The Fordham Effect – The Shot

When the government takes centrist positions on issues that need transformative and inspirational leadership, it gets bogged down trying to defend against bad faith actors who dog-whistle ‘communism’ at anything that threatens their paymasters’ interests, instead of leading from the front on reforms and policies that rise above populist fearmongering and deliver to Australians what they unequivocally voted for.

Ben Fordham is seen speaking into a microphone, with headphones on, in a radio studio.

Fordham is a real “dickhead”, Our PM goes on 2GB, unlike LNP’s Tony Abbott, Dutton and Morrison who spent time boycotting the people’s ABC to be abused not by a “news and information” station but the voice of right-wing radio.

Fordham was ready to kick the shit out of our PM for standing up for the universal human right of Indigenous Australians to be recognized for who and what they are in this country’s history and to turn our shame around and change what we have been doing to them without respect for 240 years. Fordham is simply a self-serving racist prick who offered listeners nothing but a cheerleader for the shameless.

Fordham and his ilk are the ones “risking” constitutional recognition, playing games with the referendum while insisting they have Indigenous Australians’ interests at heart. Are we really expected to believe Fordham is “worried about this failing”, as he continues to put forward bad-faith arguments against the Voice?
