Contravening the ABC’s legislated charter, PK heaps praise on Angus Taylor with such unconstrained bias you’d think the theft of $80 million of water buybacks had never existed — as though there were no serious questions at the time, no public outrage, no cloud hanging over his record at all.
The selective amnesia is breathtaking.
If an incoming Labor opposition leader had’ve nicked a packet of chewing gum in his youth, PK would be merciless. There’d be moral lectures about integrity, grave reflections on “character,” and insinuations about whether someone capable of petty theft could ever be trusted with public office. The outrage would be theatrical and relentless.
But when it’s a conservative figure dogged by controversy after he stole $80 million? Suddenly it’s soft lighting and glowing endorsements. The double standard isn’t subtle — it’s shameless.
As a media representative of the ABC, she has a clear obligation under its charter to uphold impartiality and fairness. Instead, what we’re seeing looks far more like advocacy than journalism.
Taxpayers fund the ABC on the understanding that it serves the public, not political favourites. When one of its high-profile journalists appears to abandon neutrality in favour of partisan cheerleading, it erodes trust in the entire institution.
She’s abusing her power as a media representative of the ABC. That’s a crime, and it warrants a custodial sentence.

Josh Frydenberg asked, “How did they come here?”
Sajid Akram arrived under Howard.
He received a gun licence under Abbott.
His Aus born son was assessed and cleared by ASIO under Morrison, with Frydenberg in the Cabinet.
That’s the answer, Josh.

Josh could do with a history lesson.
What he delivered instead was one of the most grotesque acts of political opportunism I’ve ever witnessed.

What’s the point of this Presser? John Howard wheeled out but doesn’t know what’s going on. Can’t answer a question other than to blame the PM
“The role of a leader is to set the tone”
Another role of a leader is to be honest & show unity. Howard always struggled with that🫤#Abc

Indeed @JoshFrydenberg it may be interesting what the announced inquiry will discover. For example, what role in increasing anti-semitism has the Government's historic reluctance to reform 'hate speech' laws (18C). Despite Jewish support, you voted against reform every time.
Prime Minister, your announcement today of an internal departmental review of law enforcement and intelligence agencies is wholly inadequate. To use an Australian colloquialism its bullshit.
It’s weak, it’s wrong, it’s an abrogation of your first and fundamental duty to protect all Australian citizens after the deadliest terrorist attack on Australian soil at Bondi beach.
Your departmental review will not go to the heart of the issues and the radicalisation within our country, which has been allowed to explode on your watch.
Prime Minister what are you afraid a Commonwealth Royal Commission will uncover?
The Commonwealth must take the lead with the most comprehensive, powerful Royal Commission possible. You supported Royal Commissions into the banks, veterans, aged care and welfare system.
Now 15 innocent souls including 10 year old Matilda have been murdered by radical Islamists and all you are prepared to commit to is an internal departmental review? It beggars belief and is the latest failure in federal leadership.
It’s not good enough to pass the buck to NSW whose Premier has already indicated he will hold a Royal Commission. Why is a Royal Commisson good enough for NSW but not the Federal Government?
No one could think that the extremist threat is limited to NSW. These are federal offences, federal responsibilities and failures at the federal level. The threat is national. You yourself have said that this terrorist attack was inspired by the Islamic State, you cannot legitimately conclude that this is a matter to be covered by a state based Royal Commission.
Anti-Jew intimidation, harassment and violence has metastasised in our country and must not be allowed to go one day longer. The tsunami of hate is not just an attack on Jewish Australians, it’s a threat to every Australian. Prime Minister enough is enough!

When the country needs to be held together, Josh Frydenberg reaches for a crowbar.
Division isn’t a consequence of his approach, it’s the point.
It’s a devastating measure of character that this is the best version of leadership he can muster.

Jish Fartenberg was in Tony Abbott’s government and voted to reduce racial discrimination act even though the Jewish community would be impacted, I wonder why he is being disingenuous now or is he just trying to relaunch his political career on divisiveness fear mongering?

Imagine using the murder of 15 people to relaunch your political career.
If this is the future of the Liberals, the party is fucked.

Absolutely disgraceful, using the tragedy of a terrorist attack to play politics.
Freudenberg, Ley & Howard should hang their heads in shame.
Today I visited the site of the Bondi massacre, where terrorists murdered 15 innocent people, including 10-year old, Matilda. It’s time for accountability and action, and for our leaders to turn back the tsunami of hate. Here are my remarks👇youtu.be/uKjNUDXE7rU?si=4VsC…

I'm sure he feels genuine pain and anguish but a large part of it, including this post, read like a political statement and is honestly gross not even 72 hours out from the attack. ISIS terrorists aren't influenced by the actions or perceived in-action of Albanese

The main point of this is that Angus Taylor thought he’d have an easy interview with Billi FitzSimons because it was youth media and was completely bamboozled by someone who knew their stuff.
So just to be clear - the Libs and Nats say they want higher wages & lower taxes, but they’ve repeatedly opposed both and then complain when Labor actually delivers them. Confused? Don’t worry, so is Angus.
