‘Winds of change howling through corridors of power’: PM challenged to act
Labor
has challenged Prime Minister Scott Morrison to act more swiftly on
public anger about the treatment of women after thousands rallied across
the country.
“Not far from here, such marches, even now, are being met with bullets, but not here in this country. Not here in this country. This is a triumph of democracy when we see these things take place,” he said.
Mr Albanese said Mr Morrison had “not so much a tin ear as a wall of concrete” in failing to act on calls for change, noting the government was yet to respond to all the findings of the Respect@Work report on workplace sexual harassment, which was handed down one year ago.
If actions speak louder than words Morrison's have been less than a whisper. The Dummer Dumb coalition are running this country and in case of March 4 Justice are merely stating the obvious as a distraction. "We aren't yet Myanmar". However in that there is an implied threat coupled with a self congratulatory slap on the back that if it weren't for Scotty bullets bullets might reign. Yes, a rather undeserved self-congratulatory remark. Protests in a Democracy serve a functional, means in a working Democratic system of telling the government of the day they are dysfunctional and doing a shit of a job. That's something Morrison can no longer really deny.
Is Morrison really trying to be Trump? When Trump said he was the law and order President it was an implied threat. Remember he also said 350,000 Covid-19 deaths were a good outcome given 2 million would have died if it weren't for him. Morrison has said and done much the same praising the demonstration with his irrational response "We aren't Myanmar yet". What we have is almost an implied threat "we aren't yet seeing bullets fired". Claiming the protest had nothing yet something to do with him is yes, Dummer. But claiming to be too busy doing real work was misogyny amplified.
So what we have is a PM and a leadership's total failure to communicate. M&Ms lead us and Morrison has identified himself as being Dummer than Dumb of the two.
ABC boss David Anderson defends broadcaster’s independence
ABC managing director David Anderson has launched a strong defence of the independence of the public broadcaster from government intervention, amid a deepening rift with the federal government over its political coverage.
“Essential to the perception of the ABC’s independence and impartiality is the reality that we are independent and detached from government direction,” Mr Anderson said in the speech.
It's become patently obvious that this government wants to rid us of the ABC and is attempting to use Christian Porter in a quid quo pro arrangement to silence the ABC before the next election while allowing Murdoch media to run Porter's media defense and the LNP political election campaign at the same time. Yet again what we will see politics dominating policy news and information for power in exchange for filthy lucre.
Germany, Italy, France to halt AstraZeneca shots
It came as the World Health Organisation appealed to countries not to suspend vaccinations against a disease that has caused more than 2.7 million deaths worldwide.
Germany, France and Italy said they would stop administering the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine after several countries reported possible serious side-effects, throwing Europe’s already struggling vaccination campaign into disarray.
Spain’s health minister also announced a 2-week ban on using AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine.
Our PM said "I don't care what other nations do. I trust our TGA". What Morrison failed to say the TGA too listens to the advice of others. Morrison is simply "passing the buck" on this too. If he's wrong he's gone.

The public are ‘willing’ their governments and leaders to succeed
Former Victorian Liberal Party President Michael Kroger says every opposition leader "has struggled" over the past 12 months because the public "are willing" the premiers and the prime minister to succeed. "There's no point any voter hoping their state government fails," Mr Kroger told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. "They're all willing the state governments to succeed". "They're willing them to succeed and that's why they're doing well in the polls".
In a strident attempt to prove his misogyny it would appear Bolt preferred to ignore the March 4 Justice that was broadcast worldwide today. He found time to try to excuse the Liberal's trashing in WA and their falling behind all down to Covid.Yet the March 4 Justice wasn't anything to do with the pandemic. It was all to do with the Liberal's failure to do anything.
It proved the public were "demanding the dysfunctional LNP to be willing" to succeed. It's 52% to 48% drop in the polls and thousands upon thousands of women of both political persuasions turning up in protest were there to let the Morrison coalition know they are do-nothing fuckwits.
British people ‘don’t appreciate’ Harry and Meghan’s ‘badmouthing’
Spiked Online Editor Brendan O’Neill says British people “don’t appreciate” Prince Harry and Meghan Markle going around and “badmouthing” their country and the Royal Family. “A recent poll actually found that Harry and Meghan’s approval rating has plummeted to its lowest level ever since the interview with Oprah Winfrey,” Mr O’Neill told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “British people just don’t appreciate someone going around badmouthing this country, badmouthing the press, badmouthing the Royal Family”. “They far prefer someone like Kate – the Duchess of Cambridge – who strikes us as a bit more stiff upper lip, more interested in public duty rather than self-promotion.”
Seriously does Bolt have O'Neill on every week? If so why not just give the conservative editor his seat? After all he says more than Bolt does. Bolt's merely an abstract. A verbal lead in for his guests.
Harry and Meghan weren't ever in this for "ratings". Bolt and O'Neill are. Meghan and Harry were in it for "truth". Harry if anything was in it for his long service and superannuation package which he's certainly due for his length of service. It goes to show corporate wage theft is being defended by Bolt and O'Neill. However not if it happened to them they'd both be turning to the media for assistance. Harry and Meghans ratings by the way are solid in the US and most Commonwealth countries.
