If the alternative is a "news" organisation that cops the biggest defamation payout in US history (four times the next biggest!) for telling literally thousands of lies about the 2020 US election result (after, mind you, they'd initially backed the election result but found they were losing viewers at the rate of knots - so it's now a proven fact that Fox viewers turn off when they hear the truth) - well, yes, I'd prefer the drabness of what you're suggesting here.
I'd like your honest answer - why do you never criticise a media organisation that has been shown in the most devastating fashion (ie their company bottom line taking a AU$1.2 billion defamation hit) to not be remotely interested in the truth, in fact corporately geared to provide the exact opposite of the truth?
By all means criticise all the other outlets. But realise that if News/Fox isn't in that list every time, your criticisms have zero credibility.

Pocock has not been in the Senate long enough for any of those issues to be even remotely linked to him.
The last time "the Feds" screwed Public servants was when the shitstained dog ****er Morrison was in the PM's chair.
Pocock was only elected in May 2022.
He is very outspoken on numerous Canberra issues and is as far from "quiet" as you could imagine.
Where are you getting this info?
Oh well, we shall see what happens then.
You can always blame Murdoch when she is ousted.
I would be very disappointed to lose Wolahan or Violi from the Parliament. Others mentioned tangentially not so much.
Ryan has a challenge because she has a significant portion of her new electorate that she will have no personal vote in. Who knows how much her election was a vote to remove Frydenberg or anti-Scomo. I just wouldn't be confident making any prediction in Kooyong.
And as I have argued before, a hung parliament this time around will present a much more difficult challenge to 2010-2013.
More challenging for the major party, but it's how Parliament was always intended to work, taking into account the needs of minor parties and independents.
Those two seem like decent enough people, but I'm not sure I trust the LNP (or ALP for that matter) to look after the Dandenongs and Yarra Valley - all the way through Menzies....
It's pretty ironic about the ALP having the 2PP advantage on environment, yet the only seats the LNP hold are the most environmentally sensitive areas of Melbourne (and Victoria, via the Nats for that matter). Which is why I think the Victorians are vulnerable to the direction the national party is taking.
living in Canberra taking to public servants and being a family of public servants.
2023 APS were screwed by a delayed and unfair pay offer that was entirely the ALPs fault. Note not as bad as the libs were but Pocock said nothing unlike the Greens senator pocock who fought hard.
APSC admits nobody accepted, everybody rejected, ‘inadequate’ APS pay offer
The rift over the APS pay divide deepens as concerns grow over increasingly slippery language describing workplace democracy.

He may have been unheard regards the Public Service but hardly "screwd them over"
He is definitely not quiet and you know this if you live in Canberra.
I would say his focus is not on industrial relations.
He ran on the environment and holding politicians and high public servants to account.

Well yes. It’s only you that refuses to acknowledge Murdoch’s decades-long history of attempting to influence election outcomes.
I guess you think Eric Beecher and Paddy Manning don’t know what they’re talking about. (JOOI, how do your credentials stack up against those guys?)
He definitely didn't screw public servants, just sat quietly and watched Katy Gallagher (who is worse).do it
He has certainly started to talk about the terrible NACC (which was one of his platforms) but it is the same weak NACC he voted for.
Please note just because I think he will struggle to win as he could have done a lot more - he is still better in my opinion than the other options. I would personally vote

When you all turn on Dutton, you’ll all claim he wasn’t “conservative enough”
That’s how it goes isn’t it?
Unlikely.
Why would we turn on him when he is going to win?

Just got the liberal Kooyong candidates firs Mail Drop.
No mention of Dutton or nuclear. Would have thought they’d be trumpeting their apparent ‘strengths’

They must think the economy goes to hell every time he goes to the toilet to take a dump.
Keep that focus up Albo.
Back when Toyota were both a manufacturer and an importer, they would hardly turn a profit.
Then PING , massive fine for transfer pricing discrepancy.
Suddenly the following year they are making a massive profit.
Year by year the profit goes down, until PING , fined again.

So instead you get an echo chamber telling people what they want to believe in not necessarily the truth. Sky News the classic example.
Sky News probably. He doesn't pay attention to anything outside his echo chamber.

The hook-ha about the Bali 9 is laughable
Not in a room of leftists. Granted, there aren't many.
