I really wish journalists would frame lying in politics as a weakness, as a sign of a lost argument, as morally wrong, as unfair on voters, as manipulative and bad for democracy, rather than the way it is currently presented - as a cunning political strategy.

in 2004 Howard et al were told that CGT discount & neg gearing were driving demand and therefore prices. They did nothing. 20 years later governments still refuse to address the bleeding obvious. Nothing changes except the team in charge.

one of australia’s most shameful episodes:
Howard has learnt nothing. He still tries to justify immoral spying on a friendly neighbour, Timor, as ‘in the national interest’. That’s false. It was in Woodside’s interest and it poisoned relations with Dili for over a decade. Dumb and shameful! #auspol

If we want independents to win seats we’ll need to give them our 1 votes to ensure they remain in the ballot to the final two candidates. They can win on preferences, but not if they’re knocked out early in the counting.
