Would Racist Nation be able to call upon our Asian neighbours & friends as PM @albomp.bsky.social when Hanson has demonised them for years.Would Predator Joyce be able to work with China when he preaches war against them to attract votes.Australia needs to think about these idiots.

The real story is not that our #Socceroos squad comes from 15 different cultural & ethnic backgrounds nor that our stars would never have been allowed to come to Australia under One Nation, because Pauline Hanson wants us to withdraw from the Refugee Convention.

Spot on Tony. Am bewildered why #Nationals who represent the bush decided to build railway to Brisbane not #Gladstone which is deep water port & Brisbane port is shallow. They did not even plan to get to port of Brisbane so #InlandRail would have been useless to all rural producers. Absolute farce.

If you are a subscriber to #AAP news go to their website and read the excellent article by Robyn Wuth on the decision by government not to build #InlandRail beyond Parkes. It gives a good picture of the challenge ahead. I reckon we can build it with private capital and quality management.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉 Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace. You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

In a year when we thought we'd seen everything during this #VileKyle campaign, witches, this development is so horrific we’re lost for words. Please read the screenshots after this pic for the details of what we're talking about. We still can't even believe this. #ToYourBrooms
Copy of Herald Sun newspaper article from last Saturday, December 7th:

LISA AHEAD OF THE TIMES

Reports that Coles cut
multi-millions in advertising
from the Kyle & Jackie O show is not technically right.
The supermarket giant did, but they did it a long time ago.
And it was all thanks to much loved marketing guru Lisa Ronson, who was
Kyle and Jackie O (left)
tragically killed in an all-
and Alan Jones.
terrain vehicle accident on a farm near Daylesford late last month.
The marketing executive was hailed as one of the best in the business, putting her spin on some of Australia's biggest most prestigious brands, including Medibank and Coles. Her funeral is being held next week.
During her time at Coles, Ronson ran a critical eye over some of the multimillion advertising deals being done with the Australian supermarket as part of brand safety, awareness and who to align with.
Cuts were made to radio shows, such as with Alan Jones.
The industry was stricken by the news of Ronson's tragic death on November 24, with AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon among those to pay tribute at the AFLW awards.
This week there was buzz after an email was circulated on social media by a Coles customer care staffer, saying advertising with Kyle & Jackie O had been cut recently.
Thanks to Ronson's forward brand thinking and philosophy, it
was already done long before.
In a year when we thought we'd seen and heard everything during this #VileKyle campaign, witches, this new development is so horrific we don't even truly know how to post on it.
Because this appears to be a collaboration or at least some kind of backslapping support going on between companies run by two of the worst people in the world: Rupert Murdoch and Kyle Sandilands.
And yes, we did hesitate to discuss this today, but in view of the fact millions would have already seen the article below on page 12 of The Herald-Sun newspaper this past Saturday, our raising it here now will have no further impact compared to the damage already done.
This is a piece discussing a woman who was tragically killed just a couple of weeks ago in a terrible accident in Victoria. And in the piece, NewsCorp are now deliberately using her death to claim the withdrawal of Coles last week from advertising on Kyle and Jackie's show was a lie on MFW's part since (according to the writer of the piece) Coles withdrew from advertising at this woman's directive long ago.
Well, no, they did not. Coles were heard advertising from the first week we listened to the K & J show back on May 3rd this year, and have been heard multiple times nearly every week since (up till this morning, when they were missing as they said they would be in an email to us last week). They thus had multiple ads played almost every week during the 31 weeks which have elapsed since we first started listening to the show.
Since Lisa left her job as CMO for Coles to work at Medibank sometime in 2023 (according to our internet searches), she couldn't possibly have had an impact on stopping Coles from advertising on the K & J show. She wasn't even with the company when our campaign began, and since Coles have been relentlessly advertising till last week, she couldn't have impacted their ad spend with KiiSFM.Yet this disgraceful rag has seen fit to use the name and image of a woman killed just a few weeks ago (and who thus can't shed any light herself on the issue) to try to denigrate our MFW campaign.
This is just ... there really are no words for how bad this is.
Yet this is the depths these media people will stoop to in order to claim we are making untrue claims about a withdrawing advertiser. This is how low they will go to protect each other and continue to do untold harm to women.
The bigger point is: why is Murdoch sticking up for Kyle in this way? Why would a newspaper print such an outrageous and ridiculous lie? And just how low are they prepared to go to damage our campaign and keep their misogyny and hatred of women spewing forth every day?
It's too much. They've gone too far. And we've no choice today but to name this and deplore the depths they'll stoop to in their rabid need to control and demean others.
We're so horribly sorry for Lisa's family and friends to have her name used in this way to make some kind of point about MFW. We can't even believe this has happened. It just beggars belief. And it will further beggar belief if no other media call out this unconscionable and sick behaviour in their own industry.
We can't stop what we're doing. We know there are people such as decent employees at KiSFM/ARN and associated companies and people like Lisa's family now caught up in the crossfire, but we must continue to try to stop the outrageous harm being done in this country by a media cohort who've gone mad with hate.
