Feeble defence from ABC confirms abject failure to report Labor accurately (independentaustralia.net)

Australia’s economy has gone from close to the worst-managed in the OECD, according to data from the IMF, the UBS, the World Bank, the OECD, Trading Economics and elsewhere, to near the top today.

The ABC’s unawareness of these major shifts is an indictment of its inability to monitor critical data.

But it sounds like, as the Democrats in America, they have trouble bringing attention to their successes?

It's like the media is owned by someone with strong biases who isn't afraid to use his media conglomerate to push his agenda

They’re afraid of cuts the coalition could inflict upon them if they don’t behave

They have long memories and have been the default party of federal government for a while

Nah they forget they’re the left of centre party and are handing a win to libs because of it.

Outlawed vapes
Legalised vapes again but now you need a prescription and can only buy from pharmacies (gotta wring them tax dollars)
Snuck in change to TGA to also outlaw dry herbs vapes and schedule cannabis on the same level as morphine
Have done fuck all about housing or inflation
During a cost of living crisis, Centrelink (welfare) is still unliveable
Focused making NDIS more “financially stable”
Went ahead with a costly referendum that trashed relations with indigenous Australian
The under 16 ban for social media (while I agree with it) was poorly planned, rushed and handed Libs easy sound bites
Worked with the coalition to take over CFMEU (a union) and appoint an administrator. Many members now want to disaffiliate with labour because of it.

Feels like labour is now lib lite, pissing off their own voters as well as lib voters for not doing enough.

Labor haven't been left wing for decades, but they are a vaguely competent liberal party as opposed to the vastly incompetent conservative coalition.

"Why do none of these capitalist businesses want to talk about how less rampant capitalism is better for the common man?"
