@dropbear42 @ajsadauskas @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook That would mean we wouldn’t have voted Morrison out yet.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook Chris Minns is also thanking all his extended family, unlike Dom, who forgot to thank his brothers.
Tonight’s result just wouldn’t have been the same without them…

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook There’s a bigger national question out of tonight.
Over the past decade, the Libs have blindly followed Murdoch’s lead.
They’ve pushed culture wars, they’ve resisted climate action, and they’ve privatised public assets. They’ve tried Islamophobia, homophobia, outright racism (particularly against Africans and Aboriginal people), and transphobia.
And now they’re out of office across the mainland. Federal and state.
Maybe pretending this is America and playing to “the base” isn’t working so well.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook “There are obviously problems for the Liberal Party. And while Liberal Party is better than other states in NSW, it is difficult to admit you have an ugly baby, and the Liberal Party needs to have that conversation” — Liberal Party Strategist Tony Barry.

Fortunately, Australia is nothing like the US and never will be. Australians can actually critically evaluate information coming to them and form their own opinion. Murdochs’s influence in Australia is dead. What a joy to witness…
@amazing_thoward @dropbear42 @lilstevie @ajsadauskas@lemmy.ml @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook I mentioned it elsewhere, but it’s worth repeating.
Over the past decade or so, there’s been a shift in how the Murdoch media covers the news.
It’s always had a right-wing bias.
But there used to be a distinction between news (which at least pretended to try to be objective) and opinion (which had a more overt right wing bias).
Even on Fox News, they used to always have at least one nominally “left wing” talking head for “balance”. They used to pair Sean Hannity with Alan Colmes as a co-host for “balance”.
They’ve now completely obliterated that distinction. It’s all overt right wing propaganda.
And being so overt in the bias has ended up hurting its influence.
