#Murdochracy is claiming admitted due to either an exotic disease or a stroke depending on which rag you read, & that it happened several days ago. #DanAndrews #VicPol #auspol

#Australia needs to up its #defence #spending, says shadow minister for #SuckingUpToTrump #AngusTaylor.

Taylor says spending must reach 3% of GDP to be able to pay for #AUKUS, & points out that the PM hasn’t met with #Trump at a time when the #US is still reviewing the defence pact.

The government has committed to increasing spending to 2.4% of GDP by 2033-34, but Taylor told #Murdochracy it should go further. #auspol

I'm hoping the tories don't even come second, I want them to be seen as an irrelevant fat right loony party, which is exactly what they are.

Looks like they will get away with the #PPE VIP covid scams though.

Ideally their rabid rightwing gutter press will go down with them #Murdochracy

@RealJournalism

Billionaires own 95% of the UK press, not because they believe in accountability or free speech, but because they want to control the government, so they can get nice tax breaks.

Most of their shitty tabloids lose money, but they still get their tax breaks.
