Sisters Are Doin' It for Themselves
Says Parnell
"Women are being lied to. Worse, the liars are often other women. Today is International Women’s Day. I no longer participate. The annual event perpetuates a Big Lie that women are in all respects the equal of men. This is nonsense."

"In September, Prince Harry's Archewell Foundation announced it would donate $500,000 (£370,000) to projects - including the WHO - to help develop prosthetic limbs and provide other support for children from Gaza and Ukraine."
The thing is, Danica, they "travelled to Amman at the invitation of Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization (WHO)."
Why did WHO invite them - 👇They are expected to see initiatives they have helped fund .......
Murdoch media's "half-wit" war on Megan and Harry continues with this diatribe from Sky News Danica De Giorgio...
"‘Halfwits’: Meghan and Harry embarked on ‘phoney’ tour in the Middle East"
"..“he might not get elected, you don't know.”
"Hanson was asked if it was her “hope” to eventually transfer power to the former deputy prime minister."
"“No, there's no hope whatsoever, I haven't even thought about that,” said Ms Hanson emphatically before noting that when it came to the current Member for New England,..."
I think he's realised he's no longer number 2 top dog in the ON pecking order. Farley just moved into that spot, and Pauline has no plans to move from number 1 - according to Murdoch media
"The event’s sponsor was The Heartland Institute, a conservative think tank that has been at the forefront of spreading climate disinformation for decades, and was also a contributor to Project 2025, the policy blueprint for President Trump’s second administration"
"President Donald Trump at "Champion of Coal" event at the White House on Feb. 11, 2026"
Australia’s Liberal Party has a history of using variations of this concept to claim political legitimacy
Why can't the LNP pitch to ALL AUSTRALIANS🤔🙄
Maybe that's their problem - they keep narrowing the field?
We've had the "Menzies Forgotten People"
We've had the "Howard Battlers"
We've had the "Scomo Quiet Australians"
Dutton went back to Menzies to talk to "the Forgotten People"
Now we've got a NEW slogan "the Lost Australians"
"Chief among them was a *****failure to announce policies *****with enough time for voters to consider them, something he has vowed to rectify."
But, but, you just said the focus "will be on changing its campaigning strategies ****rather than policies****"🤔
Anyone else confused
"Targeted messages to show disillusioned voters the Liberals are a party for all will be the focus of his leadership, Mr Taylor told the NSW Liberal State Council."
"Mr Taylor admitted the party made mistakes leading up to the 2025 election.
"The Liberal Party has fallen behind in reaching younger voters, its new leader concedes but the focus will be on changing its campaigning strategies rather than policies"

"The Abbott government’s refusal to countenance further industry assistance should come as no surprise: in opposition, the Coalition’s firm policy was to cut A$500 million from the ALP government’s support package."
"It has been clear since 1992, when Liberal leader Dr John Hewson announced a zero tariff regime for automotive products, that the Coalition parties saw no future in an Australian car manufacturing industry."
Hastie needs a history lesson regarding his Party's lack of support for the automotive industry..
"But Holden’s departure is nevertheless a deliberate public policy choice on the part of the Abbott government.
Has anyone seen John Lyons lately on ABC following the analysis he made a week ago that got the Murdoch media's knickers in a knot?? Don't tell me they have silenced him - he's one of the best
"Why is the ABC promoting our enemies’ propaganda?
Chris Kenny"
Sorry ABC but how is this news? Rating were falling, suddenly there's a bust up, both are lawyering up, lots of publicity for the pair as a result, JO comes out to say she hasn't resigned - more publicity - and the media plays along with a clear publicity stunt to retain base/improve ratings.🙄
"It’s for exactly this reason that we’ve seen a recent boom in narrative laundering, a manipulative technique expressly designed to sow confusion and fuel destabilising political agendas."
It's clear to me the likes of ON, Advance, et al , all use these techniques.
And this yesterday - "Frequency and consistency are two enemies of our cognitive processing, particularly when it comes to the murky world of disinformation. Our brains are fallible, and trust and perceived truth are two of the areas in which we are most susceptible."
