The only thing correct here is that the Greens did not win anything by working with Labor this week. A much better outcome would have been holding them to the fire and delaying the vote. The only people who benefited from taking the environment off the legislative table before Xmas were the ALP.
Political journalists are so intensely bad at dealing with environment and climate issues, it is absolutely remarkable

The Greens need to stop listening to idiot hacks who just want them neutered. "Vengeful voters" punished them for refusing to support ALP legislation? What? They passed the whole lot for the ALP before last Xmas. The Greens need to stop listening to, and trying to please, these buffoons.

The government will be lazier without them because it benchmarks itself against the Coalition. The old slur about the ALP as Alternative Liberal Party may or may not have been true in the past but it is now

Btw there should be more reporting on the basis of the Greens as the opposition vs "bipartisan" ALP/LNP on these issues, as the latter two are basically the same. The Greens are the only party really fighting on

Thanks Albo and the ALP for pushing prices up higher and flooding the market with more investors. Here they are boasting about being "back in force", as prices skyrocket. Max Chandler-Mather and the Greens were entirely correct. You can't improve affordability without ending their tax breaks.

The ABC has vehemently denied allegations of unethical practice over a 2021 Four Corners program. Here’s what Trump said, and what it said

There are clearly some real TERFs at ABC media watch, determined for ABC coverage to become more anti-trans. And whilst the dodgy Re Devin case earlier this year (which lazily accepted the thoroughly flawed Cass Report) could have done with coverage, they probably would have done as badly as the Oz.

Defamation law is a plague. Payouts are ludicrous. Reform, tightly limiting it, is urgent.
GB News presenter, Beverley Turner, sets up a question for Karoline Leavitt, inviting her to denounce the BBC as leftist, fake news organisation. GB News is owned by Paul Marshall who has called for the BBC to be broken up and sold.
Btw, who is Sharmer? 🤔

Q: Is the president prepared to bankrupt the BBC?
LEAVITT: This is a leftist propaganda machine that unfortunately is subsidized by British taxpayers, and he thinks that's extremely unfortunate for the great people of the UK

This is insane. We're being told to accept *anti fascism* as a "terrorist" movement. How can Australia remain tied to that country.
today's unprecedented foreign terror designation of Antifa has resulted in exactly zero (0) cable news segments 👍

The current GG this week: "The holder of this office is there to protect the Australian public against the potential of irresponsible government."
Who elected the GG to decide what's "irresponsible government"?
If I was GG and felt giving $400bn to the US for useless submarines was irresponsible?

If it didn't matter that Kerr had been colluding with the establishment, supposedly neutral HC CJ, supposedly neutral royals, etc - why did they lie so relentlessly about it? And why were our national archives still covering up 40 years later, and having to be ordered by the HC to release documents?
I'm delighted to be guest interviewee on 7News' The Issue discussing the dismissal of the Whitlam govt & the secret correspondence btwn Kerr and the Queen. Thank you Tim Lester! #auspol www.youtube.com/watch?v=AH_W...
