Replying to @HouseOfRIPs
Pauline angrily asks why there is a hold up on giving more migrants more Visas because the faaaaahmers want em!!! God what year is it... Someone pinch me. She's actually cracking the whip for more migrants FASTER! Unbelieeevable. Our govt is screwed if ON gets in.

One Nation dispatches a red-faced Barnaby Joyce to defend its cartoons depicting Daniel Andrews, Lidia Thorpe, and by logical extension Helen Haines, being run over. #HateSpeech: 🎯 Tone 🎯 Repetition 🎯 Echo Chamber 🎯 Injustice (sense of) #auspol #OneNation

Patricia Karvelas is platforming Barnaby Joyce again, a member of declared hate group One Nation. He's defending PHON cartoons depicting politicans being run over, politicans who've already been the subject of death threats. Ban PHON from the ABC. #auspol #OneNation

Jess Wilson says if you vote before she releases her magic pudding costings, that’s essentially your own stupid fault for voting too early. My radical suggestion is that Jess Wilson release her costings before people vote.

Murdoch is up to his old tricks, running with a non-story about Albo and a golf club, day in, day out. Speaking of the new Sydney airport, the LNP corruptly paid an LNP donor $30 million for a block of land worth $3 million for a 2nd runway. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-ne…

Did Hell Freeze Over? Mark Kenny on #Insiders correctly points out it's not just Social Media that's to blame for Hate Speech, it's also the 'traditional' media. Murdoch (not named 🙁) has a long tradition of angertainment. #auspol #journalism #HateSpeech #HelenHaines

2018-2019: Murdoch's Fox News relentlessly scaremongers about a caravan of migrants heading from Mexico to the USA. Aug 2019: Patrick Crusius kills 23 & injures 22 at a Walmart in El Paso Texas, parroting Rupert. #auspol #insiders #journalism #terrorism nytimes.com/interactive/2019…

2018: " ***2,891 *** #Murdoch Media Stories Trashing Islam In A Single Year, Study Reveals". Journalists are too scared or too stupid to point the finger at Murdoch, so they blame Social Media. #auspol #Insiders #HateSpeech #Islamophobia newmatilda.com/2018/03/03/28…
