Well #MorrySchwartz may well have the power and elite influence to sway pathetically weak cultural boards in order to silence Palestinian artists, but I have the power to stop buying & reading #TheSaturdayPaper.

1) As Hewson writes, “They exaggerated, misrepresented and tried to shape the country’s future to suit their own agendas but all they really succeeded in doing was failing the public.” It’s time the media stopped playing kingmaker and started serving democracy. #auspol #TheSaturdayPaper

Dutton amateur hour on policy, he has no interest and is not capable of leadership.

Australia's major problems are unlikely to be addressed in the election campaign. Instead, we will focus on personality and grievance and ignore the colossal policy challenges in front of us. Australia ranks No.1 per capita in the world for spending on gambling, our education system is one of the most unequal in the Western world and our federal parliament sits for fewer days than any other democracy. We are more secretive than Britain or the US, our great institutions suffer from a loss of trust and funding, our refugee policies are extremely cruel, our greenhouse gas emissions are rising and we are dishonest about race, class and history. None of these are shaping up as major issues at the next election. All of them should be.

I miss Barry Jones. Who in our current crop of politicians comes near. #auspol #TheSaturdayPaper

Mike Seccombe being absolutely and deservedly brutal.

How can we get all our Independent media like #Crikey #MichaelWest #TheSaturdayPaper and many others to join forces. We need one big media source to counteract Murdoch lies. So many excellent journalists to choose from.

The mole-rat’s back It is not unusual for opposition leaders to perform better than they should in the polls. It’s a gentle way for voters to register their dissatisfaction. The surprise is that it’s true even for Peter ...

How the media facilitates Dutton’s nuclear lies The fault is the media’s also. It entertains the nonsense, repeats it until it is real. It pretends there is debate where there is none. It leans too heavily on conflict. It mistakes credulity for

There is little enough being debated that this is taking up all the space. It is interrupting the inevitable shift to renewables. That is its sole intention.

An Albanese has been crucified to a wooden cross, with a plaque on top [DEPORTATION BILL], roped and nailed, arrows in his body, his loins wrapped in his nappy, still alive but not doing well. He looks down to see his mother, in her Chador, pointing at him: HE'S NOT THE MESSIAH, HE'S JUST A *VERY* *NAUGHTY* *BOY*!
