HYPOCRISY EXPOSED: Albo’s Dark Arts Machine Caught Red Handed
Just weeks before crying crocodile tears on national TV and pleading to “lower the temperature in politics” Anthony Albanese's office was secretly shopping around a venomous, completely baseless 'dirt sheet’ to mainstream journalists to completely destroy Independent MP Helen Haines.
After Helen Haines rightfully exposed a sketchy $6M federal grant to a golf club in Albo's own backyard as "pork barrelling by design," the PM’s staff launched a vicious counter strike.
Top tier journalists were handed a scandalous brief baselessly accusing Haines of conflicts of interest over local community funding in her seat.
They wanted her politically liquidated.
Fast forward to the horrific vehicle attack outside Haines' office. Suddenly, Albo pivots. He takes to the ABC 7.30 cameras, choking up, calling her a "human being full of integrity."
Behind closed doors, the PM’s office operates a ruthless, mud slinging operation against the very crossbenchers they praise in public.
Is this the "kinder, gentler politics" we were promised?
Or is the Albanese government running one of the most hypocritical political hit squads in Australian history?
Well, that was wild. I'm at the Australian Parliament and just left a meeting with two staffers for the governing party. They told us that the government needed more power to censor things like the upcoming US execution of Nidal Hasan.
When I asked why they needed to censor that video, one said it was to prevent copycat killings. Copycat killings by governments? I asked. Er, no, they said. Copycat killings like of a backpacker, several decades ago.
So, under that logic, I pointed out, the government should censor things like last year's Bondi massacre, where two Muslims killed 15 people, no? Well, that was news, they said. Didn't they realize their bill would allow the government to censor news? They didn't seem to know, or care.
They also admitted that they did not know that the bill would allow the government to create and operate an unlimited number of fake social media accounts to attack its political enemies and spread disinformation. Having presented them with information they had never heard about a bill they had clearly not read, they emphasized to us, strenuously, that they were moving forward with the bill.
So there you have it. The government wants the power to arbitrarily censor scenes of violent crime, or violence, for any reason. And it wants the power to use an unlimited number of fake accounts to wage offensive disinformational warfare against the Australian people.
Given that the Bondi massacre last year increased public opposition to mass migration, and support for the populist One Nation Party, it seems obvious that the government wants to censor such events in order to protect its political power.
It's quite telling how obediently governing party members insist such a law is needed without even knowing what's in it.
