Wow. The NYT did an analysis of the press room and exposes how Karoline Leavitt relies on planted stooges in the room to throw propaganda soft balls she uses to lie to the public.
This is how authoritarian states are run.
It takes real chutzpah for the Coalition to have occupied the government benches for 21 of the last 27 years and blame everyone else for failures in Indigenous policy.
If you needed a reminder of Dutton’s lack of grace, dignity, and empathy and arrogance catch his press conference to comment on referendum outcome. Couldn’t help himself in turning it into a political campaign speech just as he politicised the Voice proposal.
“This opposition leader makes things up regularly, sometimes several times a day, with growing confidence.”

No matter the outcome of this referendum - in which the 'No' camp have called me a "pig, whore,communist, racist, disfigured, brainless, washed-up, moron" - and none of those insults touched the sides, I will remember @PeterDutton_MP as the one who enabled them.

I’ve just met with President @ZelenskyyUa and confirmed we’ll provide 30 more Australian-made Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles to support Ukraine.
This new military assistance package takes the total number of Bushmasters committed to 120.
Dear @abcnews,
ICYMI: There was a change of govt in May last year. The guy on the left is our PM Anthony Albanese. The guy on the right is not. Could we perhaps hear more from our elected PM and his govt ministers please. And less from the angry potato man. 😠 #auspol#journalism
There’s a conversation going on about the Voice Referendum.
It’s about whether we should change the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by setting up an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice.
Roebourne prison soars to more than 50C at the majority Aboriginal jail which is not air conditioned. In Port Hedland, the council is building a $2M air-con facility for stray cats & dogs, saying summer in the Pilbara can be unpleasant for animals.
