F**king #ABC730 is in full campaign mode. According to #JacobGreber the "focus" is shifting from the Coalition's "troubles" and is now firmly on the Govt, & "Albanese" (wince like just saying the name is offensive), is "haunted" by promises made during the election.

This is #ScottMorrison Companion of the Order of Australia - our laziest, most incompetent & most corrupt Prime Minister. Despite this the mainstream media, including the taxpayer funded #ABC campaigned for his reelection.

Fortunately they were unsuccessful.

Have a nice day.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
