All Hail Our Glorious Leader: Rupert Murdoch – » The Australian Independent Media Network

The Goebellian Voice behind the psychopaths who would be kings Abbott, Morrison, Dutton, Trump,and Boris

 even though the right-wing political parties in our country have been rejected by the population, they still run the country. The outcome of the Voice referendum concretely demonstrates that our country is currently being run from overseas, as a wholly owned subsidiary of NewsCorp. It illustrates starkly that the mainstream press in Australia is the actual right-wing opposition, not the LNP.

Most of the world now looks on us as being a country full of unreconstructed racists. It is hard to disagree with this assessment. Thanks, Rupert and NewsCorp. Thank you Channel Nine. Thank you, Sky News. I am sure that in these newsrooms they will be partying late into the night. It’s hard to blame them. After all, they have once again demonstrated exactly who is running the country.

ALP Government,

Don’t Give Up on Labor or forget the Independents ! – » The Australian Independent Media Network

In recent times my own positive feelings towards the Greens have been eroded when they have chosen to align themselves with the coalition and One Nation to thwart government (usually Labor) policy. It may well be that the Greens were seeking the perfect in their policies and in their opposition to the ALP but be assured that the coalition and One Nation had no higher ambition than opposing for the sake of opposing.

NOPE, NOPE NOPE

Clearly Dutton is using the same tactics as Abbott did – total opposition – which is what got us into this ‘wasted decade’ in the first place.Despite the various ‘experts’ ruminations on when it was over, that’s probably why Albanese is still ‘enjoying a honeymoon’ three months after the election. There are promising signs the adults are in charge and have a long-term plan that doesn’t rely on marketing and coverups.

Inside the Liberal Party’s debate on how to win back Chinese-Australians and teal voters

Dutton has been telling colleagues that the party should also take an ambitious package of economic reforms to the next election. According to the plan, this would focus the mind of traditional Liberal voters who saw no daylight between Morrison and Albanese on the economy.

Nope Nope Nope and no Specifics other than don’t cooperate on anything.

Will the Opposition achieve relevancy? Only time will tell. – » The Australian Independent Media Network

Without a single thought or platform of their own, the LNP under Peter Dutton’s leadership is grasping at Republican strategies in order to regain power. It’s not for Australia’s sake but simply for their own benefit. Like Dutton the strategy is entirely unoriginal or relevant..

My thought for the day

The ability of thinking human beings to blindly embrace what they are being told without referring to evaluation and the consideration of reason never ceases to amaze me. It is tantamount to the rejection of rational explanation. ( John Lord )

ALP Government,

How Right disunity emboldens the Left – » The Australian Independent Media Network

So where now for the Right?

We are witnessing a monumental disconnect among those who define themselves as of the Right.

A stark example is the discombobulation of members of the Conservative Party of the UK, who abandoned former Prime Minister Boris Johnson in droves, suggesting the British Right has lost all faith in its philosophy.

The same is true of the Liberal Party of Australia, which, to a casual observer, appears devoid of political relevance.

Post Election 2022

Election: Australia’s Big Lie (from the right): Morrison went too far left

This Australian version of the Big Lie is the first stage of a war for the future of the federal Liberal Party, with the far-right unable to resist the opportunity to exploit the removal of so many more moderate MPs to drive the federal party away from climate action and towards culture wars, division and attacks on women and minorities.

At the centre of it will be the foreign political party News Corp. Despite its irrelevance to mainstream Australia being demonstrated by the election result, the Murdochs will continue to wield significant influence within a purged Coalition, and the company will seize on its status as an opposition party. From yesterday, the Murdoch campaign of regime change in Australia began — it’s just that the campaign extends to the Coalition as well as a Labor government.

This shouldn’t be treated as some sort of sideshow. When Tony Abbott defeated Malcolm Turnbull in 2009 by one vote, with the backing of News Corp, he set the stage for 13 years of climate wars and polarised, toxic politics. He was aided by Kevin Rudd’s failure to seize the moment and go to an election that would have smashed the Coalition. One mistake is all it takes and the course of political history can be very different.

The Big Lie, Australian style, is just the start.
