The Australian Financial Review, one of the Ministry of Truth’s many fine publications, will be sure to dress up the Government’s naked attacks on workers and the environment as “reforms”.

The Morrison Government is expected to face a tough time from the Fourth Estate in upcoming months as they roll out a true-blue Aussie shock doctrine.

The Prime Minister is said to be anxious about the risk of being grilled by the AFR. Phillip Coorey is already preparing tough questions like “Have I ever told you that your reforms remind me of the Hawke/Keating era?” and “These company tax rates do seem uncompetitively high don’t they?”

Meanwhile, The Australian and Daily Telegraph are gearing up to promote the Government’s exciting plans to reform the living shit out of our most precious forests.
