1/ BREAKING: Seymour interview w/-Mihi Forbes:
At 13.10 she asks about ACT links to #AtlasNetwork thinktanks. He says its a crazy conspiracy, flat denies it. Here he is with Atlas CEO Brad Lips at an 'Atlas Thinktank MBA' event. Frontier Centre a 🇨🇦Atlas org.
#toitūtetiriti 2/ Seymour was by 2008 with the Frontier Centre: one of 12 organisations listed in the Atlas global partner directory in Canada. In 2010, he was their 'senior policy analyst'.
URGENT, THREAD: Perhaps 0.5 million have now seen my research & media appearances exposing the oil-founded #AtlasNetwork's Australian branch as the origin and mass communication infrastructure of the #VoteNo campaign to deny First Nations a #VoiceToParliament. The story so far:

Good question! 🧵1/16 . Price and Mundine are uncritically platformed to campaign against Voice, Treaty & Truth. Evidence suggests they speak not with the authority of any First Nations community but for fossil fuel/mining corporates. #auspol#voteyes❤️💛🖤👇
2/16 The anti-Voice campaign is being run by the Australian branch of the global Atlas Network of 500+ neoliberal ‘research institutes’, esp. the Centre for Independent Studies, which fosters the careers of Mundine and Price.👇
#EXCLUSIVE John Howard is a member of the neoliberal Mont Pelerin Society, an elite club of far-right economists, ex-aristocrats, oil billionaires & propagandists for global corporations. Infamously, the MPS wrote economic policy & the constitution of Pinochet's dictatorship.🧵
