Don’t get your hopes up. Without access to classified information (for national security reasons as well as political — read Cabinet papers — reasons) the Community Commission will be dismissed as uninformed and proletarian drivel by main stream media (aka #Murdocracy, #StokesMedia, etc.) and decision-makers alike.

Still, stoking the fires of community angst against #secrecy and #politicalObfuscation is not a bad thing at all. #AUKUS ought to be part of the #PublicDebate and the powers that be ought to be held #Accountable for their decisions. Public horse trading for decent social services and the welfare of our environment is worth every battle we enjoin.

Another worthwhile #Petition that we should all sign. Some think that petition acheive very little, and that may be true in isolation. But a war is never about a single battle and every scirmish advances the chance of winning the war.

In any case, what does signing a petition really cost you? Start your #rebellion with small acts that together grow to make a difference.

Sure, #AlboPM is the best of three evils (#Labor, #LNP and #PHON) but there are alternatives if voters bother to think about it longer than a couple of minutes. And, I get your point about #SkyNews but would also point out it’s free to air everywhere. Here again, if voters were to think for more than a couple of minutes, the #Murdocracy wouldn’t have such a hold on their lazy brains.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but choosing a lesser evil rather than working to get better representatives into #Parliament is just apathetic #democracy and there is an enormous price to pay for such #complacency.

The #Murdocracy #propaganda machine. Why are we allowing this to go on?

#Murdocracy celebrating Perth's affluent suburbs is the cherry on a Marie Antoinette cake. Murdochians are bent!

Tried to post about this twice earlier and managed to post without the link and then attributing the wrong author.
So, I’ve given myself a good talking to and am going to try again.

Jonathan Holmes has written an excellent piece on Murdoch media’s targeting of Louise Milligan. It’s not just the hypocrisy of the attack, but the disinformation involved.

..”Milligan has now found herself under attack, not only in The Australian and on Sky News, but in the Commonwealth parliament, for things she did not say and does not believe.”
