A handy chockfull guide right here for those journalists traducing the craft by not reporting context-laden facts.

Your regular reminder that *everything* Peter Dutton says about The Voice is done in bad faith

Excellent incisive piece.

Including this:

“For six months polls slid, the referendum was routinely described as “troubled”. Journalists reported and amplified, but rarely effectively challenged.”

This is political bullshit from Dutton, 'if elected'. But, as he explained on Kitchen Cabinet, sometimes you just want to say stuff to be noticed... thenewdaily.com.au/indigenous-voi…

If only the Coalition had been in government recently (for example, for nine years) and had a chance to do this. Alas!

Xi Jinping, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un think Donald Trump is a “laughing fool”, says John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser who was with Trump when he met those leaders.

I'm no fancy big city political pundit but I have spent plenty of time in and around John Farnham audiences. Let me tell you: those people be fervent. He's family to them. It is a quiet but huge and intensely devoted fan base unlike any in Australian music. #JohnFarnham

Big mistake, Jacinta. Schoolyard level insult. Patrick Dodson said a few weeks ago this campaign would be won by our poets and artists. Paul Kelly, Jimmy Barnes, Johnny Farnham….feel the momentum is starting to swing…

Stay with it .. to the guns and not paying taxes bit.

We'll leave you with that, thanks for watching #Insiders #auspol

Don’t have to be a rugby fan ( or Bokkies supporter) to appreciate this!

Absolutely spot on!

John Farnham joins YES campaign with his song Voice. ‘That song changed my life. I can only hope that now it might help, in some small way, to change the lives of our First Nations peoples for the better’. Wonderful. Thank you John Farnham #auspol thenewdaily.com.au/news/2023/09/0…

My apologies to those who say I’m insulting no voters. The no campaign is telling us no voters “don’t know” what they’re voting on. The no campaign is telling us no voters might put a cross where it says “Write YES or NO”. If anyone’s insulting no voters, it’s the no campaign.

If you’re a Jimmy Buffet fan .. this.

Right up to the last minute his eyes still twinkled with a humour that said, ‘I love this world and I’m going to enjoy every minute of it’.
