You want straight talking? Here it is. No jet required. Pauline Hanson says she tells it like it is. So let's do exactly that. The system is not broken. It's working exactly as designed. Against you. These are the headlines the mainstream media won't run. 👇

Anthony Albanese gave a very heartfelt press conference to pay tribute to his friend Richard Scolyer. He then asked "Any questions?" So Andrew Probyn asked him about One Nation! Don't tell me the media isn't fueling this fire.

You know, and this is only one example from an even worse litany, but if the media spent less time analysing the polls around One Nation and quite a bit more time analysing their lack of policies, candidates and credibility, this country might be a bit better off.

The single biggest mistake the ALP in Australia has made in the last 40 years is not addressing media consolidation. Their fear of Murdoch has made them completely compromised by Murdoch, Stokes and now Gina. They allowed the hard right billionaires to control the narrative. Idiocy and cowardice.

Congrats to Grace Tame for the announcement she'll make a podcast about autism with the ABC. There's been a lack of new voices platformed, esp women, in hosting roles at the ABC & also in the autism 'space'. I'll be interested to hear what Ms Tame and her producers explore.
