The Murdocracy

[TigerForce]

It's a bit like the RBA, whatever they do, the banks follow (not all the time, but mostly). My previous employer just kept on following Dopey Dan's rules everytime masks were on and off (when we REALLY didn't need to wear them given how empty the office was and adjusted seating). Who knows what that pandemic bill covers....it worries me.

In the end, it really is between the employee and employer as to WFH rules. Dopey Dan just wants to make his dead town city look great again. Public transport here is uhmm......

 

[Redford]

Yeah guess Dan's way to busy ordering everyone else exactly what to do n when to do it to even bother thinking about suggesting that it's time for Govt paid office workers to go back to work in the Govt office.

Wow. What a weak response.

Facts are, no head of government has, nor will they ever, for patently obvious reasons, tell any employer that their staff have to work in an office. And by the way, the article was in reference to the full workforce - not just public - making the statement even more absurd (if that’s possible).

RWNJ hysterics at its best.

 

[DavidSSS]

The public service would go back to work on the basis of what the head of the public service says, not the government. The government doesn't really do day to day operations. The orders around whether people are at work are health orders. Wise to slow the spread at the moment I would have thought, we're getting the numbers down and the numbers in hospital are reducing so looks like the strategy is working.

As for the pandemic bill, we know what is in the bill, we saw it a couple of weeks ago. The advice given to the government was made public within 2 weeks because the pandemic law they passed late last year requires this. The pandemic bill mandates transparency, something I applaud and certainly am not worried about.

James Campbell is everything you need to know about the HUN.

As soon it’s above $1,000 should be declared. Anyone who argues differently like Campbell is an idiot.

I think we know why Campbell is arguing differently.

 

[DavidSSS]

Anything over $1,000 declared and only citizens can donate so they can't hide it behind some dodgy trust.

The HS’s headline article today was the quality of fireworks last night and how it was a “kick in the guts” for Victorians.

FMD… you couldn’t make this stuff up if you tried.

They missed a trick, Headline should have been Crap Crackers a Kick in the Knackers.

Might go for a job there!

Not Murdoch, but Costello's Fairfax.

Sydney rail this week, Government shut down the railway. SMH went with "Strike" despite it not being a strike.

Someone has leaked the chat where the reporters are being told by Bevan to call it a strike, despite said reporters not wanting too. MediaWatch might be the only place this gets reported.

Another classic piece of editorial headline mis truths today by the HS. Screaming headlines that read that Australians have been “ordered” to leave Russia immediately and then “told” to leave Russia when in fact the DFAT statement is:

“If you’re in Russia, consider leaving by commercial or private means if it’s safe to do so,” DFAT said.

Get more reality out of a comic book.

Quality publication the HUN.

Yes this is real.

To be honest it is unlikely that anyone living in Kooyong currently undecided will be reading this rag anyway.

 

[Tigers of Old]

True Sin. How anyone could think this rag is anything other than a Liberal propaganda device is beyond me.

Shameless propaganda by a US media mob interfering in our democratic process. No Labor or independent candidate throughout the entire country would ever get coverage like that.

Surely Josh isn't wearing a teal t-shirt is he?

 

[Redford]

Shameless propaganda by a US media mob interfering in our democratic process. No Labor or independent candidate throughout the entire country would ever get coverage like that.

You should read the NYT today. They have dedicated the front pages and numerous pages thereafter to the destruction of democracy that Tucker Carlson and Fox have undertaken in the USA.

Endless, shameless and unaccountable lies and fear mongering, outright racism etc and the perils thereof in America.

It’s quite an expose.

If the ALP wins and don't go after Murdoch they are simply spineless and brainless. They cow-tow to the Murdoch media all the time and this is the treatment they get. Time to get serious and screw them over very badly.

There should be changes to media law in this country otherwise we'll start having the same problems they're having in the USA - if we aren't already.

I personally believe we should invite every Murdoch to a Red Wedding.
