Front page Epstein files story today reveals Steve Bannon told Clive Palmer to spend $60mil on anti-China and anti-climate change ads for the 2019 election.
D’ya think this could be why we want our media to ask “who’s behind this & who does it serve?” rather than just reporting “pollie said this”?!

Excellent statement from Zali Steggall.
The PM needs to realize that caving in to the Israel lobby is the last thing that will deliver 'social cohesion' for Australia.
If he is looking for national unity, and greater safety for Jews, inviting a genocide enthusiast will not deliver. #auspol
