Mr.MojoRisn

Spare me the fake “shocked” routine. Channel 7 Spotlight nailed the dirty underbelly of Labor’s renewables obsession — child slave labor in Congo cobalt mines, toxic nickel devastation in Indonesia, and the human cost your “clean green dream” conveniently ignores. ABC Media Watch’s nitpicking hit piece? Classic taxpayer-funded bias from the national broadcaster that’s been pushing government propaganda for years, whitewashing Labor’s reckless renewables push while real Aussies cop skyrocketing power bills and blackouts from unreliable wind and solar. Labor under Albanese has rammed through massive subsidies and coal closures to hit their fantasy targets, yet the grid’s teetering and prices are among the world’s highest. Facts over feelings, mate — your “misinformation” call is just ABC protecting their mates in the Labor government. Channel 7 told the truth you don’t want to hear.

Shocked!! Shocked I tells ya! Channel 7 news is a fucking joke. Outrage and misinformation with ad breaks. I use to think Sky News was our Fox News here in Oz but I'm starting to think it's actually 7. 🤔

“Stronger, fairer economy”? Spare us the spin, Albo. You’ve torched energy prices, supercharged cost-of-living hell, and turned “working for every Australian” into a sick joke while families skip meals and power bills eat wages. This isn’t building — it’s wrecking ball demolition dressed up as progress. Delusional fraud. Resign.

We're building an economy that's stronger, fairer and that works for every Australian.

Pathetic deflection, Beetle-brain. Scomo’s funding? Irrelevant whataboutism. Labor shovels $1.1 billion of your tax dollars into ABC every year while ramming through the exact 82% renewables fantasy Spotlight just torched. Media Watch didn’t “agree on worker abuse”—it ran interference for it. Spotlight exposed the global nightmare your cult created: tens of thousands of child slaves in DRC cobalt pits and Indonesia’s coal-belching nickel plants exploding to feed EV batteries. Your “omissions” whine is just taxpayer-funded cover-up for the mining hellscape net-zero actually demands. You’re not defending journalism. You’re the useful idiot shilling for state propaganda. Spotlight dropped truth bombs. You’re still sweeping up the shrapnel. Sad.

@Totally4yeah @ABCmediawatch Scomo gave ABC billions, even after cuts, as did every other Liberal government. Again you miss the point. Media Watch critiqued the omissions and falsehoods in the story, whilst agreeing with the base claim of abuse of workers. x.com/i/grok/share/2…

A renewable energy exposé by Seven’s flagship investigation program Spotlight found to have omitted key facts. #MediaWatch

Open mind? Try eyes wide shut, mate. ABC’s been caught red-handed pushing government propaganda for years—video-editing scandals, relentless anti-Israel bias, record bias complaints, and impartiality breaches even their own ombudsman fields. Why trust these taxpayer-funded hacks? Sounds like only a Labor puppet would lap up their smug hit job while ignoring the real nightmare Spotlight exposed. Amnesty International, US Dept of Labor, and every serious investigation confirm it: thousands of kids (some as young as 7) slave in DRC artisanal cobalt mines—70%+ of global supply—for EV batteries and “green” tech. Global battery demand is exploding under net-zero fantasies. Your “key facts omitted” cop-out is pathetic deflection from the human and environmental disaster renewables are fueling. Spotlight didn’t lie. ABC’s Media Watch did—again. Deceitful journalism? Look in the mirror.

@Totally4yeah @ABCmediawatch I watched the show with an open mind, but when you leave out key facts or make blatantly false claims, you have no credibility. This isn’t a fossil fuels vs renewables debate. This was deceitful journalism.

you clearly have zero clue and never do any research, little Labor puppet. South Australia — Australia’s renewable “hero” with the highest wind/solar penetration — still has some of the world’s highest power prices and regular blackouts precisely because of the intermittents, subsidies, and gas peakers Labor worships. Same disaster playbook in California. It’s not “Coalition privatisation” or “10 years of inaction” — it’s your net-zero cult that wrecked reliability and jacked up bills. Try facts next time instead of green cope. #auspol

@Totally4yeah @Tank9999 No the coalitions obsession with privatisation and lack of action for 10 years has given you high power prices.

#auspol Angus #Taylor just admitted that if he were ever elected He would stop the Transition to Renewable Energy and recreate the Fossil Fuel Infrastructure Australia has depended on since the 1920s The #COALition are no longer denying they are completely OWNED by Fossil Fuel

“Classic pot-kettle hypocrisy, Jim. You and Albo swore in 2022: negative gearing and the CGT discount were ‘off the table’ – hands off hard-working Aussies’ investments. Fast-forward four years of Labor failure: $1 trillion in debt from your reckless overspending, inflation still hammering families, rents up 22%, energy bills up 38%, food up 16%, and the worst cost-of-living crisis in a generation. Now you’re scrambling to dilute the CGT discount and cap negative gearing ahead of the May budget just to plug the holes you blew in the budget. Attacking Tim Wilson for a slip-up while you break promises and slug everyday property investors to fund your mess? Mate, own your failures first.“

Another day another clanger from Tim Wilson whose horror start continues. For this shadow treasurer it’s just one humiliation after another. Everyone gets a number wrong from time to time but Tim Wilson seems incapable of getting anything right.

“Delivered 33 endo clinics while breaking the promises that actually matter to every Australian, Albo? $275 cheaper power bills? Bills have skyrocketed instead – up hundreds, even $1,700+ for households. Stage 3 tax cuts you swore were “untouched”? Broken and rewritten. Super you promised was safe? Changed. Real wages growing? Stalled while cost of living crushes families. RMIT/ABC trackers confirm multiple broken or stalled pledges out of dozens tracked – including the big ones you hammered pre-2022. This isn’t “delivery”. It’s spin while the country pays the price. Pain clinics won’t fix the pelvic pain your broken word is causing the nation.“

We've delivered our promise to open 33 endo and pelvic pain clinics.

Lol, your post is devoid of facts and data but your feelings know you are right, classic Labor puppet lies and misinformation, but very comical and telling of your bias. ABC is bankrolled to the tune of $1.1 billion+ every year by the federal Labor government that literally controls its budget and sets its triennial funding. Same Labor ramming through the 82% renewables-by-2030 fantasy that Spotlight actually exposed: DRC’s 70%+ of global cobalt mined by tens of thousands of child labourers, Indonesia’s coal-fired nickel plants exploding for EV batteries. Media Watch’s nitpick doesn’t erase global reality—it just proves the state-funded deflection. ABC has been repeatedly caught breaching accuracy and impartiality (ACMA rulings on Four Corners, undisclosed Labor staffers on air, journalist voting patterns 73%+ Labor/Greens). It’s not “independent”—it’s Labor’s taxpayer-funded propaganda arm. Spotlight showed the nightmare your cult created. You just enabled the cover-up. Pathetic.

@Totally4yeah @ABCmediawatch lol ABC is state funded by Liberal governments too. If Spotlight showed all the facts, there wouldn't have been a Media Watch segment about it.

Taxpayer-funded ABC Media Watch—bankrolled by the federal Labor government that’s ramming through its own 82% renewables-by-2030 target and net-zero agenda—calls Spotlight “fossil fuel propaganda” for exposing the global reality. Spotlight highlighted DRC’s 70%+ of world cobalt (tens of thousands of child artisanal miners) and Indonesia’s coal-fired nickel processing, both exploding because of EV battery demand your renewables cult created. Media Watch’s Australia-centric nitpick doesn’t erase that. Same government that funds ABC with over $1.1 billion in your tax dollars every year now uses it to deflect and protect its failing fantasy. That’s not media analysis—it’s state propaganda paid for by the people it’s screwing.

@Totally4yeah @ABCmediawatch The spotlight fossil fuel propaganda was Australia centric. Hence the critique is focussed on the same. Media Watch isn't a documentary show, it calls out mistakes and falsehoods in media. They never deny the harms of this mining and even call it out in the clip.

Oh please. Spotlight aired the actual truths your renewables cult buries: DRC supplies ~70-74% of global cobalt with tens of thousands of kids in artisanal mines digging it out, while EV batteries alone drove 76% of cobalt demand in 2024 and Indonesia’s nickel processing runs on captive coal plants spewing emissions. Media Watch’s “key facts” nitpick (Aussie grid batteries going LFP?) is pathetic deflection—irrelevant to the exploding global mining disaster your net-zero fantasy demands. That’s not journalism, that’s taxpayer-funded propaganda for the wind-solar cult. Spotlight exposed the nightmare. You enabled it.

@Totally4yeah @ABCmediawatch They aired truths whilst deliberately omitting key facts, which is what the segment was calling out. That's called propaganda.

“No substitute for Australian news”? Mate, the substitute is already here on X—uncensored, independent voices that legacy media can’t compete with. This isn’t “fair share.” It’s a new government levy forcing Google, Meta, and TikTok to bankroll failing Murdoch/Nine empires and your $1B+ taxpayer-funded ABC/SBS propaganda machine. Australian trust in news is in the gutter (Reuters Institute data consistently shows it around 30-40%). This isn’t saving journalism—it’s corporate welfare for gatekeepers who lost the audience because they peddled bias over facts. Real stories don’t need your mandates. Kill the narrative control.

Right now, big tech companies can benefit from Australian journalism without paying their fair share. We’re taking the next steps to make sure platforms contribute to Australian news. Because there's no substitute for Australian news and stories told by Australian journalists.

This is what your budget’s all about, Albo: four years of broken promises, record pain, and now more tax grabs dressed up as “fairness.” You promised no changes to negative gearing or the CGT discount — twice. Now you’re smashing both to hit property and share investors. Classic. You swore power bills would be $275 cheaper by 2025. Instead, electricity prices have surged over 30% and median household bills are hundreds of dollars higher — in some states over $1,200 more. Real wages fell for years under your watch, living costs keep climbing for every household type, and you’re about to rack up Australia’s first $1 trillion debt. Housing is unaffordable, migration is out of control, and “resilience” is just code for “sorry about the mess, here’s more tax.” This isn’t fairness or opportunity. It’s four years of failure, capped with a betrayal of your own word. Australians have had enough.

This is what our Budget is all about.

@Tank9999 Everyone except Labor puppets agrees!

@Mon4Kooyong Never trust lying parasites like @Mon4Kooyong, happily pushing lies n misinformation about tax changes but won’t mention labor’s record immigration which is the main cause of the housing crisis! Just a typical lying heartless parasite on Australia @Mon4Kooyong

The Liberals seems stuck in a 1970s nostalgia loop. Making homes more affordable for young people is not an assault on aspiration.

@Mon4Kooyong Your 1970s nostalgia smear is peak gaslighting. The government’s own housing data shows we’re on track for a massive shortfall — hundreds of thousands of homes short of target right through to 2030. Supply is still lagging badly. Yet Labor keeps flooding the country with record immigration levels — half a million net arrivals in a single recent year, NOM still running red-hot at over 300k. That demand surge is exactly why young Australians are being locked out of the market. Not “aspiration.” Not negative gearing. Your big “fix”? Messing with negative gearing and the CGT discount. Economists and industry modelling have repeatedly warned this will reduce new housing supply, cut rental stock, drive rents higher, and deliver basically zero help for first-home buyers. Stop lying to young people. Your tax-tweak fantasy ignores the actual data and the real driver of the crisis. It’s not compassion — it’s misinformation on steroids. Address the immigration and supply reality or get out of the way.

@AlboMP x.com/nascentjude/st… Never trust a known lying failure!

OK, genius — it was Biden who mandated this exact biometric grab in 2022 for every Visa Waiver country, including Australia, as a condition to keep visa-free entry. Albo’s Labor mob is the one quietly negotiating the handover right now with zero public debate or consent. But sure, let’s all pretend Trump invented it so you can keep screeching ‘orange man bad’ while your own side sells Aussie privacy down the river. Where’s the honesty? Where’s the transparency? Take it up with Biden and Albo instead of peddling Crikey’s pathetic propaganda. Pathetic.“

@Totally4yeah @QuentinDempster @crikey_news OK. How does that make it a better idea now? No-one wants the US or Palantir having Australian biometric data. No matter what part of the duopoly you follow.

FOI confirms Donald Trump's grab of Australians' biometric data is even bigger than feared via @crikey_news crikey.com.au/2026/04/27/don…
