One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.

Australians need gun laws that live up to the bravery of the 1st laws, but now, these laws are no longer fit for purpose.

I was talking with my Dad this morning after #insiders. Dad had ‘things’ to say about Marles. (Unsurprising to me, but still.. 😳)
Dad, BTW, is the longest-serving Australian military Chief we’ve had since WW II and also the oldest (@ 90yrs) still alive.
He’s seen more than a few Ministers 🤔

The problem with the ABC in particular is their news is now produced via google trends
The editors don't make a decision about what's newsworthy - they have to follow google
The players know this and swamp the socials and Newscorp, etc, with agit-prop which trends
And then the ABC has to cover it

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded.

Hassan Yousef is a prisoner of Israel & has been held captive by them since Oct 2023.
How did Matthew Knott manage to communicate with a prisoner inside an Israeli prison? 🤔
Who initated the idea?
Who organised it?
And how was this alleged statement obtained from the prisoner?

I want you to understand something incredible about the boycott of Bendigo Writers Festival. There was no planning, organizing or coordination between writers. It was almost entirely spontaneous but for a bit of word of mouth.
50 or writers all responded in the same way in less than 48 hours.

Why did Bendigo Writers Festival feel the need to introduce a "Code of Conduct" this year of all years?
If it's not in relation to Israel's assault on Gaza, then what else has happened recently that suddenly prompted them to do this?

Claim a quote from a Hamas co-founder who’s in prison unable to comment.
Quietly rewrite when busted.
Pull Knott from the Insiders sofa and send Massola instead to waffle about "offices".
Keep running the smear anyway.
That’s SMH. That’s #Insiders. That’s garbage.
