HYPOCRISY EXPOSED: Albo’s Dark Arts Machine Caught Red Handed Just weeks before crying crocodile tears on national TV and pleading to “lower the temperature in politics” Anthony Albanese's office was secretly shopping around a venomous, completely baseless 'dirt sheet’ to mainstream journalists to completely destroy Independent MP Helen Haines. After Helen Haines rightfully exposed a sketchy $6M federal grant to a golf club in Albo's own backyard as "pork barrelling by design," the PM’s staff launched a vicious counter strike. Top tier journalists were handed a scandalous brief baselessly accusing Haines of conflicts of interest over local community funding in her seat. They wanted her politically liquidated. Fast forward to the horrific vehicle attack outside Haines' office. Suddenly, Albo pivots. He takes to the ABC 7.30 cameras, choking up, calling her a "human being full of integrity." Behind closed doors, the PM’s office operates a ruthless, mud slinging operation against the very crossbenchers they praise in public. Is this the "kinder, gentler politics" we were promised? Or is the Albanese government running one of the most hypocritical political hit squads in Australian history?
