Reminder - before I get cranky tomorrow - International Women's Day is a UN initiative and this year theme is:
"Cracking the Code: Innovation for a gender equal future".
The site that comes up & often quoted by corporates is NOT who you should heed.
If you see International Women's Day #IWD2023 stuff and it is using a hashtag about "embracing equality" it is from the spiv corporate hijack site, not the official UN site, please don't reward them ☹️
Thanks to @pidgeo now stuck on a certain period of music so going to make twitter share @LacyMartini 'fetus songs' being played in the office this morning 🤔 #SharingIsCaring#CaitsFetusSongsopen.spotify.com/playlist/6QHLJ…
🎶You hold a candle in your heart
You shine the light on hidden parts
You make the whole world want to dance
You bought yourself a second chance 🎶
Really good to hear Cameron Dick (ALP) putting it all on men, it being a men's problem, a problem for men to fix, for men to demand better of other men.
David Janetzki (LNP) talking about #EnoughIsEnough talking about true cry for national action.
This piece from 2011 by Jay Rosen is really interesting in light of attitude of many punter to many News Corp journos losing job yesterday.
I see many journalists blaming punters or treating them with disdain for not supporting them, maybe look at why? abc.net.au/news/2011-08-3…
We really do need journalists. The average person doesn't have same access to find out what Government is doing.
Journalists need support of people when under siege from a government that does not want any accountability or transparency and makes their job impossible to do.

This is how likes of Courier Mail spreads their misleading articles further.
Exhibit A. Todays front page:
"Worker who put Shorten on spot over tax cuts for high-income earners suspended by employer"
Obviously the inference is this poor bugger asked an inconvenient question and has now been punted for it.
What pressure did Bill/ALP/Unions put on this 'experienced electrical engineer' for having the temerity to hold Bill Shorten to account. UGH!

Bullshit! I am not buying this denial.
A. Lenore Taylor is a bloody good journalist & would not report without due diligence.
B. Morrison & co have shown by their words & actions over the years they love the race-baiting as an election strategy.

The government is just now realising that all the mainstreaming of hate they have done over the years is coming back to bite them in the arse.
Let's face it, these pricks wanted a terror attack, just not the one they got.

Serious question to journalists? 'retiree tax' & 'housing tax' are Liberal campaign slogans. Not actual 'things' at all?
Below says "attack". So what should be reported?
Woohoo! An 'attack slogan' is successful, go you good thing?
Or
"attack slogan" misleading voters?
I'm not asking this to have a go at Bevan, just the priority when it comes to journalism?
Importance of marketing success of campaign
vs
Importance of correctly informing the public as to what they need to know?
Thinking of Trump success? Would think 'reality' more important?

Friendly reminder:
Too many journalists more interested in the 'game of politics' & 'sensational statements' of candidates' is why the US currently has Trump destroying their nation and shitting on all their respected "conventions" of Govt.
#Auspol should beware of same here.
This is a serious issue. As the US found, many of the 'conventions of Government' that Trump trashes are not rules, not part of the Constitution, just 'conventions' which all flavour of President had respected.
Riding roughshod over 'conventions' is a slippery slope.
