Oh they are very aware of the lies & hypocrisy they are spouting. They just know our supine media won’t hold them properly to account & call out the BS & their audience & flag shagging supporters are too thick or willfully ignorant to bother to join the dots.

Yes - and why?
He’s not in government.
He’s not even the official opposition.
Every bloody week they feature whatever crap his party spouts, live, as if they are the above, in a time of crisis.
Other parties don’t get the same coverage if they carry a live speech or press conference.
It’s warped.
