This is what’s driving the increase in popularity of far right politics in Australia.
The strategy used by the parties & politicians owned by the wealthiest few is to deflect attention from the plunder that’s feeding their obscene profits & entice those who are being royally screwed to blame others like themselves. It’s working.
Because Labor has spent decades playing ‘business as usual is fine, please Gina / Rupert don’t attack us’, they have zero credibility in countering this.
Our familiar two party system is over. Mainstream media’s fatuous team sport reporting is animating a spectre.
What do we need? Policy, clarity, integrity, leadership. One Nation has a story but their actions are all about support the wealthy, screw the oppressed.
Time to support independent media & think critically about everything we read.
