Much has been written about the spread of the Murdoch empire’s “cancer on democracy”. What started as a localised malignancy close to a century ago has metastasised and now threatens all the vital organs of democracy in the US, UK, and Australia. Much less has been written about the treatment options for this ravaging sickness. Parts two and three of this series try to redress the balance, starting with framing Rupert Murdoch as the true enemy of the people.

Dissident News Corp voices are making out like their papers have recently fallen from once great heights of fair and balanced reporting. Tell that to James Scullin, Billie McMahon, Gough Whitlam, Kevin Rudd, Julia Gillard and Malcolm Turnbull.

For two decades, Western governments and media outlets have taught their citizens it’s okay to demonise, imprison, torture, and kill Muslims who want nothing more than to live a life safe from violence. Yet for the Australian political and media classes who counter overwhelming evidence for their own culpability with pernicious propaganda, blame for the Christchurch terror attacks lies not with their own dark arts but solely with the darkest corners of the World Wide Web.

Yesterday, we brought you a list of 123 things the Liberal Government did to ‘tackle’ climate change. The list, compiled by Liam McLoughlin, was sparked by a ReachTel poll commissioned by Greenpeace Australia which found that for the voters of Wentworth – former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s old seat – tackling climate change was their number one priority. The second priority for voters was immigration. As Wentworth voters head to the polls today, here’s a list (which reads like an International Criminal Court charge sheet) of what the Liberal Government has done to asylum seekers over the past five years, and in many cases is still doing.

A recent ReachTel poll commissioned by Greenpeace Australia found that for the voters of Wentworth – former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s old seat – tackling climate change was their number one priority. With the Wentworth by-election to be staged on Saturday, Liam McLoughlin thought it timely to help the good voters of the eastern suburbs focus their minds on the Liberal Party’s action on climate change over the last five years. It’s a long list… actually, it’s a long Shitlist.

Mess with berries and you’re locked up for over a decade. Mess with the minds of refugee children and you’re a daggy dad with a half-million-dollar salary.

They both start with the letter ‘L’ and they both end with ‘party’. But they’re the only ones celebrating, writes Liam McLoughlin.
