Why is ABC radio platforming One Nation's racist Colleen Harkin "in a wide-ranging interview that also touched on climate change and rescinding the landmark Treaty" Why is the national broadcaster @news.abc.net.au giving PHON space to ventilate their shitty views then also writing it up❓

The real low point in Kevin Gallagher's speech earlier this week was when he claimed the gas industry receives no government subsidies. Between direct grants - $15m - and free credits - $85m - Santos has received $100m worth of federal subsidies for its Moomba CCS project. I guess he forgot those.

"And then I punched him in the head when he was down," he continues.
"I saw that," a female colleague responds, laughing.
