 A Christian version of ISIS exists and has come out in the open and welcomed into the LNP

A recent IPSOS poll showed 78 per cent of Australians want religion to be separated from the business of government. Clearly, within that vast public majority are millions of religious moderates who support progressive social policy – like same-sex marriage, VAD, and the right of women to have full bodily autonomy.

Do “moderates” not believe that militant evangelism is actually subverting Christianity? Is there no concern that such extremism serves only to undermine the inclusiveness and tolerance that they see in the teachings of Jesus? And what are they prepared to do about that?

One aspect of May’s federal election has been strangely overlooked: Labor’s win follows a pattern among the main centre-left parties in Europe and comparable countries. Traditional social democratic and labour-based parties are resurgent, and now hold office (on their own or in coalition) across all of Scandinavia and in Germany, Spain, Portugal and New Zealand.

Where the past decade has been dominated by talk of a crisis of the left, the debate is increasingly shifting to the crisis of the right.

Whatsmore it all began with Murdoch media and revenge for having been kicked out of China. While Abbott was celebrating his leapfrog over the ALP’s relationship with China and the FTA. Murdoch press was on the attack and the crescendo came with Trump.

China’s Foreign Minister told Penny Wong that inflammatory statements by the Coalition government soured diplomatic relations that led to Australia being cut off from official communications, according to a statement issued from Beijing on Sunday.

First Trump, then Morrison, now Johnson. Could the Murdoch family's influence be waning?

For the Murdoch family to lose one prime minister is a misfortune. To lose a second is just plain careless. 

Scott Morrison and Boris Johnson weren’t just any prime ministers, either. These were valuable assets invested with long-nurtured relationships. 

It’s stuck the family with two big challenges: how to fill the political hole where Johnson was standing just a week ago, and how to fracture the surprisingly durable Albanese honeymoon.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this: back in the early COVID days, the Murdochs’ political allies were three-for-three across the Anglosphere countries where the family’s companies operate, seemingly entrenched for years to come. 

Meanwhile, here in Australia, the News Corp media have taken their first stab at undermining the new government, with an astroturfed “Airbus Albo” meme. On social media, it flopped, reopening instead Morrison’s Hawaii holiday and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s current holiday in the United States.

But don’t expect News Corp to stop trying.
