They're not Equivalent only one is Woke and the least likely to be either a Trumpster or a Racist
Has Lachlan Murdoch won anything in Australia? Onetel, Ch10, Crikey all losses. Has he won anything anywhere? A natural born loser protected by dad whereas his brother and sister are able to stand alone and cut loose.
Will Hayward, the CEO of Crikey’s parent company, Private Media, says sticking to its guns has proved profitable for the plucky independent media outlet.
How a small Australian news site took on Lachlan Murdoch - and won
Carl Sagan said that in order to understand the present, it’s necessary to know the past. Nowhere does this apply with greater force than to the Australian media and its place in the nation’s power structure.

Conspiracy Up Close and Political was seen and applied by Abbott and Hockey when their Opposition Budgets were “verified” by “private audit” well before the 2013 election and it continued thereon after. It was a puzzling LNP ritual in our Democracy to cut Treasury and the Public Service out from scrutinizing their numbers. Yet they got away with it.
Secrecy and the need to ensure natural justice for Peter Collins & other PWC Australia staff who received or used confidential information, prevents disclosure of the specific offences being investigated by the Australian Federal Police (AFP). But there will be no shortage of possible offences to investigate. They range from a breach of tax secrecy laws, making false or misleading statements, obtaining a financial advantage by deception, general dishonesty, to conspiracy to defraud the Commonwealth, and money laundering.

Dutton has brought the shame of American hate politics to Australia as the LNP have had no politics or policies of their own to offer multicultural Australia. Their only approach to the economy has been “We are better money managers”! No, they proved that was false from the very day they became the government in 2013. They have been better, Yes, at breaking promises and better cultural disrupters. they have been prominent in attacking Immigrants, Muslims, Africans, and Chinese but even more, Asylum Seekers. They have campaigned against LBTGI’s, Education even the real history of this nation, and embarrassed us in the face of the rest of the world purposely trying to divide us with the same tactics applied in America by the extreme right of the Republican party.
As a consequence, they were thrown out of office with only Dutton who once offered to resign after being caught for his public “Boom Gate” and racist and racist humor. Dutton head of what was once labeled the LNP’s extreme right’s Monkey Pod Room, was the only one wanting to be Opposition leader.
When in April Peter Dutton first announced his party’s opposition to a Yes vote, he spoke repeatedly of a “Canberra Voice”, an echo of the anti-Washington rhetoric that has become standard fare on the American right – populist politics 101. When last month in parliament he outlined his opposition in more detail, he again maligned the “Canberra Voice”, the “Canberra-based Voice” and the “Canberra knows best” approach of Anthony Albanese. His speech was replete with other US-style allusions.
First he seemed to be trying to elevate “our forefathers” who drafted the Constitution into an Australian equivalent of America’s founding fathers: patriots acclaimed with blind reverence, and sometimes even vested with powers of clairvoyance. “They were methodical, they were meticulous and they used their minds,” he said of these Australian penmen, “and, to their eternal credit and foresight, they produced a document which has created the greatest country in the world.”
As well as evoking an Australian version of American exceptionalism, he seemed intent on consecrating the 1901 Constitution with the same biblical status as its US counterpart: “Our Constitution has given us laws, liberties, protections and privileges which have forged the modern nation which we love and cherish today.”
The opposition leader seems intent on consecrating Australia’s 1901 Constitution with the same biblical status as its US counterpart.

Men's Shed for Abbott and Howard
The Alliance for Responsible Citizenship will host its first conference in London this October. Liberal senator Alex Antic has already had his return airfare paid for, plus accommodation. Together this small, strange group will practice its catechism of self-pity. They will not find a new conservativism because they are not truly conservatives. All they will find is that loneliness and dejection can be eased by meeting with others who are similarly afflicted. This, at its heart, is Peterson’s business model. A man who made his living selling masculinity to adult men with Star Wars doona sets is doing the same for right-wing politicians whose absence of compassion has isolated them in a new and increasingly feeling world.”
