Comrade Ismiseski, welcome back, how was your pilgrimage to 'Lenin's Mausoleum' in Moscow. Of course I am referring to your parties new Bolshevism, ie giving preferences to the communist Labor Party in the recent Eden-Monaro by-election. Have the Shooters and Hooters embraced a new form of glasnost, Will I have to refer to your party as the Commo Shooters and Hooters from now on?

Paul,

I believe they also preferenced the Greens, they don't like the Coalition so any chance to put the boot in is taken.

Has Prince Randy Andy popped over to America yet to have a chat with prosecutors about his involvement in the Epstein matter. Me thinks not, claiming royal privilege of some sorts so it seems.

Individual,
There are usually plenty of grubs and slimy creatures in lakes as well.

> The fact that left whingers regard all media organisations that don't share their bias as fascist...
That's not a fact, that's a delusion of the right whingers!

> However, it is also common knowledge that the majority of reporters are left whinge.
The majority of reporters have a strong interest in the truth. Right whingers perceive that as bias against them!

Now, AIUI the title of this thread is wrong; it's not Labor's conspiracy theory at all – they never endorsed it. And like all credible conspiracy theories, the point was that (based on the limited evidence they had)) many people, regardless of their political beliefs, regarded it as more likely than not to be true. The allegation that Labor used it for a political purpose appears to be YOUR conspiracy theory!

Hasbeen,
I doubly apologise: for addressing to you a question that I should have addressed to Shadow, and for having repeated that mistake despite previously declaring I'd be more careful in future.

Paul, you don't need royal privilege to not pop over to America.

Aidan,

That journalists are unbiased is a delusion of the left whingers:

"Conducted between May 2012 and March this year, the University of the Sunshine Coast's representative survey of 605 journalists around Australia found that more than half (51.0%) describe themselves as holding left-of-centre political views, compared with only 12.9% who consider themselves right-of-centre."

"However, 41.2% of the 34 ABC journalists who declared a voting intention said they would vote for the Greens, followed by 32.4% for Labor and 14.7% for the Coalition.

In contrast, 46.5% of 86 News Limited journalists who answered this question said they would vote for Labor, 26.7% for the Coalition, and only 19.8% for the Greens. As well as The Australian, the News stable includes some of the country’s best-selling tabloids such as the Herald Sun, Daily Telegraph, Courier-Mail, Northern Territory News and the Adelaide Advertiser, and some suburban newspapers.

Among the 86 Fairfax Media journalists who responded, Labor was by far the most popular party at 54.7% support, followed by the Coalition and the Greens, both on 19.8%. The Fairfax journalists came from outlets including the Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, The Canberra Times, a range of regional and suburban newspapers, and metropolitan radio stations."
