Why must we wait until some of our ablest journalists are sacked before they are willing and able to tell America the truth?
It is not “partisan” to explain what Trump and his anti-democracy movement are seeking. It is not “taking sides” to point out that the Trump Republicans are trying to establish an authoritarian government in America. It is not “violating journalistic standards” to tell the unvarnished truth about what we are facing today.
In fact, a failure to call out the Trump Republicans for what they are — liars, enablers, and accessories to crimes against the Constitution — itself violates the most basic canons of journalistic ethics.

In declining order of trust: The Age, SMH, Guardian online, News com.au, Sky News, Herald Sun and Daily Telegraph come below the 50% mark with Sky News boasting the highest don’t trust rating. Would someone please remind us who owns the four at the bottom of the trust scale?

Only
Michaela Cash could say anything as stupid as this And only Sky News
the least trusted media org in the country would give her the space to
say it
The shadow employment minister Michaelia Cash has accused Anthony Albanese of putting the interests of the union movement above the Australian people at the jobs and skills summit.
Cash told Sky News:
The big winners from the two-day talk-fest were the Australian union movement. The Labor party are paying their paymasters in full. It’s very disappointing what Australians can now see is sensible and modest changes proposed 18 months ago to [the better-off-overall test] which would’ve helped employers negotiate with employees … were completely, totally, utterly opposed by Labor but apparently now are OK.
In relation to industry-wide bargaining, this is why the outcome of the summit is a win for the union movement. This is what they’ve been asking for for years and years. Even the Rudd and Gillard government refused to deliver on this.
Cash said the legislation should:
create a criminal offence of bullying or harassing small business into pressuring them to do a deal; and
ensure strike action should not be able to be taken for an industry-wide deal
Both of these would be in breach of International Labour Organization conventions on freedom of association, which guarantee a right to strike.
Also, critics of the multi-employer bargaining proposal are consistently misrepresenting it as industry-wide bargaining.
The workplace relations minister Tony Burke has said any changes would not interfere with deals struck directly between employers and their workforce. So a single-employer deal will always be an option.
So Peter Dutton flew to America in the hope of becoming more like them. Measure success by the "economy" Health Education and Housing aren't a measure of success in his view. It's why the Job Summit is just a "stunt".
Earlier this week, the National Center for Health Statistics revealed in a study that the average life expectancy in the United States suffered a noticeable decline in 2021, from 77 to 76.1 years. It marks the second year in a row US life expectancy has fallen, according to the New York Times: in 2020, the average lifespan dipped from 78.8 to 77.

Inexplicably, Trump allowed a camera crew to follow him around throughout his 2020 campaign and well past January 6. Here’s what they saw.
