Murdoch’s monopoly sets the tone for TV, radio & online news. That's why their papers work so hard for Morrison. Today 46 articles favoured the LNP; 43 neutral; 13 to Labor. A political protection racket for Morrison & Frydenberg, who delivered NewsCorp's digital bargaining code.

Inflation at 20 yr high.
Biggest deficit in our lifetime.
$1 trillion debt.
1st interest rate hike in over 10 yrs.
Falling real wages.
Productivity growth in sharp decline.
If the Treasurer was a doctor, he'd be sued for malpractice.

In 1995 the Marks Royal Commission was called after the suicide of one person...why has one not been called following the deaths of over 2000 people?

Just a reminder the Abbott govt convened a costly RC into the home insulation program over three deaths. Over 2000 deaths are attributed to the Robodebt fiasco. Furthermore in the Netherlands the government resigned over a lesser debacle. bbc.com/news/world-europe-55…

Today, Grace Tame met with the Prime Minister at the Lodge, with now-viral photos appearing online. We discuss the day and the differing opinions with @AmyRemeikis. #TheProjectTV

A quiet reminder that when Justice Kenneth Hayne, head of royal commission into banking misconduct, refused to smile or even shake the hand of the Treasurer during a photo op in 2019, it was not considered the stuff of national calamity.
@TamePunk is making a similar point.
Box of Huggies nappies in 2021: $30rrp. Same box in 2022: $34. 13.33% increase for an essential item for young families. Teachers’ pay increase capped at 2.5%. These are the arguments we need to put to the IRC. @AGavrielatos #morethanthanks
2021-22 increase in our childcare fees: 4.35%. Average annual increase in private health insurance over the past 10 years: 4.63%. NSW teachers pay increases mandated at 2.5% (which is split between salary and super). Something doesn’t add up here. @AGavrielatos #morethanthanks

With the dangerous new Omicron variant spreading through South Africa, just a reminder that since March 2020 Scott Morrison has posed for more photographs in a truck than he has built quarantine facilities theshovel.com.au/data-centre…

I’d like the Australian PM to condemn violent extremist ideology - and to do so without adding the word ‘but…..’. It also seems weird to me that some will see this as a politically biased statement that goes against my continuing employment at the ABC.

Where on earth would a violent mob have gotten the idea that Premier Andrews was a dictator who needed to be toppled? Murdoch can't walk away from this. @Murdoch_RC

Today Australia was awarded the Fossil of the COP - a ‘prize’ given by a coalition of civil society orgs to the worst performing country throughout the #COP26 climate conference.
Here’s a recap of how @ScottMorrisonMP earned such a disappointing award:
