The reinvention of the Liberal party as the heroes who "freed" Australia from lockdowns, and the media's happy compliance with this revisionist narrative, is the thing that is finally going to break my brain.🤯 Related to this, the way the Coalition is weaponising mental health as a way to position themselves as the lockdown-ending heroes is particularly galling from a party that has shown such flagrant disregard for the mental wellbeing of young people, and the community more broadly

Dan Andrews really has perfected the art of fronting up each day to give the perception of transparency and accountability but then not actually saying anything. You can't say the Minister has "made the appropriate decision" by resigning but then not explain why you think it was the right decision.

But it does make it quite satisfying when the person who answers the phone asks why you’re cancelling and you get to say: “Because most of your serious journalists have now left and I can’t in good conscience continue to prop up a rabid propaganda machine for the extreme right.”

And when I said exactly those words to the guy on the end of the phone at Oz subscriptions he said: “Yeah, fair enough. We’ve been getting that a lot lately.” The evil empire is crumbling.
