Media staged politics is at the expense of humanity and everything decent. The history of Morrison’s cruelty will be on display. The ABC has seemingly been promised some money back that was taken away after Morrison’s win as it was after Abbott’s. It’s par for the LNP.

The Biloela Family will be used in Morrison’s cruel plan to advertise a false fact “I’m not the man they say I am”. These people have been held politically captive to be released for just this sort of event. We have to remind ourselves, Morrison is simply looking to stop a small % swing against him in marginal electorates. He’s not trying to influence the whole country. So Religious Discrimination stays, ICAC goes, humanizing Morrison remains a priority according to the polls. So acts like this will and must remain on the agenda no matter how calculating they seem to the majority of us. There will be very Australian not a French polish used and it’s coming our way. However, what lies beneath won’t change.

The good news: I’m quietly confident the Biloela family will be “home to Bilo” before the election. The bad news: They should have been there years ago. The despicable news: The timing of their release is being delayed for political theatre, the staging of a “Liberal moderates acting tough, achieving change” pantomime.
