Televised debates are so ‘american’ and do not make or break an electoral campaign. That these had an impact, perhaps, maybe, but would that impact affect outcomes? Overall I think not, maybe in very marginal seats depending on the electorate demographics.

What caught my attention in this Conversation article was the ‘reach’ of the four television channel, and particularly that of SkyNews. Given all of the caveats the author explores in the piece these figures should be taken with a grain of salt and care exercised in the analysis. But, with these caveats and warning applicable to all the channels in the table equally, one can discern that SKyNews has had a very small reach compared to the others. This warms my heart because it points to the eventual demise of the #Murdoch media empire and its diminishing influence in Australian politics.

It is unbelievable that people in rural areas continue to support the #National Party, despite the party always supports the big mining companies at the expense of farmers. The National shows little regard for farmland and the environmental health essential for farming. :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll:

Since #murdoch's #Skynews already said #Dutton's defeat was due to #LNP not using the Big Gun Barnaby Joyce during the campaign, a leadership #spill is unavoidable.

"...one of the detectives had alleged they believed there was 'significant evidence' that News Group Newspapers (NGN) deleted millions of emails to pervert the course of justice.
In the article, Brown states that the former officers told him that if they had been aware of the background to the email deletions, they would have pushed for further action."

@PekkaKallioniemi Re: "Is there a way out of trumpism?"

My personal #1 necessity would be to do *absolutely everything* to pierce the *trump propaganda bubble* and force feed that horde facts about the "maga elite" and their dysfunction, grifting, 'ungodliness', the billionaires' dystopian agenda...

Either the maga bubble built on insanity and lies is demolished, or United States is.

As long as that large segment of population remains captive this nightmare will continue.

The onus is on us all (especially for many of us in the #fediverse) to search for the truth during #AusElection25 and call out the lies, gaslighting and biased propaganda. We owe it to ourselves to know whom and what we will be voting for. The only way lowly peeps like me can do this is by supporting those truth-tellers with a heavier clout than I and #IndependentJournalism is where we mostly find out much of the truth behind our politician’s machinations. I cannot support all independent news platforms, just a couple. But if everyone of us supported just one independent news outlet (like we support our Masto Instances I hope…), the likes of #Murdoch and #Stokes would be that much less successful in brain washing the Austalian electorate by giving ‘air’ to political liars.
