How healthy is our democracy? : Comments

By Andris Heks, published 20/5/2022

For example, the Rupert Murdoch media empire owns two-thirds of the country's metropolitan print mastheads and some of Australia's most popular news websites.

The Murdoch media is doing what it can to decide election outcomes as right wing media personalities are active as they can be with their usual hyped BS. Thank heavens this circus will end tomorrow! As for democracy, preference deals (dirty deals done in the dead of night) between parties make it a demockrazey!

I believe we need optional preferencing or just one second preference for the lower house and just three for the senate, this would make all those minor parties redundant, as they should be with their crazy agendas!

Well, when I look at the Labour/Greens energy plans I can only see
that the Murdoch media has it right.
Even so, a win for Labour might be the best option as they will crash
the electrical system a lot quicker than the Liberals will do the same.
In the shorter time frame the Labour/Greens will have wasted less money.

Morrison's problem is that he won the climate election and then metaphorically urinated on his former supporters. Hopefully most of them will vote for the conservative minor parties. Doesn't matter if the Green Independents take seats from North Shore Liberals. They're equally bad for Australia.

Congratulations Graham on your fairness. I'm not sure it is wise, but you do practice what you preach. There is not a single left leaning organisation, blog or media giant that would give a right wing activist 4 pages to spout propaganda BS as you have done with this rabid left activist. His background says it all, & he certainly lives up to his ABC roots, with his total bulldust.

I don't think much of Morrison either, but if Albo wins, we will be a United Nations vassal, with no free will or speach, by the end of 3 years.

God, if there is one, help us.

Dear Hasbeen,

How's it going old cock? Good?

I see you've delivered another of your weekly spays over your wheatbix. What's the story? The gout playing up?

I might need for you to explain what was inaccurate in the article. It seemed all pretty straightforward to me and certainly nothing new.

Much of the assessment of Morrison has come from his own Coalition members. You are going to be calling Barnaby a lefty now.

Look I get you are swanning off to the polling booth to vote for the lying, bullying, bag of wind but there is no need for your sense of guilt to end up with you attacking all and sundry.

How about a Bex and a good lie down.
