LNP leader Angus Taylor has released a new policy targeting MASS MIGRATION based on AUSTRALIAN VALUES (what values?), aimed at stealing the racist vote back from One Nation. Raf Epstein calls it out for what it is. #auspol #Insiders #migration #racism #LNP

The LNP's new President is Tony Abbott. LNP leader Angus Taylor: "We are replacing MASS MIGRATION with skilled migration." Raf Epstein: "Australia first - that's Trumpian language. MASS MIGRATION, that's the hard right of Europe". ✅ #auspol #Insiders #LNP #racism

Josh Frydenberg has a new book out so I'm mentally preparing myself for yet ANOTHER Frydenberg comeback story on #Insiders from David Speers. The ABC's obsession with politics over policy leaves voters in the dark over the things that matter. #auspol #insiders #LNP

Former journalist Hugh Riminton destroys his reputation with one tweet, by promoting two of Australia's leading spreaders of misinformation and racism, Ben Fordham and 2GB. Hugh, tell me how many positive stories 2GB put out about Labor? The answer is ZERO. #auspol #journalism

Why are ex-Murdoch types David Speers and Patricia Karvelas pushing the myth that Government Spending is the major driver of inflation? Because that's the BS The Australian is pushing, and they're too stupid or corrupt to dig deeper. #auspol #information #journalism
