Anyone trying to tell the truth is maligned, what there is might be found in a small paragraph on page 6 or simply ignored.

This isn’t splashed across the front pages of our MSM why? It certainly however indicates their right-wing, top-down propaganda bias. Morrison’s promised ICAC has been discarded. Australia’s international corruption index has blown out and Super and wage theft have been let run free and workers and their families have lost billions.

Nine years ago we were voted best economy on the planet and our Treasurer was voted the world’s best and we had just faced the GFC and won. 9 years of LNP government later and Frydenberg is telling us we are still the worlds best economy when the world says we aren’t.

Our privately owned MSM is proving to be the Australian equivalent of Russian State Media a propaganda machine. It might well be criticizing Scott Morrison but it sure as hell isn’t criticizing the L-NP for dragging this country down economically and reputationally on every social metric. What criticism there is, is minimal and isn’t calling for a necessary change of government. Quite the opposite in fact. The truth is staring us in the face are we better off under a Morrison/LNP than we were under a Gillard lead ALP? Economy. Health, Education, Wealth, Housing, Corruption, Broken Promises, Discrimination, Racism, WelFare, and Climate let’s be the judge and not the fake news!

One guy prosecuted for allegedly running a company while bankrupt, ten Crown directors off scot free for washing $70bn through casinos for Chinese Triads, drug and sex traffickers and other assorted criminals. One rule for rich and powerful, another for the rest. Michael West reports on the world of deluxe double standards.

On March 3, as Russian military forces bombed Ukrainian cities as part of Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion of his neighbor, the Kremlin sent out talking points to state-friendly media outlets with a request: Use more Tucker Carlson. “It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally,” advises the 12-page document written in Russian. It sums up Carlson’s position: “Russia is only protecting its interests and security.” The memo includes a quote from Carlson: “And how would the US behave if such a situation developed in neighboring Mexico or Canada?”

When Scotty left his job with Tourism New Zealand, then sports minister Trevor Mallard laid the blame for problems at the Office of Tourism and Sport squarely with Morrison. Australian standards of public sector behaviour “are lower than ours,” Mallard told the NZ Herald. “My experience with Australian politicians is that rules and ethics are not as important to them as they are to New Zealanders.” Sorry, but this lot make me feel far from secure.

Pro-Putin pollsters maintain that most Russians support the “special military operation” against Ukraine. But artificial efforts to stir public enthusiasm can’t hide the disastrous effects the war is having on ordinary Russians.
