Independent Australia's hypothesis that "comedian" Dave Hughes' appearances at Liberal Party fundraisers may contravene electoral laws was correct. Neo-Liberal comiconomics with Dave Hughes 2: No laughing matter independentaustralia.net/pol… via @IndependentAus

Trump's Pentagon is planning to livestream an execution on 3 December, and Australia has no law to keep it off our screens. I just signed this petition to Albanese – it takes 10 seconds. act.getup.org.au/s/Xe14JXbn

Stand together, or fall apart. If One Nation excludes some media from press conferences, then all media should refuse to attend. The @FriendsoftheABC has called on all Australian journalists and media companies to resist One Nation’s censorship. “Join our call for Australia's media companies to stand together and refuse to cover One Nation's press conferences if any media outlets are denied entry.” Sign to show your support - abcfriends.au/actions/boycot…

Entirely dodgy. Dave Hughes is entitled to front Liberal Party events on commercial terms and be paid for it. What he can’t do is take that payment and hand it straight back — because it would exceed the amount he’s legally allowed to donate. Dave wants money out of politics except for those times it doesn’t suit his and the LNP’s agenda.
