Anthony Albanese - How long? -3-

Interesting that Murdoch is very supportive of the social media ban yet Skynews.com.au has gone down an end of freedom of speech and Labor indoctrination of kids angle.

Amusingly when I commented on this hysterical piece below saying not all parents would agree with the authors contention, my post got deleted. I guess freedom of speech only works in specific circumstances

Yep.

Like Labor’s Mick Young who was forced to step down from the Hawke ministry in 1984 when he neglected to declare at Customs a large stuffed Paddington Bear toy that was in his wife's suitcase.

The bar for what is regarded as unacceptable behaviour for a Govt Minister is a lot higher these days.

And don’t think that Wells is the only MP out there using the rules to her advantage. Not by a long shot.

Not according to Rita Panahi who says this is solely a Labor issue

Not even pretending to be impartial with that headline.

And not going to reward their 'journalism' with a click.

Someone should put a list of all the books Trump's banning in the US as suggested reading for the under 16s as a social media replacement.

No quicker way for a political commentator to undermine their integrity than by leading with oversimplified binaries like 'the Left' in the headline.

I don't buy into the whole Murdoch controls the media , James Bond plot, conspiracy.
I believe that Murdoch lets the management of Sky do what they will , with one , proviso, Make Money.

Having perused the last few pages, I'm taking the following as read:

• economy flights for everyone, regardless of distance, with non-refundable, non-changable times because things never happen to change plans
• all politicians in a new Canberra YMCA style dormitory when parliament is sitting
• ubers for all in all circumstances, unless it is less than 10km trip, then MPs can just walk it
• home made soup in thermos' for all meals (I've put this in because I know a former minister who once brought home made soup in a thermos to a cabinet committee meeting)
• Ibis 2 star rooms for all travel away from home
• no loyalty programs under any circumstances

Good luck everyone.

Give them all campervans and a fuel card until they solve the housing crisis.

Murdoch campaigned hard against META last year when they wouldn't pay up for media content. One suspects their support for the ban is linked to that
Think Murdoch sold off Sky last year though could be mistaken

The easiest way would be the polies having same travel arrangements as SES public service

I'm asking this out of genuine ignorance: who approves the travel of a departmental secretary?

I think its Minister of Finance above a certain $ amount and if its international

Not sure " censoring pr0n on google images even though there's already a filter one can used called safe-search " is the vote-winner with single men aged 18-100 that Albo thinks it is.

There's a reason...

A little off topic, but I agree to a certain point. I think it's somewhere in between.

Media moguls ideology is revenue, like everyone else, so they hyperbolize to rile up the populace who like flies to a shit farm can't resist. Leading everyone to believe, insert whatever topic, is the 'norm'

On face value sky should be in debt and non existent, given how supposedly unpopular they should be, yet there are many examples of posters who would be ideologically opposed to 'sky' that link clips and watch it.

Can't resist grinding that axe, same with left leaning media, like I dunno Crikey or Betoota advocate, I haven't read much of their stuff but immediately it is critical of conservative and right wing ideology. This is a ploy to piss of the 'righties' for the purpose of revenue not for the purpose of pissing off the righties, maybe the journos of both sky or Crikey do have ideological tendencies but the owners probably don't or not to the same degree.

I'm more than confident that on face value, Murdoch is at the very least a conservative but not trying to 'indoctrinate' the world through inflammatory headlines. Just wants to create revenue, what better way than piss off the 'lefties'?

While people are talking about social media and money off their HECS debts they aren't talking about how they can't afford housing.

That's the point.

Everyone's talking about housing. Governments can tackle more than one issue at a time. In fact, it's kinda necessary.

I'm reminded of during the GEC, the heads of Ford, Chrysler , and General Motors all went to Washington, to appear before congress , to....essentially beg for Government hand outs.

The congressman in charge criticized them strongly for being out of touch. All of them had flown into Washington in their private corporate jets.

The next time....all of them drove to Washington ( From Detroit i assume ) , in cars.
Once again they were criticized by the congressman for being out of touch. Just take a normal airline flight like normal people.

Same applies to our politicians. Just don't do stupid opulent stuff.
If you're entertaining a foreign head of state, $200 bucks per head for dinner is probably fine.
If you are doing a study of the Hawaiian sewerage infrastructure, with your wife and family in tow, you better tone it down a bit.

As for loyalty programs , they should be compulsory...and provide benefits back to the government.

Leadership requires sacrifice. Doing something that doesn't benefit you but benefit others.

A tent.

Looks more like they are all taking the opportunity to talk about 20% of HECS and protecting children on social media.

Unless you can find let's say five different politicians taking time out from that to discuss housing? I'd very much like to see that.

Murdoch still owns a lot of other media outlets that the socials farm for free content. He is acting in pure self interest if he supports anything that hurts META etc.
