The Betoota Advocate's reporting is better researched and more credible than CNNPT's staple diet of bullsh that he gulps by the bucket load, from The Guardian, SMH, The Reject, Cut Corners, Insideachothers, 7:30 Retort or anything else on Their ABC, CNN, NYT or any of the USA's mainstreammeeja.
Have to admit they are not as hard hitting as those "Sunday" journalists on Channel 7 ...

Just about all media outlets are scraping the barrel in a clickbait attempt to stay relevant and alive. It doesn't matter whether Doc or PT is a subscriber.

Spot on 3bs - the problem is that what I stated is unmitigated fact ... sadly, the main stream media has no place for robust investigative journalism anymore.
Rather, in the news as entertainment world we live in, headlines must grab attention in the moment. Editors crave the sensational, normally unconfirmed attention grabbing headline, that has more often than not originally been inaccurately reported by the "citizen reporter", recorded on an iphone and posted on social media ... and they just plagiarise the "news" verbatim, and instantaneously, with fact checking and verification becoming an inconvenient after thought, if a thing at all.
It used to be a cliche that the front page needed to feature a "man bites dog" story ... that is the whole publication today, and fantasy is now fact. Fake news is the new black.

With a lying corrupt carnival spruiker who deals in relative truths and alternative facts, employing his Russian active measures brand of information warfare running the world, the mainstream media is doing a very good job of sorting it out, and is winning, and these satirical news sites and late night comedians are an integral part.
We will be ok |

"AT the 2016 federal election, the National Party won 4.6% of the popular vote in the House of Representatives, and 0.25% in the Senate, and ended up with 21 seats in both houses of Parliament. The Greens won 10.2% in the House and 8.7% in the Senate, but ended up with just 10 seats. How is it then that a party that has the backing of only one Australian out of every 20 voters holds such sway on Canberra? The Nationals are the greatest fraud in Australian politics. They are a party that purports to be the voice of battling country Australians but are in Parliament to represent the vested interests of the landed gentry, clad in the accoutrements of the squattocracy — Moleksins, Akubras and RM Williams boots — and populated by in-bred halfwits like George Christensen. The people of rural and regional Australia have been shortchanged for decades by their supposed political representatives in Canberra, a bunch of opportunistic populists who preach family values while conducting affairs behind their wives’ backs, who sell-out hardworking people at every opportunity and stand for nothing but their own self-interest. Virtually since their inception, the Nationals have been a public embarassment, stumbling around the national and state political stages like a crude country cousin gatecrashing a sophisticated city soiree. They became a laughing stock last year when they lost both their leader and their deputy leader in the citizenship fiasco. Yet, the Press Gallery has watched their antics with benign tolerance and stifled amusement, and has been willing to ignore the regular stuff-ups, the lies and low-level corruption. But then along came Barnaby Joyce carrying on like Les Patterson and finally, it seems, the game is up. FROM the moment he arrived in Canberra as a Queensland Senator in 2005, Barnaby Joyce had that rare mix of incompetence and buffoonery that seems intrinsic to a successful National Party politician, combined with rat cunning and ruthless ambition. But he made good copy so for a long time, he got away with it. He was always quotable, so the Press Gallery played along with his “straight-talkin’ Barnaby from Tamworth” schtick, building the myth of “authenticity” of “the best retail politician in the country”*. It almost defies belief that this buffoon has been able to rise so high. But every misstep or lie — remember the warnings about how pricing carbon pollution would lead to $100 lamb roasts or his questionable friendship with Gina Rinehart or his decision to relocate a major agricultural bureaucracy within his own electorate, against all sensible advice — was glossed over even as Joyce changed states and chambers of parliament in his relentless pursuit of the Nationals’ leadership. Barnaby was — according to the Press Gallery gospel — just the latest in a long line of “colourful” Nationals MPs, a continuation of the party’s jolly traditions of bigotry, homophobia and blatant feathernesting. Harmless fun, except if you happen to be Aboriginal, or gay, or standing between a National and a pot of money. But finally, the 21st century caught up with Barnaby, and hopefully with the Nationals themselves. The facts of what is now known as “Barnababy” are these: sometime about a year ago, the Deputy Prime Minister began banging his press secretary, who happened to be 15 years his junior, then when the heat became too much, arranged for her to be found a high-paying, taxpayer funded job working for another National MP, got her up the duff, and ultimately has been thrown out of the family home. It wasn’t only the hypocrisy of a so-called “family values” politician enjoying his bit on the side while the long-suffering wife got trotted out for picture opportunities when he needed her. But Joyce’s behaviour exposed a serial rorter with a breathtaking sense of self-entitlement. As Barnaby discovered, life is good when you’re a Nationals MP in Canberra hundreds or thousands of kilometres from home. Canberra has all the ornaments of sophisticated city life, fine food and wine, young women (or men) you can dally with well away from the glare and scrutiny of your community. Meanwhile back home is the dutiful wife, left to run the farm and the family who you pull out as a prop for re-election every three years or so. Who would willingly give up this double life, or the $200,000-plus that a backbencher earns? Barnaby Joyce is the reason why people have lost faith in all politicians — turns out the supposedly authentic, “best retail politician in the country”** is only it for himself. Yet Joyce is still clinging to his job, refusing to step down even as two-thirds of Australians say he should, even as the Prime Minister condemns him for his behaviour and all but declares him unfit for office. Instead, Joyce hits back at the PM as “inept” and digs in, staring down any other National MP who might suggest it’s time to go. The government of the nation has been thrown into turmoil — with the two most senior Liberals overseas this week and Joyce taking what we are told is a much-needed week of leave, we are left with Mathias Cormann as acting Prime Minister. With his refusal to concede his errors — even when two-thirds of voters say he should go — Barnaby Joyce is prepared to bring down the government through his own hubris. And all because Joyce insists this is a “private matter”. Meanwhile, we are treated to the spectacle of a gun-toting redneck Queensland National Senator inciting violence against environmentalists.

Libs and Nats dont contest seats each holds so as to not split the conservative vote, whereas Labor and Greens contest many seats together, so the progressive vote is split.

Nothing to see here folks, just how Liberals caucusing.
Liberal Party branch meeting descends into 'unprecedented' brawl at Arncliffe cafeBy Paige Cockburn and Jean Kennedy Updated yesterday at 6:17pm A New South Wales Liberal Party meeting has seen one man hospitalised after a brawl broke out at a cafe in Sydney's south. A senior Liberal Party source said the clash was "unprecedented" and a "tragic internal gelati fight brought about by the pettiness of politics". Numerous people were seen running from Naji's Cafe on Firth Street in Arncliffe after police were called just before 7:00pm. A NSW Liberal Party member, who said he was there, told the ABC another member tried to branch stack the meeting with outsiders. Police have confirmed the cafe is owned by Liberal councillor Michael Nagi. He is one of three councillors who represent the Mascot ward on Bayside Council. The function turned ugly when members started fighting over the body in charge of selecting councillors more.... http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-06-18/liberal-party-brawl-at-arncliffe-cafe/9883926 |

... anybody bother to read that report? Can we just shut the ABC News department down NOW ... I'm happy to pay $1 billion a year for them to produce Play School is they get rid of the rest of the blatantly biased oxygen thieves! "The eyewitness, who does not want to be identified for fear of reprisals, said the outsiders were from Sydney's south-west. "[They] purposefully tried to branch stack us with people from the Bankstown-Canterbury region," he said. "This seemed to be a real focus on race, religion." Yet, nowhere do they mention the Muslims attacking the Coptic Christians (they don't report it when it happens in Egypt either!)... in fact, even though they mention "race, religion", there is NO MENTION OF WHICH RACES OR RELIGIONS ... Yep, you must wonder, if the ABC don't report it, did it really happen at all, in FAKE NEWS Leftie Land??? WHY THE COVER UP, ISLAMIC SYMATHISING ABC??? ... and for those who like their news FACTUAL, here is WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ... 'Muslims were calling Christians f***ing dogs': Inside the Liberal Party's violent 'religion-fuelled street brawl' - that erupted outside a Sydney charcoal chicken shop
A violent confrontation erupted outside an Islamic-owned charcoal chicken shop as Muslim men allegedly hurled chairs at a Christian during a Liberal Party brawl. A witness, going by the name of John, claimed he saw violence on the main street of Arncliffe in Sydney's south on Monday night, where a Christian man was stomped on and an elderly woman was punched and thrown to the ground. The violence started inside a cafe and charcoal chicken shop owned by a Muslim businessman and Liberal Party councillor, Michael Nagi, and has been connected with a factional dispute within the conservative party. A Liberal branch meeting erupted into a fracas at the Naji's Cafe as the moderate faction, linked to the business owner, had tried to bring the Earlwood branch into the Bayside chapter Words erupted and basically from there, it turned into a religious war between Christians and Muslims,' John told radio 2GB breakfast king Alan Jones on Tuesday. Got him to the ground, stomped on his head, got chairs, smashed him across the head, kicking him, table on his head. 'Some of the guys from, obviously, the Islamic faith were saying f*** off Christians, f*** Coptic dogs. They were there to intimidate.' He claimed an old woman was also hit in the presence of children. 'There was an elderly woman that was punched, they were thrown to the ground,' he said. 'There were children there that were obviously traumatised.' The brawl started inside Naji's Cafe on Firth Street shortly before 7pm. The cafe is owned by Bayside Liberal councillor Michael Nagi, a Shiite Muslim, who hails from the party's moderate faction. It is understood the moderate faction was trying to allow the Earlwood branch to become part of the Bayside branch of the Liberal Party, Fairfax Media reported. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5859365/Muslim-men-seen-attacking-Christian-Liberal-Party-brawl-Arncliffe-Sydneys-south.html |

Yep, it's impossible to escape the irony ... mind you, if Rockdale wants to ship all of our Radical Islamic Terrorists from Canterbury-Bankstown, permanently, I'm all in!
Shut down the ABC. Close the Border to Radical Islamic Terrorists.

no, pay attention, it's a pretty simple concept here softon
... the ABC REFUSES TO REPORT ON RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM - we don't care if they are pretend Labor Lite Libs like these ones - IT WOULD JUST BE A PLEASANT SURPRISE IF THEY WERE TO EVER TELL THE FCUKING TRUTH you are forgiven if you are colour blind.

You could probably forgive the abc for thinking that if it reported the Liberals were branch stacking with radical islamists they might shut them down immediately.
I’m not sure even good old Eric Abetz knows what to make of this lol. |

I think Bullgelati Bill is fcuked.
Gunna be hard arguing the next election on his only 3 policies; 1. Stealing back the LNP's tax cuts. 2. Open Borders - Welcome the Boats! 3. Removing Negative Gearing, and thus putting more downward pressure on a plummeting Property Market. ... oh, and I forgot, Gay Marriage!
