Just your regular reminder that Murdoch (who helped found one of the #AtlasNetwork junktanks in Australia) regularly platforms people representing AN junktanks like Nick Cater’s Menzies Research Centre. Atlas Network bodies are interconnected with fossil fuel money. #Auspol

@MikeCarlton01 Thanks for giving an honest assessment of a truly appalling human. Too much tiptoeing around the revolting facts. There are lots of us who’ve been watching his impact on refugee lives in grief and disgust and we’re delighted to see the rest of the country catching up.

The market Alan Jones is pitching to on ADH TV is pathologically anti “groomer” and anti LGBTQIA+. Child abuse (from reading a picture book about paired male penguins up) is their nightmare. How will these allegations sit with that crowd? Will they assert the Deep State strikes?

Every time I write about the risk of American-style Christianity to our Australian lives, people tell me it is a distant threat. It's not. This movement is the moral heft of the anti-"woke" movement - with all its fascistic implications: #auspol #springst

The #AtlasNetwork ’s key Aus region event, the Friedman Conference, became something new this year. It merged with the Church and State show. Libertarian “freedom” was always for plutocrats & enablers - absolutely not for workers. Now “freedom” = “enforced ‘virtue’” too. #auspol

In Victoria, the shift to public spending on campaigns has been an important integrity measure. It is infuriating that it was designed in such a way to prevent quality independents & minor parties beating the majors. #SpringSt #Auspol

Labor slipped neoliberalism into Australia, not a Thatcher or Reagan. Now Labor is unable to end the drastic overfunding of private schools, impoverishing of public schools, crippling HECS debts. USA shows these measures born of fear of electorate #Auspol

Protest is supposed to be inconvenient. If it’s convenient, it’s probably invisible. It’s a crucial tool against overweening and unresponsive forms of power. @AlboMP must pressure Labor states to remove draconian laws suppressing protest. #auspol

Remember Advance (Australia) was founded by CIS-affiliated donors and figures. The Centre for Independent Studies (CIS) is an #AtlasNetwork partner. This is an American pro-plutocrat game trying to prevent the democratic project interfering with plutocrat plans. #Auspol

A cautionary important thread on how the culture war mongers do their work. The last week shows how Peter Dutton plans to win the next election, assisted by media who moonlight as the LNP PR machine, working in unison with a conservative lobby group funded by billionaires. /1

Across Australia, energy companies are beginning to realise they need to rely less on fossil fuels, and redirect their strategy to renewables and green energy. But there’s one big barrier to this...
