@pewnack @ajsadauskas My comment was more a reference to sections of the Australian media that want to regurgitate the "cost of eggs" narrative from the US election.
Let me give a couple of examples.
Here's 2GB's Mark Levy interviewing Peter Dutton earlier this year: "Yeah, exactly. I get messages here on this programme, Mr Dutton, from listeners who say, ‘well, all we keep hearing is the Treasurer saying that, ‘oh well, we’ve brought inflation under control. Look at what we’ve done to the economy”. And the point they make to me is: ‘have they walked into the local grocery store and done the weekly shop because everybody’s prices of everything is going up’ – petrol, groceries, eggs. I mean, it’s all there and there for everybody to see."

Murdoch's Sky News has trotted out a handpicked supposed ordinary voter from Western Sydney who is supposedly concerned about the price of eggs.

As usual, our ABC is jumping on the News Corp bandwagon: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03-26/why-are-eggs-so-expensive-in-australia-us-donald-trump/105091068
I'm sure you can find more examples.
So the narrative News Corp and others in the Australian political media are so confidently pushing is that the politicians (especially Labor) are out of touch with ordinary voters in Western Sydney.
And the big issue supposedly on every voter's mind in Western Sydney is the price of eggs.
That the people of Parramatta and surrounds are deeply upset by the price they're paying for their eggs.
And the Murdoch press are so deeply in touch with the local zeitgeist they know this is the big issue.
Well, as an actual voter living in actual Western Sydney, I find it somewhat amusing.
Because *WHAT BLOODY EGGS*?!
No-one is worried they're paying too much for eggs, when there's often none in store to buy!
And here's the funny thing.
Had any of these Dutton stenographers so much as stepped foot inside a Coles or Woolies in Western Sydney these past few months, there's an above-average chance they would have said: "Huh. There's no eggs here."
Because *WHAT BLOODY EGGS*?!

The Daily Aus has launched a campaign targeting Peter Dutton after his campaign has continued to ignore the media outlet for an interview.
Billie from TDA was originally pitching for a youth leaders debate, but it was even a no to Zara (co-founder) for an interview request.
TDA's target audience is young people, with a majority of its content appearing on Instagram.
TDA is asking followers to tag Dutton in comments on their post.

Despite the headline the article doesn’t say that Dutton will be the next PM.
Quote from the article.
“The estimates should not be taken as a prediction of the election result”
THE #ABC is clearly running a pro Dutton agenda. Even to the point of ignoring its own research.
Independents hopefully will be much more competitive this time around.

The article states that govt response to call for an enquiry on spending caps was “…donation and spending caps were widely canvassed by parliament’s joint-standing committee on electoral matters.”
Has the committee delivered a report to govt? Has this report, if extant, been released to the public? Why doesn’t the article mention what such report’s findings were. Else why has it not noted that such a report has not been scrutinised? This is poor journalism because it only partially informs with a lot of unstated assumptions.
Where do these journos learn their trade? Or is it a case of personal bias showing through?
This is a very good, lucid assessment of UK’s Labor govt and its ‘wasted opportunity’ to be braver and make a real difference. Kind of reflects what #AlboPM ‘s mob has done so far. Lacklustre term in office with a small target strategy that will not win them votes
#NeverForget He boycotted the apology to Stolen Generations. He does not deserve to be PM of AUS!! H/t @cathywilcox.bsky.social #auspol #AusVotes25 #Election25
