Also, often journalists just lack the skills to interpret polls or numbers well, and can't or don't care enough to report accurately. Then there's graph crime items like this...

Indeed, they should be reported as "a right-wing think-tank sponsored poll" or "a poll funded by 7West Media, who have fossil fuel interests". Make them wear their sponsors on their sleeves. Polling Council members have to disclose all questions and methodology for all public polling.

Australian Polling Council created in 2019 for better standards & transparent methods in polling - but few companies signed-up, media treats all polls as having same reliability. Critical who commissioned any poll - vested interests (eg IPA always rig qns), or media who write copy for clickbait.

EXACTLY. Lame journos often don't even report the questions punters were allegedly asked. Once got a call from a polling agency, w/- obviously highly slanted political questions. I asked if it was Crosby Textor doing the poll. They denied at first, then admitted. But wouldn't say who paid for it!

This sometime winemaker was talking to another winemaker yesterday and both agreed that Mitchell Taylor is an arsehole......he's been gifted a profitable business by his parents and grandparents and over the years has probably been the beneficiary very generous tax concessions.......

Kyri Toumazos, who is executive director of industry peak body Seafood Industry South Australia, said the commercial sector did not support “catching and releasing fish”. www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

See ya later chumps. And, no we won't buy your wines. #Pathetic

Taylors Wines, involved in Advance Australia. Horrible company, on my boycott list for years.

Those fkn border force uniforms make me sick. And don’t start me on the name…

Right out of the Trump playbook, this is. One Nation’s banning of the ABC and abuse of journalists is shameful. It’s time other media took a stand theconversation.com/one-nations-...

The community in south eastern SA worked for years to gain a moratorium on the process of fracking. However, the South Australian Gov is moving to lift the fracking ban in the states south east, which will open the door for new gas drilling operations. www.foe.org.au/sa_fracking_...

I wonder if the media will remind us he 'promised' a $550 reduction in energy bills. Along with all those other broken promises.

Todd Blanche reminds me a lot of Marco Rubio. Same blind ambition, same wickedness, same weakness.

HUGE NEWS! This morning, the owners of Newcastle Waters instructed management to immediately cease plans for the culling of 20,000 native corellas & galahs. When 1000s of Australians speak up for our iconic nature, the world listens. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. — Environment Centre NT

Dutton was extremely lazy and Taylor is also very lazy. Born to rule attitude.

The Australian, The Age, Sky and a number of other propagandist media outlets in Australia, should be labelled as such - propaganda narrated by billionaire owners, not news.

I don't think Labor governments should be so keen on deregulation.

"The recent A New Approach report found that Australia ranks 25 out of 31 OECD countries for Federal cultural funding. Red lights are blinking all across the dashboard." www.indailysa.com.au/inreview/com...

There really isn't sufficient attention being paid to the fact that the person bankrolling Pauline Hanson - Gina Rinehart - is a fanatical Trump supporter.

I wonder if, when Anthony Albanese looks in the mirror, he sees Keir Starmer staring back at him. I think bold, progressive Labor policies are the answer to One Nation. Be unapologetic about it and claim the high ground, rather than being a quiet, small target all the time - it's not enough.

I arrived in #Spain, where I will join senior government officials in a mission to Tenerife to oversee safe disembarkation of the passengers, crew members and health experts from MV Hondius cruise ship. 1/3

I wonder if the inevitable fate of all centrist (ie slightly right wing) governments is to implode when there’s no ‘centre’ any more because they were always really protecting the rich and powerful at everyone else’s expense www.abc.net.au/news/2026-05...

The United States of Trump is steadily (not even slowly) walking towards competitive authoritarianism. What happened under Trump over the last year took leaders of other hybrid regimes YEARS. As things progress, it's not unlikely the US will be classified as an electoral autocracy by 2028. 1/

The Adelaide Festival board has named a veteran literary festival boss to plot a new course for Adelaide Writers’ Week after the most turbulent time in its history. @waltermarsh.bsky.social

This must hit so hard if you’re incredibly stupid.

Oh, you worked on your art today? Fuck yeah. Go you. More. More!

Everywhere, not just America.

Hanson = DESTRUCTION of Australia's way of life

So when Trump said Gavin Newsom is the president of the United States of America, he meant it, I guess..

Trump: “They have to open up the Strait of Trump, I mean Hormuz… the fake news will say that I said it accidentally. “There are no accidents with me.”

It’s exhausting seeing the worst people on earth getting away with doing truly horrific things on a daily basis.

A key reason not to vote ON. It's the Billionaires Party

THE DISASTERCLASS CONTINUES! Hurn has just said Woodhouse is no longer running for the party, despite the fact that he will still be on the ballot for Wright as a Liberal (and Ben Hood earlier saying he was still a candidate). Genuine shitshow. #saparli #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Farage and Badenoch are absolute clowns: startled by the entirely foreseeable series of events they failed to foresee. A demonstration of their total lack of judgement.
