It was deplorable. The way he attacked the interviewer and the ABC was ridiculous.
No way, can't have a woman as the leader of the Liberal party, it will probably be Angus Taylor
yes it was ugly. All the questions were reasonable and the same level of scrutiny Labor cops, but its all trumped-up lefty guff according to Dutton. Pathetic on the one hand, weak as *smile*, but on the other just playing to his choir. I don't think it would have mattered what the content or the tone of the questions were, Dutton was ready with his ABC attack. Ferguson handled it as well as anyone could have, she earned her dough thats for sure.
this was obvious when Albo announced the changes at the National Press Club, all the journalists lined up to try to catch him out on the 'broken promise' instead of actually asking about the impacts of the changes to the electorateGood piece on Crikey about the ALP Stage 3 changes and how the media are completely out of step with the electorate.
How the press corps got caught in the tax cuts wedge
Turns out voters like a government that adapts and adjusts. Someone needs to tell the press gallery.www.crikey.com.au

Sadly I think you are right. But at some point they must realise that they are losing their credibility with their target market (exc News Limited from this statement) and need to rethink their reporting to get the viewers back.
The electorate was so cynical about election promises they didn't believe anything anymore. The "Juliar" campaign by Abbott, the campaign against " there will be no cuts to the health, education and the ABC" and so on, has created an over reaction to election promises that it is now ridiculous.
He is a walking disaster but he is still teflon Barnaby.
Gotta admit that at times I've been known to be creeping down the road on my hands n knees late at night or hiding under a tree fairly *smile* faced. But I might also have been in my teens or early twenties n not being paid quarter of a mill or better a year to help run the country. Crank it up Barnaby's Juiced, live life to the fullest, or at least as full as you can get.
So you're now blaming either Joe Public or the meedjia for expecting politicians to be held responsible for the promises / lies they make to suck people into voting for them to enable them to run the country. FMD Sinnerman that's a massive cop out.
That’s not what I said.
*smile*. The Pollies you mentioned and the one you insinuated, Elbowsnkneesy had plenty of knowledge and information beforehand to modify / make alternative comments before they made their commitments. Elbows simply continued to lie over and over again to the public, regardless of whether his changes of policy would be regarded as a positive or a negative by the voters. Or whether circumstances changed that forced the " broken promises " in regard to his whizz bang electricity price cut, his super changes or the tax cuts. He and his treasurer lied, lied and lied again and again to the voters. Firstly to get into power and once in power nothing else matters other than to make into law what you think is your entitlement. There is such a thing as bringing the mob along for the ride, let them know what you are doing and why you are doing it and strangely enough. If you are doing it right the mob will carry you along forever simply because it's right n it works for most everyone. Keep them in the dark n feed em on *smile* n you usually grow mushrooms that are probably not the magic ones.
