Thanks for sanewashing & normalising Trump, western media. You failed to honour basic journalism & delivered potential, indescribable chaos to the world. But hey, there’ll be plenty to write about. “Hold truth to power,” my arse.

Presumably the AFR and neoliberal economists railing at how unfair Labor's HEC changes are will now campaign for an end to other unfair tax policies that favour the wealthy?
Oh, sorry, I forgot, they're about "rewarding aspiration" or "encouraging investment". As you were.
• Bridget McKenzie, Oppn Transport spokesperson, falsely claimed she'd received NO upgrades.
• She falsely claimed Bill Shorten needed to update HIS register.
• It's now reported she received ELEVEN upgrades but is waiting on Qantas bc she may need to declare more! 🙄 #auspol
We’ve had decades of neoliberalism that wreaked havoc on jobs, communities and individuals. Politicians have been brainwashed into conforming to the infallibility of the market claptrap. Good on Stephen Miles for putting people first👍
Ignore #Insiders pushing RW orthodoxy.
@strangerous10 Speers doesn’t understand that there’s 2 political parties in Palestine, neither of which enjoy majority support. Hamas seized power because Fatah were ineffective in dealing with Israeli settlers in Palestinian territory amongst other things. Stupid gotcha interview
@TimLooker Maybe representative democracy needs to start representing voters in electorates instead of well organised, well funded groups from corporate business, religious and interest groups. A novel idea I know.
This sums up my view. For too long the pat answer to the Palestinian question has been,’we support a 2 state solution’, which actually means we support Israel’s expansion into Palestinian land

Hard to argue with the logic of this statement.

As we know, the Murdochracy is hellbent on the destruction of the ABC. So why does the ABC have those hacks and blowhards on its programs ? There is no obligation to, none. They have nothing to add. If foolish people want their ideological claptrap they know where to find it.
