@CannLawAus@dettershankMP@rachelpayneMP I've been saying it all along. This government has taken this crossbench for a one term joyride holding a carrot at the end of the stick only to be kicking this can down the road again hoping they won't be in power next time. They only understand dirty play, time to pull support.
@dettershankMP Mate.. just heard the whole interview. The fact that the Allan govt. hasn't even met with you after 6 months speaks volumes of disrespect to the crossbench. Meanwhile how many people every single day in Vic are still being arrested? They don't deserve ANY crossbench support! ๐
@dettershankMP It's been almost 18 months since having a progressive crossbench with some clout @VictorianGreens@AJP_Victoria@lcvicparty, and from the outside looking in it seems the govt has taken you all for a bit of a one term joyride. Whole thing is just so disappointing.
@dettershankMP Support should have eroded when it was evident they stalled on driving law reforms. They're always holding a carrot at the end of the stick hoping next elections you won't have the seats let alone the power you hold now. Seize the opportunity, they only understand playing dirty.
@purplepingers If anything you've exposed that it's the same people that didn't want to help refugees because they said they'd rather help our own first, never wanted to help our own either. ๐
@georgievpurcell Of course, they're using both you and @lcvicparty giving you guys false hopes to keep kicking these cans down the road. Block everything until you guys get what you were voted in for. Sadly. playing dirty is all they understand.
News biasing on @ABCnews?
See how the original headline has been changedโฆ misleading people who only browse the headlines.
Original:
โAt least 25 dead in Ukrainian strike on marketplace in Russia-annexed city of Donetskโ
Changed to:
โAt least 25 killed in Donetsk strike as Russian gas producer Novatek suspends terminal operationsโ
๐ The change has removed โUkrainianโ agency for the bloody attack on civilians.
๐๐ And a new issue added about gas has allowed the word โRussianโ to instead be placed in the headline.
๐๐๐ You see what this has done โ subtlety slanting the bad news away from Ukraine.
By changing the headline to โ25 killed as Russia suspends..โ, it is making it seem the deaths were a consequence of the Russian action, not a Ukrainian attack.
๐ฅ The bombing of a marketplace used to be big news, when the Russians could be blamed.
๐ฅ๐ฅ Note that the word โmarketplaceโ has also been removed from the headline allowing readers to think it might have been a military target.
๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ See that none of the available images of actual dead bodies of civilians gets shown, when Ukraine is the killer.
