Fighting Fake News with REAL 10/3/22; The Shovel; Truth in Humor,Lismore,Abbott,

 

 

 

Scott Morrison has announced a $35 million flood-assistance fund that will be made immediately available to households in the eastern Melbourne suburbs of Hawthorn, Canterbury and Camberwell. The funds will be used to build protection against a potential disaster in Josh Frydenberg’s marginal seat of Kooyong.

Kym Strow and her wife Sarah Jones in their Lismore home. Strow says people need a leader who gives support and hope. ‘People sure as fuck shouldn’t have to ask for it.’

Morrison’s stop in Lismore turned out to be yet another very, very controlled photoshoot. Promises along with his “it’s not my fault and stop blaming the ADF” didn’t fool anyone. Lismore and other flooded areas were told by Peter Dutton to “go fund yourselves” and they did. Helicopters flew in where Dutton said it was too difficult for the ADF. Supplies were trucked in when the mud army knew government aid wasn’t coming. Charity, was forthcoming where emergency government funding wasn’t to be seen and as usual, the Morrison government was MIA. All they were doing was damage control in front of cameras.

All this was a result of the L-NP’s years of stripping the Public Service of any ability of coordinated action and handing it over to private contractors for their generous support of the government’s L-NP fighting fund.

The prime minister was met with anger and protest on his visit to the flood-ravaged NSW town, and didn’t stop to shake hands

  These Putin apologists one and all prove to actually be his anti-woke fans down under. Abbott Credlin and Bolt might have all raised Putin up on their shoulders and cheered Huzzar. Let's not get confused however, Putin is Putin he isn't Russia or the Russian people. He, like his supporters, is an ultra right-wing Nationalist, and in no measure a patriot

Rachael Withers in The Monthly

“Writing in The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday (Murdoch’s American Masthead) (and dutifully republished by The Australian), former PM Tony Abbott joined the raft of commentators trying to link Russia’s invasion to a “weakened” West’s obsession with social and environmental issues.”

Withers continued:

“He went on to criticise all three members of AUKUS for their focus on reducing emissions, implying that it was this that had emasculated the West (along with globalisation, “cultural Marxists”, COVID restrictions and the fact that you couldn’t even make Monty Python’s Life of Brian these days).”

(His camp follower)

Herald Sun columnist Andrew Bolt never to be left out of a bit of truth bashing, was not far behind ( simply paraphrasing) what he’d said

“… the war in Ukraine has exposed the lethal danger of falling for green myths … Russian president Vladimir Putin would never have dared invade Ukraine if the green movement hadn’t first made Europe look helpless,” he added.

All Abbott ever does when he enters the realm of serious discussion is highlight the fact that he was grossly unsuitable for the office of Prime Minister of Australia. However, the most pressing matters regarding climate action came out of all this unworldly nonsense.

 May be an image of 6 people and text that says 'As Australia's fires and floods grow in frequency and intensity will the nation re-elect a coalition of corrupt coal merchants who not only deny climate change but deny rescue and support to anyone in Labor seats' 

 I doubt if the Nation will. But I'm certain the IPA, News Corp, Sky News, Ch9, and Ch7 are determined to try and maintain their quid pro quo relationship even if the Libs have to form a new but silent L-NP-UAP Coalition. A coalition with a fighting fund unheard of in Australian politics. 

This government started out with a dog for a leader that chased parked cars barking Nope Nope Nope, Tony Abbott. After 9 years they have wound up with a rabid beast, a Sloth pretending to be a Labrador but only pup when it was time to do the job. Morrison is a twice failed marketing manager of a government he built. The Liberal Party should now be appropriately named The Edsel. Both will go down as history's greatest failures.

 

Here's a fact you won't hear on Fox News today. Exxon, Chevron, and Conoco made $46 billion in profit in 2021. Now they're using 40% of those profits for stock buybacks. Big Oil is raking it in, raising prices, and taking advantage of the war in Ukraine to push for more drilling.

Murdoch is heavily in vested in Genie Oil in the illegally occupied territory of Syria's Golan Heights and Abbott has a quid pro quo relationship with Murdoch media writing in the WSJ reprinted in The Australian and given the full Hurrah by Sky News after dark.  Ignoring what News and Information are all about.
