BREAKING: Former Pm #SquatMorrison Tells Movers That he Doesn't Drive A Moving Van. ....13 Days
Australia ranks equal 36th in the world out of the 78 country listed Liberal Democracies. A slide witnessed in a decade of LNP government. We slid from 8th to 18th on the corruption index as well. That's LNP Pride and Australia's shame
The Australian LNP modeled itself on making Australia more American and they still do. Read American politics and you will see the LNP adopting American Republican policies in a kneejerk reaction because they actually have no homegrown ones of their own and currently have an interim Leader that may not even make it to the next election. Who is sitting in waiting one wonders.
By Toby James, University of East Anglia; and Holly Ann Garnett, Royal Military College of Canada | – Defending democracy has suddenly become one of the central challenges of our age. The land war in Ukraine is widely considered a front line between autocratic rule and democratic freedom. The United States continues to absorb the meaning of the riot that took place on January 6 2021 in an attempt to overthrow the result of the previous year’s election. Elsewhere, concerns have been raised that the pandemic could have provided cover for governments to postpone elections. Elections are an essential part

There is NO "I" in "Team"
Good morning, early birds. The Albanese government is considering reserving gas for the east coast in a bid to stabilise energy prices, and NDIS Minister Bill Shorten says he will crack down people misusing the NDIS. It’s the news you need to know, with Emma Elsworthy.

Peter Dutton says he has always seen ‘parliament as a disadvantage for sitting governments’, following the final Newspoll for 2018 which had the coalition trailing Labor 55-45 on a two-party preferred basis.
Dutton will be talking to the converted minority when he continues to feed Murdoch's Sky News platform with content as he will with their Goebellian anchors like Bolt Credlin Kenny and Murray. Will he even make it to the next election with such a small audience? It's anybody's guess.
I believe he's there to give the Party sufficient time to groom yet another suitable leader for a second term challenge at government. Dutton is the rewarded "fill in" who will just have to settle for being the punching bag and the truth about how he will eventually go down in the history of Australian politics for the count. The terms "worst" and the Monkey Pod Room will always linger.

So, what comes out of all this rejection of Murdoch and his acolytes? There are still some good sports pages to read and pics galore, but I wouldn’t trust the politics.
In debating their tactics with colleagues and friends, I have noticed that the Sky (and Fox) viewership seems to be marked by a collective personality disorder whereby the viewer feels almost as though they’ve been let into a secret society. Arguably, this has been the election in which the bias of its tilted reporting has been exposed?
When the polls have been analysed to the nth degree, and all the data is done and dusted, one of the biggest stories of this election will be how Murdoch’s News Corp failed to have the desired influence on the result. From newspapers to television; it has become impotent. Maybe forever. I want to think so.
