn’t, says Morrison.
Anthony. [You do not run the Sky news debate] Anthony.
he “was out in Enoggera”, says Morrison. “It’s just a fact, it’s true”, says he.
lmaooooo he “was criticised for being too strong” lies Morrison. They accused him of being racist, he shouts.
keeps sending Scott the bat signal to lower his voice and it lasts about 20 seconds. Anyway I’m out.

lemme save you four minutes. This is dross. Its final, pitiful pitch - as part of the editorial reset that the ABC has attempted today without conceding any fault - is to conflate the press with voters who do not have an influential legacy media platform.
without conceding error, press gallery journalists and their colleagues on the campaign buses are the problem, not the solution. This pretzeling is crumbs for gulls and rubes. Classic fail trap. Strictly an oh well we tried and there’s no pleasing some people strategy.
admit the errors. Concede the mistakes. Own the misjudgements.
They won’t because they can’t.
good morning from unceded Darug lands☀️today on #Insiders are murdoch politics editor Samantha Maiden, 9fax politics editor Peter Hartcher, and ABC politics editor Andrew Probyn. It is an unnecessary and indulgent 90 minute show with two interviews.
the interviews are with shadow health minister Mark Butler and foreign affairs prime minister for women Marise Payne #Insiders.
This thread is not fact-checked. It is not apartisan, and I reject phoney bothsides framing. I also block snitch taggers and am not your dictionary.
opening spiel: The Gaffe. Morrison’s transphobia. “Vulnerabilities” of leaders are bothsided.
What’s the Morrison perspective, skip? he may not be popular but we should vote for him anyway. The Gaffe. Transphobia, again. #Insiders
9fax journo: the press know nothing at all about each Morrison campaign stop; and their practice is to produce accompanying copy for staged photo opps, which they then distribute to voters.
Media provide this service at no cost to the Liberal Party.
something that really irritates me is media operatives who assume selfies indicate approval or support for a high profile public figure. It is not. People just take them. It is the fame, not popularity.
the way they normalise Morrison very publicly role-modelling OHS breaches, broadcast far and wide almost every day, also gets right up my nose. A much more material concern than reciting numbers imo.
it is surreal to me when economists marvel like this at how capitalism works. Corporations are not co-operatives. The structural inequality capitalism causes - and is designed to maintain - is not some kind of vague exception to the system.
bold claim here from a bloke who spent two weeks projecting his personal political priorities onto a dead Senator.
Full 3-judge bench of the NSW Supreme Court of Appeal: lol no go home. Stop wasting the courts time.
Political journalism: the NSW Supreme Court has decided/ruled/determined/settled/dismissed Sydney Liberals [factional brawling].
found to be valid (sic) ABC radio news bulletin is “reporting” a judicial finding on the application. Of validity. In a Sydney Liberals factional brawl. They are implying the Scott faction had a legal victory too. Dismal stuff.
daily I gnash my teeth at press gallery illiteracy. The wilful ignorance of feminist analysis. The innumerate fiscal policy “reports”. Repeated erasure and obfuscation of racism. But the legalese bungling drives me bonkers. Surely they have people who can advise on this stuff.
