David Speersโ interview style is appalling; he doesnโt want information, he wants a wedge, a gotcha.
Shallow and fatuous, he just reveals his incompetence as host.
Fortunately the Treasurer @JEChalmers is too calm clever for tabloid hacks.๐บ๐ป๐๐ผ

Reminder for #auspol. Former Labor PM Bob Hawke first mooted the Western Sydney Airport, and to acquire the land, the Libs used taxpayer's funds to pay 10x the market value of the land to its original owner, a big Liberal Party donor. Nobody does corruption like the Libs.

Thank you Mark Kenny.
The only one with the guts to say it! It's not new news, they know it. Politicians feed media,media feed politicians.Public is given spin and framing designed to inflame. Public is blamed for a reaction to something that started with politicans and media.

The message from Mark Kenny needs to be repeated again and again and again.
The mainstream media, most of which is owned in Australia by one man, thrives on spreading hate, division and turmoil. Powerful women are a particular target.

I was wondering if #Inisders this morning would get beyond blaming just pollies and "social" media for all that's wrong with public discourse in Oz. Finally, Mark Kenny pointed to the strong podium position of the fight-gaming/cheer-squadding MSM as well ๐ฉท

David Speers on his 'social media is a large part of the problem' narrative and he is put in his place by Mark Kenny who responded that one can't ignore the role of MSM which thrives on outrage and division. And sadly 'our ABC' has become a haven for this click bait.

#insiders Greg Brownโs final sum up. He chooses to raise the Covid Lockdown review which says that lockdowns were too severe.
Reallyโฆ.. a retrospective view says state govtsโ (SUCCESSFUL) efforts to save many lives in a never experienced before pandemic wasnโt perfect.

#insiders Thank goodness for old school journo Mark Kenny, he didnโt go as far as I would have loved him to go but he spoke about the bleeding obvious.
YES Media plays a big part in turning the temperature up, portraying policy debate as ONLY an aggressive bloodthirsty sport

Yes Pauline said those things. But how did the public hear and be influenced by it?
THE MSM!

Victoria is the Education State - even our primary school students know it.
121 new schools. Best paid teachers. Best NAPLAN results. And now, weโll fully fund schools.

It's unbelievable how toxic One Nation fans on Sky News are. I just tweeted support for our PM and got totally dogpiled with threats. Apparently, it's fine for them to dish it out 24/7, but the second I share my own opinion, I get dragged through their vitriole. #auspol

Australian govt need to serious consider cancelling any star link contracts.
Threat to our independence and sovereignty.
Musk cannot be trusted.
