@InsurgoFormica They’ve created an alternate reality where facts don’t matter — just endless reruns of old grudges and Murdoch talking points. Sky News seems to be preaching only to the already converted or the easily led. #auspol #MurdochRoyalCommission

@jhaue It’s infuriating to see the obstruction playbook laid out so plainly. While people lose their homes to fires and floods, the Murdoch press and the business council work tirelessly to block any real change.
Let’s be honest: Murdoch almost certainly has a massive hidden financial stake in keeping fossil fuels alive. We may never know the full extent, but he’s not doing this for the economy - he’s protecting his own fortune.
They are arsonists posing as firefighters, and they belong in the dock for crimes against the future, not on the opinion pages.

News.com.au serving up Cold War leftovers again. Now we’ve got a “cyber expert” warning that China could make EVs explode. Next they’ll tell us Beijing controls your toaster. Laughable fearmongering dressed as journalism.

The delicate sensibilities of their viewers need to be guarded against contrary opinions.
It's not that #SkyNews thinks that censorship is always good, just that in the case of their brainwashed viewers some censorship is good for company profits, and looks good in annual employee reviews too.
Once upon a time you could buy a Mini, Merc or Citroën made in Australia.
Not just sold here — actually assembled in local factories.
It didn’t last, but it happened. And it says a lot about what we once thought was possible.

It doesn’t take many votes to get a seat in the Senate and One Nation knows it. A primary vote of just 4–6% is often enough when preferences from other right-wing micro parties flow their way.
Add to that a media ecosystem—hello Sky After Dark—that gives them relentless coverage (even when it’s negative), and you’ve got a recipe for survival.

Murdoch’s real cash cow isn’t Sky or the Oz — it’s REA Group, raking in nearly 90% of his profits. But even that’s not enough.
Now he’s shipping Aussie jobs offshore to save a few bucks — all while pretending to champion “local” values. Profits up, loyalty down.

Hmmmm, #KerryStokes not showing much interest in federal politics.
No hint of a #MurdochRoyalCommission remains in the air?
@InsurgoFormica “Worst government ever”? You mean the only government in living memory with the guts to give us universal healthcare, free university education, Indigenous land rights, no-fault divorce, and an independent foreign policy?
What’s really being celebrated here is 50 years since a media baron and a complicit Governor-General colluded to sack a democratically elected government.
Murdoch’s campaign against Whitlam wasn’t about bad governance — it was about protecting power, privilege, and profit.

The Murdochs feud like petty royals, but their empire keeps poisoning democracy. Whether it’s Fox News radicalizing the US, Sky News fearmongering in the UK, or the Australian grinding axes here, their media machine exists to distort, divide, and entrench power.
And yet, as they bicker, the damage is done:

@Beltliner403 @dan613 @RealJournalism
Yet more billions poured into war machines, while our schools crumble, housing becomes unaffordable, and health services are stretched to breaking point. How long must we keep pretending this is about “defence” and not US geopolitical dominance? Australia is being dragged into another Cold War, and we’ve seen this play before. The Whitlam government was ousted with US backing when it dared to assert independence. When we ignore that history, we repeat it.

Never mind climate collapse, a housing crisis, rising homelessness or genocide in Gaza — Australians have found the real outrage: taxing the rich. How dare anyone suggest it?

News Corp owns much of the Liberals' spectacular defeat. The Liberal Party needs to wake up: News Corp is a foreign-owned media empire pushing division, resentment and fear — not good policy. Its alliance with the Liberals serves the Murdochs and shareholders, not Australians. And it pays zero tax here. #auspol #murdochmedia #liberalparty #MurdochRoyalCommission

@MsDropbear42 Your point is valid, but it’s exactly why systemic issues like lack of education and media monopolies (looking at you, Murdoch) are so dangerous. People vote against their own interests when they’re fed fear-mongering propaganda and denied access to critical thinking skills. The U.S. is indeed a case study in collapse, but Australia isn’t immune.
Here, we’re already seeing:
* Privatised education prioritised over public schools, widening inequality.
* Medicare gutted to push privatised healthcare.
* A media landscape dominated by one oligarch shaping narratives to serve the wealthy.
I have no sympathy for the U.S., but I do care about stopping Australia from replicating its dystopia. If we don’t fight for education, Medicare, and media reform, we’ll end up with the same "failed state" playbook, just with worse coffee.
Murdoch Press has begun its usual dirty tactics campaign in an effort to get Australia's version of Trump (Peter Dutton) elected
Corporate media wants you to believe public servants are "wasting your money," but they'll never tell you about the $20 BILLION in taxpayer dollars that went straight to private consultants under SCOMO. Watch how these corporate shills try to convince Aussie punters that spending money on nurses, teachers and aged care workers is "government waste," while their billionaire mates rake in massive consulting fees and pay zero tax. #auspol #privatisation #MurdochRoyalCommission
