For any academics researching media ethics (or lack of) I suggest a brilliant proxy is how different outlets “report” on each of Josh Frydenberg’s “comebacks”…

It’s also probably worth remembering Josh Frydenberg’s illegal ads (which didn’t end up working) sent Guide Dogs Victoria spiralling into the biggest crisis in its history (ICYMI)…

The alcohol lobby - AHA etc - is using the tobacco playbook to thwart public policy, with the endless revolving door, "donations" and lobbying underpinning its "complex webs of influence". An interesting read by Professor Peter Miller... #DemocracyForSale theklaxon.com.au/how-the-glo…

Jim Chalmers is attempting to change the law to censor publicly available data. With his proposed secrecy changes, this expose into the anti-Voice bankrollers (and many, many more) would not be possible. (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/white-mans-…

WHITE MAN'S DARK MONEY: MEET THE BANKROLLERS - The Klaxon

The entire premise of the “No” campaign against the Voice was a sham – the "grassroots" movement was bankrolled by the super-rich.

With Jim Chalmers trying to quietly scrub the ASIC register of vital information (because Bondi attack? — absurd) it’s worth remembering ALP did the same thing re vital political “donations” data. This is how we lose democracy. Stay vigilant. (ICYMI): theklaxon.com.au/godfather-t…

“Godfather” tied to AEC mass censorship

The mass censorship of political “donations” followed action by the office of Don Farrell — while he was writing the proposed electoral reforms.

🚨EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION🚨Guide Dogs Victoria, whose “corporatised” board is actively covering up illegality by long-time CEO & Josh Frydenberg, is a corrupted & broken “charity”. Spends $10m/yr on “wages”, including $553k to CEO. Provides just 35 dogs.👇theklaxon.com.au/home/guide-…

This attempt by Jim Chalmers to further undermine transparency by scrubbing the ASIC database is a disgrace. It's is vital for media to do its job. ALP are creating a secret system perfect to be abused by a future populist/fascistic government.
