The ABC must commission an independent inquiry into the broadcaster’s independence from outside interference and apologise for allowing external pressure to influence the dismissal of Antoinette Lattouf and attempts to have other journalists sacked.

That the ABC is still inviting idiotic, warmongering, failed former PMs and equally idiotic and biased Murdoch operatives onto their programs whilst revising their social media policies for staff in the wake of today’s ruling says all we need to know about how they will deal with it.

Jane Norman from the ABC beside herself that President Trump leaving the G7 early and calls it a ‘blow’ to PM Albanese. Watch the media just go OTT and make it Albo’s fault. Pres. Trump was due to meet many leaders tomorrow plus Israel and Iran blowing each other up!

Interesting, if you go to the ABC News website, looking under "Politics" or "Australia Votes", there's an article on Liberal Tim Wilson winning the seat of Goldstein. You have to search for the report on community independent Nicolette Boele winning Bradfield from the Liberals! #auspol #AusVotes25

Exactly, there's 24 regional seats & 38 rural seats. The Nationals have 15 of them. They barely represent a quarter of regional/rural seats & even in the seats they have, not everyone votes Nats. Media never bothers to mention that. Nats are barely relevant to 'the bush'. #SundayShot #auspol

McKenzie says that Nats will “always stand up for the 9 million Australians who live in regional Australia”
While I would argue the truth of her statement I’ll let facts do the talking.
Under 600k ppl voted for the Nats as a party
So 8.4 million regional ppl feel they are not represented by Nats

Tonight, Sarah Ferguson's separate interviews with Nationals Leader David Littleproud & Liberal Leader Sussan Ley (plus the commentary & analysis from Laura Tingle) on the Coalition split were all excellent. But I hope the ABC can now move back to discussing what the Govt is doing. #auspol #abc730

David Plouffe says Biden ‘totally fucked us’ and calls Harris’s 107-day sprint against Trump a ‘fucking nightmare’
Joe Biden “totally fucked us” by leaving it too late to drop out of the 2024 US presidential election, a former top campaign aide to Kamala Harris has told the authors of a new book.
David Plouffe, who was manager of Barack Obama’s winning 2008 campaign and a senior adviser in his White House, was drafted in to help Harris’s bid for president after the declining Biden withdrew from the race last summer. Continue reading...

Peter Dutton TWO weeks ago…..
“We can’t afford a tax cut”….
Bad polls??
Here’s a $1200 tax cut and huge tax deduction on mortgages.
The stench of desperation from Dutton would make a sewer smell like a bed of roses.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.
