@john_macgowan Get her a spot on SOC…

Abbie Chatfield turning on the legacy media is just step one on my plan to radicalize her. This is my magnum opus. It will make the time I stole Drew Pavlov’s wallet look like a harmless jape.

@ThreetothePower Tony Burka strikes me as someone who doesn’t even bother to open his daily ASIO briefs at this point. Just lets the ABC tell him who he should let in and out of the country. Absolute clown.

Lmao we have Australian idol for permanent residency.

@NickFeik @OMGTheMess Part Time Paul Brereton should go, his position is completely untenable

Wow. NACC deputy commissioner Nicole Rose has resigned. nacc.gov.au/news-and-media…

@ThreetothePower @john_macgowan She’s already tried something like this with a left wing liberal women group which flopped badly. These tiny micro party/groups are seriously just a grift

Charlotte Mortlock is recreating Tealism from first principles.

@EBlackwell6280 @john_macgowan I can’t see her putting up with him for much longer. Gina has smart, even former political operatives around her and not many think highly of Ashby. Ashby is like the male version of Peta Credlin. If Abbott just listened and got rid of her he would have doubled his time as PM.

@brucelehr95 @john_macgowan What about the Gina factor? Do you think she's going to put up with Ashby for long?

Most of the commentary on One Nation's under performance in Nepean is about demographics and the broader ideological mood, but the real story here is that ONP's campaigns are not very good, and this needs to change. If you were to rank all election campaigns on a spectrum of advanced technological complexity, where the most advanced is a GOP/DEM presidential and the least is a Nigerian campaign where the candidate stands on the back of a Hilux dressed as Spider Man, One Nation sits somewhere far south of the middle, think Italian local government election. Their collateral was messy, their design principles are non existent, they were slow to react to attacks, where they reacted at all, they relied on legacy campaign methodologies and printed content. They had a lot of warm bodies but nothing salient for them to say beyond vague grievances. It was like a major party campaign from the early 2000s with half the energy. One Nation has significant strategic advantages that they never leaned in to. Try and remember a single thing their candidate said in the whole campaign. A party with a reputation for frank speaking and controversy courted none of it. Strategically, it seemed like ONP was trying to prove a point that they could run a "serious" "professional" campaign, and this was the wrong strategy. If voters want serious and professional they'll vote Lib/Lab - they want chaos, they want to punitively punish the major parties, they want rogue outbursts and drama. The other advantage is having never been in Government, there's no practical limitation to policy output, there's no legacy of failure to debate - they could conceivably say anything. Build a new hospital. Build two. Cut a tax. Tax someone you don't like. The only limit is the number of zeros you can arbitrarily shave off another budget line item. "We're going to build three hospitals by cutting all Vic Gov funding to Pride Month" done, click send. These are fundamentally, tactical problems that are actually very easy to resolve. There's a reason why the major parties call their rapid reaction content teams "tactics units" and not "strategy" units. Because a good tactics team can win a campaign with a bad strategy. The issue stems from the fact that ONP's talent pool is either too young to have worked at the tip of the campaigning spear previously or so old the last time they were on the tools in a major campaign, none of the modern methodologies even existed. With two years to go until the most important election in Australian history, everyone with a shred of influence over One Nation administratively has to be pushing this message. My advice - sell the dinky plane, buy two tickets to Washington and start meeting firms. There aren't any in Australia that will take the job (yet). Spend 12 months building real infrastructure so you don't have the baggage of seppos lurking around closer to polling day. Start spending money on data instead of cartoons. Renovate the entire party aesthetic, and start coming up with a 100 policies in 100 days document. I strongly suspect that if the performance issues aren't resolved, the growing Australian radical/populist right vote will end up dispersing away from ONP to the fringes or back to the LNP. And that will be a disaster.

@MelissaVla40400 A brilliant description! Thank Turncoat Turnbull for starting that with the horrendous 2016 election campaign…

The main fault of the Liberal Party is that they're like the gentleman cricket player who expects everyone to play by the rules and have sherry and cucumber sandwiches in the pavilion afterwards. Politics doesn't work like that.

@daveprncepopvch @themercurycomau The Mercury is just fish and chip wrapper these days…

Is @themercurycomau a newspaper or a mouthpiece for gang-linked lawyers who allegedly trade legal services for meth? Because that’s exactly who’s behind this latest hit piece. If that’s the level of 'integrity' their sources have, it’s no wonder they’re trying to turn a 20-minute bathroom break into a front-page scandal. They are weaponizing DV laws against housemates while rubbing shoulders with the worst elements of the underworld. Total disgrace. ​Applying family violence laws to housemates is a legislative joke, but using alledged drug-linked 'sources' to push that narrative is a new low for Hobart media. #TasmanianMedia #Corruption #TheMercury

@daveprncepopvch 🍷 look forward to it, always entertaining!

@brucelehr95 The 'failing' part is the understatement of the century. Glad to see you're still stirring the pot for all the right reasons! See you for wines later today my friend!

I am honestly appalled by the level of unethicalism passing for "journalism" these days. This post I just saw regarding myself, Rob Borbidge and the National Party is a textbook case of how to smear a reputation without a single shred of evidence or knowing the full story. It’s almost as bad as the sensationalist, agenda-driven reporting we’ve seen from the likes of Clare Sibthorpe. When "journalists" stop being observers and start being activists or story-spinners, the public loses. We deserve reporting based on accountability and evidence, not speculative fan-fiction about political "trends." If you don't have the receipts, don't write the story. #JournalismEthics #MediaCritique #Politics #Accountability #AustraliaPolitics

@hunterianbean @RealMarkLatham 🤣 flattered you think I have a ‘PR person’ and live rent free in your head.

@brucelehr95 @RealMarkLatham It’s extremely fitting to see you here. Your poor PR person.,

THE NCAT LADIES As expected, today’s NCAT ruling in the Greenwich matter is a woke, leftwing political judgement wrong at law and riddled with factual errors. It will be appealed with my lawyers now preparing the relevant appeal material for lodgement. Let’s be clear. One of the two Tribunal members is a prominent transgender activist who was asked to recuse herself but failed to do so. She’s on the public record saying that cutting off a male’s penis (to become a girl) is no different to cutting off the 6th finger of a newborn baby ‼️ I kid you not. She’s straight from the Greenwich School of Alphabet Politics and naturally, has been hostile to me. The appeal will also focus on the many errors in today’s ruling, including: Factual mistakes; Denial of procedural fairness; Misunderstanding of the parliamentary privilege issue; Legal misinterpretations; Misconstruing of transcript material; A bizarre definition of the parliamentary workplace (where I had resigned as an MP); A jaundiced costs ruling in what is supposed to be a no-cost jurisdiction; The absurd finding that Alex ‘Blue Steel’ Greenwich was been damaged, when the evidence shows the opposite is true; and Criticism of me for tweeting during proceedings when a publicly-funded Mad Hatter’s Tea Party was unfolding in front of me, an attempted denial of free speech. NCAT should be embarrassed and ashamed by what has happened in its grossly political and incompetent handling of this matter, at every level. The ruling cannot be allowed to stand.

@LeeRespecter @veryfrenly Maybe Paul ‘part time’ Brereton and his nerds at the National Anti-Corruption Commission could take a look into the NDIS public servants etc…oh wait they are following submarine/james bond conspiracy theories.

Us: “Wow, NDIS fraud seems pretty rampant.” The Age: “You want us to do an in-depth investigation?” Us: “Yes, exactly.” The Age: “Into country and suburban footy clubs cheating the salary cap?” Us: “No, I meant the multi-billion-dollar taxpayer-funded scheme.” The Age: “Got it. In depth investigation into the Mullaloo Meerkats offering Big Daz TAB vouchers and a tank of diesel so they have a shot at the flag next year." Us: “...sure. Start there, I guess.”

If you think Paul ‘part time’ Brereton was sloppy back then with his ‘inquiry’, you should see what he does now with taxpayer dollars as the ‘Part-time Commissioner’ of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. He runs an army of nerds who couldn’t make it as actual police or intelligence officers so they now just trawl social media in a dark room looking for James Bond and submarine conspiracy theories.

Our ruling class is on a crusade against masculinity and our warrior class. This is marxist demoralisation at its worst, and a definite planned undermining of the Australian mythos and ethnos. We are governed by cowardly communists and liberals who have never run a business, done manual labour or fought in any kind of violent altercation, let alone armed combat. They have no opinion on such matters. Australia needs a restoration 🇦🇺

You should see what Paul ‘part-time’ Brereton is getting up to now with taxpayer dollars and tim foil hat conspiracies in his role as Commissioner of the National Anti-Corruption Commission. He runs an army of nerds who couldn’t cut it as actual law enforcement or intelligence officers, so they now just sit in a dark room reading social media posts looking for the next conspiracy.

BREAKING: Australian authorities came close to charging Australian Special Forces soldiers with war crimes simply for firing WARNING SHOTS at Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan. Retired Australian Special Forces Major @HestonRussell revealed to @karlstefanovic that Australian Special Forces soldiers were investigated over their practice of firing warning shots at insurgents - a practice legal under US engagement rules but illegal under Australian law. While working alongside US forces who were authorised to fire warning shots, Australian Special Forces developed an informal understanding that firing near a fleeing insurgent would cause them to stop and allow capture - Australian forces adopted this tactic to reduce lethality because they were otherwise lawfully authorised to kill fleeing insurgents. Russell says that Major General Brereton - the lawyer who led the war crimes investigations into Australian soldiers - told him that his command decision to allow warning shots "had opened every single one'' of the Australian soldiers under his command to being prosecuted for war crimes. Countless Australian soldiers committed suicide under pressure from the Brereton Inquiry.

@john_macgowan That’s close to par with the journalistic ‘skills’ of SLOPPY Nick ‘CASH 4 COMMENT’ McKenzie

This article is deeply misleading. Tristan is trying to trick people into reading it by putting me in the advertisement but in fact, he only mentions me once, in passing. This is false advertising and deceptive conduct. I am demanding Tristan either edit the article to include at least one whole paragraph detailing his and Australia First's numerous deranged conspiracy theories about me, as well as producing at lease one more photoshop including my head (one that features my long and beautiful hair which no Australia First member is able to grow) or else I will brief counsel and issue notices. The John Macgowan brand is the Australian Right's most powerful, well recognised, and many will say, sensual images and should not be used for childish puffery.

@john_macgowan @NickFeik Paul Brereton already been found once by the Independent Inspector to have engaged in serious misconduct over Robodebt, he is being investigated a second time now into his alleged corrupt links to defence companies. The irony slaps you in the face with this guy.

Hey go easy on them, they pulled off a raid on my house, that was like Zero Dark Thirty for ANU nerds, they sent more of those dweebs into my compound than the US sent to Bin Laden's. Sure, it was 2 years ago and nothing has come of it but still a technical achievement if not a legal and strategic one.

250 staff. $65 million per year. Almost three years operating. Over 6000 referrals. Not a single public hearing. Not a single major corruption finding. thepoint.com.au/opinions/26042…

@john_macgowan @NickFeik

Nine/fairfax are the mouthpiece for Hastie. They selectively published my comment about Hastie without approaching me for authenticity or comment, the entirety of which I stand by. Cry baby Hastie doesn’t like freedom of speech, now blocking me and many others that seek to challenge him.

Not a word from Hastie on the issue of how Nine News were tipped off about the arrest, or the saturation media coverage of the arrest that followed because he wants to ensure a "fair trial". #BenRobertsSmith #AndrewHastie

@theage @smh Hey Claire, maybe reach out directly next time like a real journalist and accurately publish my full comment about Hastie, instead of swallowing everything directly from him. FYI, Hastie himself deletes the comments, blocked me and actively restricts and blocks anyone who seeks to challenge him… hardly ‘independent always’ journalism

I really wonder what goes through the average ninefax journoid's head when they hit publish on this stuff. "Yeah lets tell everyone how Ben Roberts-Smith's beautiful girlfriend is also incredibly loyal, that will convince everyone he's guilty."
