AIUI "they" (Ita's legacy mob) are trying to destroy the credibility of our non-commercially run, taxpayer-funded broadcaster.
They want Australians to be relying on propaganda outlets like Murdoch's and Kerry Stokes' instead.
And for capitalist media not to have to compete with any quality broadcaster.
David Speer's prominence fits perfectly with those fascist goal.

So 24 hours after #starmer has criticised and received and apology from #trump #albanese PR team having, over a couple of drinks, debated #albo response and come up with this. Still nothing from #murdoch #newsltd and #theaustralian. So quick to attack Australians of colour if they even think of suggesting anything that criticises our military but a foreigner like #trump can say what he likes.
We need to talk about #TheAustralian.
The first five pages are just rabid, ideological drivel. Constant demonization of anyone who protests Israeli atrocities in #Gaza. And #Labor bashing, of course.
Because never waste a crisis.
How is it that U16s can't be on social media, but your racist uncle and granddad can read this dangerous misinformation and watch SkyNews?
Does anyone actually pay for it? (I put gloves on and read this while in a library).
Top of front page of #RupertMurdoch's
#TheAustralian today is an article based on DVA response to Albo's new stuff on vet affairs.
So far only paywalled link.

Snide bit about "tailwinds" too.
#DanJervisBardy aiming for #Savy?
And is promoting the #CorporateMedia poisoning-of-democracy #HorseRace bullshit.
This, an article titled "Breakthrough drugs for dementia" (which turned out to be speculations about what's on the horizon), and other trashiness, has left me with as much trust for #TheGuardian as for #RupertMurdoch's #TheAustralian.
At least Rupert's is up front on being a fascist-adjacent, #ClimateInaction, propaganda machine.

But the agents of divisiveness set out to magnify and inflame these fears. They've suceeded to the extent that the bigots and haters now get to stand up, speak their garbage and convert others. And fear and uncertainty and choosing to avoid interaction with trans folk has increased.
#RupertMurdoch's #TheAustralian online edition has?/had a section for years devoted to fanning these flames.
@spinopsys JFC, what absolute crap. No mention of the fact that the USA has spent 200 years destroying every popularly elected government in South and Central America nor that the UK plundered colonies of their wealth and murdered millions doing so.

This is what a dying medium looks like. Australia's far-right Murdoch megaphone masquerades as an old-fashioned daily newspaper. Apparently, you couldn't pay people to read it, it operates at a loss, yet the rest of Australia's cowed legacy media treat the Oz as some sort of objective fact-checking machine.
It's almost quaint. Who'd buy a piece of paper full of lies, that is about as balanced as RT News?
