just so so dutton that labor exposing the cruelty, inhumanity, corruption, lies, and mental anguish of robo debt is somehow ‘weaponising’ it. he was part of the cabinet that allowed it to happen and flourish. reckon he’d allow it to happen again.

He will not be the Lib leader at the next election

Yeah he and the rest of the Libs really don’t have a leg to stand on and the only concern is that enough of the electorate continue to grasp this fact.

Thats denying the reality that it is Albo's to lose:

'Just 13 per cent of voters think Anthony Albanese is doing enough to address cost-of-living pressures and only a quarter believe the economy is being managed well, according to secret industry polling.
...... a survey of more than 3000 people conducted by CT Group showing national security is the only issue a majority of Australians believe is being well handled by the Albanese government, with a net approval rating of 25 per cent.

The government’s worst numbers were on addressing the housing shortage, with a net disapproval rating of minus 58 per cent following a relentless campaign on the issue by the Greens.

The government also registered net negative ratings on the voice (-7 points), health (-10 points), immigration (-11 points) and regional healthcare (-25 points).'

Albo's got plenty of credits in the bank, but there is plenty of pain before the next poll.

So good for the Australian Newspaper to seek independent polling assessments to inform its subscribers. And so good for one of their most loyal subscribers to bring it to our attention from beyond the Murdoch paywall....

From The Saturday Paper 10JUN2023

Editorial​

Peta and the wolves​


To Peta Credlin, there is little that separates Winston Churchill and Ben Roberts-Smith. Both made difficult decisions and lived with their consequences. To her, Roberts-Smith is a brave and rugged man, a soldier’s soldier, “a hero, even if very possibly a flawed one, whose excesses, if any, are understandable in the cauldron of war”.

Credlin, a former chief of staff to Tony Abbott, writes this in the newspaper Roberts-Smith used to intimidate witnesses. The soldier had a private investigator place a false story in The Australian about one of the people testifying against him. He had the same private investigator send threatening letters to another witness. Credlin does not mention this.

Instead, she writes: “And even if he were to be convicted of a war crime, to what extent, if any, should that detract from his undoubted heroics in winning the ultimate military accolade?” She writes: “And if mistakes were made, at least some of the fault lies with us too; and with the senior commanders, now tut-tutting about the excesses of military culture.”

Credlin repeats the central argument of Roberts-Smith’s defence: that the men complaining about his conduct are jealous of his courage. She argues that a criminal court might find differently to a civil one. She pretends that the evidence was of heated decisions rather than calculated, ritualistic killing. “I’m not sure that any of us,” she writes, “who have never been exposed to deadly combat, can fully grasp just how psychologically fraught and morally deadening this could be.”

Credlin likens the treatment of Roberts-Smith to the treatment of George Pell and Bruce Lehrmann. She sees them as victims of moral indignation. It is no coincidence that The Australian has been a champion of all three men. The paper is a paranoid defender of privilege. It views all events through the lens of identity.

Not even war crimes can offend its fixed positions. The paper is untroubled by a court finding it true that Ben Roberts-Smith kicked an elderly shepherd off a cliff and then had him shot. It is untroubled by evidence he ordered another man be killed while he was being questioned. It doesn’t care that he machine-gunned a man to death and then took his prosthetic leg as a novelty drinking vessel.

The Australian pretends it is taking a nuanced position, that it has wrestled with complexity and is publishing what others won’t. This is nonsense. Its coverage of Ben Roberts-Smith is identical to its coverage of climate change. It is contrarian to the point of incoherence. It mistakes its agenda for doubt and treats this error as a virtue.

Ben Roberts-Smith is not the victim of what Credlin calls “the obloquy we seem so ready to confer on the pariah du jour”. He is the victim of nothing more than his own actions, actions that killed innocent men, that diminished this country and the soldiers who serve it. On the evidence that has been heard, he is a vain and dangerous man whose capacity for violence thrills and titillates his supporters, whose hubris has finally caught up with him.

This really is pretty shameless from Credlin and her papers.

They glorify war (which most people detest) and then when soldiers break the rules, she says that it's all of our fault for glorifying war.

The hypocrisy at their core is pretty much the only quality easily identified in conservatives.

All I did was what you constantly choose not to do in your cut and paste posts - provided both the publisher and the source of the information so that it can be assessed in context for, inter alia, accuracy and motivation.

An essential component of intelligent and informed critical thinking. aka - shining a light on the shadows.

I recommend it to you.

How much do you pay per month for that stuff?
$0 currently, did last year, will next year.
The Aus is a habit I picked up when I left home at 21 & wanted to get the local (Perth) footy results.
In those days the SMH was a broadsheet but the Melbourne version was a self proclaimed quality broadsheet. Same paper, same ink.
