The Coalition really needs to come up with some actual policies that address 🇦🇺's top concern - cost-of-living - rather than spending all their time punching down on the public service, stoking some kind of culture war distraction.

Politico helped Trump launder lies during the campaign and he’s been on a week-long rampage against them anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This Politico story from last October shows how easy it is to launder lies through the press. It claimed Trump would ban anyone tied to Project 2025 from a job in a second Trump administration.
“Clearly people working on Project 2025 are blacklisted,” said an unidentified Trump insider. 1/4🧵

The names include conservatives linked to Project 2025 and Republicans viewed as disloyal to the former president.

The challenges that face America are many and great.

The level of denial about is happening in the US is depressing, if predictable.
The most powerful nation of earth is enacting contemporary fascism, empowering it throughout the world.
The post-war settlement of liberal democracy is over.

It’s fortunately buried deep in the Tele’s back pages, but I have never read a more unoriginal, dishonest and nonsensical opinion piece than this claptrap by the IPA’s Saxon Davidson. The first opening lie to correct is Broken Hill was a transmission failure, not generation. Unfettered rubbish.
