ALBANESE HOUSE ATTACK:
The Saturation of Media Bias

In October 2024, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his fiancée, Jodie Haydon, purchased a $4.3 million clifftop home in Copacabana. Despite the PM explaining the purchase was a future home for a "proud Coasty" and selling his Dulwich Hill investment to fund it, the mainstream media (MSM) response was a relentless, three-week-long "ramming".

The MSM went wild:

• Broadcasters:
Every major network (ABC, Seven, Nine, Ten, Sky) led with the story for days.

• Print/Online:
The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, and The Australian published dozens of opinion pieces and "explainers" scrutinising the PM's portfolio.

• Duration:
Intense coverage lasted for three weeks, continuing until his Dulwich Hill property sold in late November.

While Peter Dutton—whose own prior property holdings significantly exceed that value—largely escaped such a sustained character assault, we now see a similar "pass" being handed to the new Liberal leader.

ENTER ANGUS TAYLOR: The Silent Empire
While the media fixated on Albo’s single residential purchase, the newly elected Liberal leader, Angus Taylor, sits atop a vast property empire that remains largely unscrutinized by the same MSM outlets.

Here is what the media isn't "ramming" him for:

• Massive Land Holdings:
Taylor holds interests in nearly 3,000 hectares of New South Wales land. This includes over 2,500 hectares held through corporate structures like Maclaughlin River Holdings No. 2.

• The "Blue-Chip" Windfall:
Before moving to his electorate, Taylor and his wife, Louise Clegg, sold a five-bedroom mansion in the exclusive Sydney suburb of Woollahra for $6.77 million. They netted a $2.47 million capital gain on that single property alone. (Don't mention CGT)

• A Web of Trusts:
Unlike a straightforward residential mortgage, Taylor’s interests are buried in a network of private companies and family trusts, including Gufee Pty Ltd, the AJ & L Taylor Family Trust, and the Maclaughlin River Land Trust No. 1.

• Recent Acquisitions:
Between May 2023 and June 2025, four properties were transferred into his corporate structures with no price listed, including 2,000 hectares in Mount Cooper and 500 hectares in Holts Flat.

• The "Regional" Investor:
His portfolio includes a $860,000 parcel in Bemboka bought in 2021 and a 140-hectare property in Gundary that serves as a registered address for his family trust.

The Targeted Bias

The contrast is staggering. A $4.3 million family home for a Labor PM triggers a "weeks-on-end" media crisis about being "out of touch." Meanwhile, a Liberal leader with an estimated nine properties, thousands of hectares of land, and a history of multi-million dollar blue-chip flips enjoys a quiet transition to power.

If Albo’s house was "tone-deaf," what is a 3,000-hectare corporate land empire? The silence from the #MSM tells you everything you need to know about who they choose to "ram."

The casino floor buzzed with disbelief as the woman collected her winnings again calm, precise, almost bored. Dealers exchanged glances. Players whispered. Her streak was too perfect, her timing too exact. Security finally stepped in, replaying footage frame by frame, until the truth surfaced: hidden behind her composed gaze were highly advanced contact lenses, subtly reflecting cards and information invisible to everyone else. What looked like luck was actually technology pushing the limits of deception, turning an ordinary game into a quiet high-tech heist. When innovation makes cheating nearly invisible, where should the line be drawn between human skill, technology, and fair play?

@aaronsmith I think that even more "striking" was this turd continually backing and eulogising George Pell and his loathesome associates as wonderful examples of human decency. Albanese is forty times the person that this failed creep of the extreme right could ever aspire to be.
