Is @Channel9 deliberately showing just moguls to make us pay for @StanSportAU in frustration? Over and over again!! The Olympics should NOT be behind a paywall!!! #MilanoCortinaOlympics2026

Olympics drone pilot - 🔥

Channel 9 Olympics coverage - a complete and utter dumpster fire. Pissing in the face of a sports mad country that might actually want to watch live events.

[Dominic Dirupo @DominicDirupo]

I know they want to push people to Stan, but Channel 9's Winter Olympics coverage is the worst in recent memory

[Kaitlyn @doublepiked]

Channel 9 nailed it with their Olympics coverage, fuck watching live sports, what we all want is two dickheads at a desk.

[Toby Forage 🤙 @foraggio]

I have to say @Channel9 has really conned us with its Olympic Winter Games coverage. Here I am watching another tiresome replay of an event long finished while the majority of the live coverage is locked behind a paywall. In short, it's a bloody disgrace.

Nothing changes until albanese and other western leaders start sanctioning israel. Everything else is just show

David hardaker is right, I reckon but that won't change the mindset of today's liberal party heirachy. They truly believe they will be resurrected a la maga and trump's america

Truth be told, trust @ABCNews and other media is fragile, and Australians are entitled to know what journalists are paid for outside gigs, for what, and how much? @d_hardaker #Auspol

David Hardaker does some terrific columns.
The Politics:
Worth getting the newsletter every day to read his columns. Nicole Chvastek is also brilliant. (ex abc radio, forced to resign.)

May 3 crashes around us as the body count rises
From the Liberals to the Nationals to the media, the 2025 election massacre keeps on claiming scalps. And watch out! Abbott’s about!

"On election night none of the confected outrage, the miles of newsprint, the spin and the bullying had made a jot of difference and was more likely to have worked against the Liberals’ interests. Australians it seems have a finely tuned bullshit radar."

We look at the blind insanity of News Corp as it takes the Peter Dutton by the hand and leads him to electoral annhilation - then lectures the Liberal Party for “missing the warning signs" in its national broadsheet.

The latest “Truth Lies & Media” drops at midnight! 💥

[Sometimes Fed up - @somuchbullsh]

When the Liberals assess the causes of their disaster a good place to start would be August 24, 2018, the day Abbott finally tore down Malcolm Turnbull as prime minister. It was an act of pure vengeful bloodletting, led by Dutton, Abbott’s ideological twin.

'The opposition leader has sunk to nauseating levels in his self-righteous drive for power and the prime ministership. He must be stopped.' A brutal evisceration from @d_hardaker. https://t.co/3wsVTG8QE0 @d_hardaker

[John Rowsthorne @JohnRowsthorne]

An excellent summary by David Hardaker of where Australia is at with the choices in this federal election. He certainly has my support with his wish to see the LNP wiped out. https://t.co/rZipyutAXJ
