Yeah, nah. Sorry Madame Governor General but I don't need to be religious to do kind things or be a good person. And I certainly don't require a government commitment to do so. As usual, religion gets special privilege. We are a secular nation. #Auspol

Several News Corp outlets are reporting claims that "Australians are less likely to support a business that boycotts Australia Day". The so-called poll is not a poll, it is an opt-in of News Corp readers, a classic #pollshapedobject

Here's what we know:
The Trump regime is consolidating fascism,
masked ICE thugs trying to provoke violence have killed another civilian and destroyed evidence of their crimes, and
senior officials are lying, again.
And ABC news is shamefully both sides-ing, again.

Australia clings to two-state fantasy as Gaza lies in ruins—80% flattened, half under Israeli boot. One state obliterated kills the deal, yet no Israel ban, just pinprick sanctions . Dry facts, bitter pill.

Is there anything more modern-day-Labor than Richard Marles defending Australia troops against slander without mentioning the slander was committed by Donald Trump?
Surface level concern underpinned by utter cowardice and complicity.

Has the BBC ever done a ’stress test’ of its both sides model?
An example stress test would be reporting on events in Germany in 1933 (or similar) as if they were contemporary domestic events.
I’m guessing they haven’t, because the BBC would fail such a test.

How on earth can the BBC still be relaying this demonstrably untrue information into its reporting at 942pm, without even "balancing" the false account, when they have the video footage & the analysis of it

Carney’s visit designed to give Albanese the political cover he needs to examine the US alliance. He couldn’t do it on his own (cowardice and political calculus) but with Carney inviting us into the cool kids tent he can glacially move us in the right direction.
"My friend Mark Carney will visit Australia with an address to the Parliament in March," Albanese said in remarks on Australian Broadcasting Corporation television on January 25.
