It’s time to call out the leftist bullshit

It’s time to call out the bullshit. During the past fortnight, the bullshit dial elevated to the critical red zone. So much bullshit. If the revolving door of mind-blowing hypocrisy and stupidity of the past few days is indicative of what to expect throughout this election campaign, it’s going to be a long one.

Let’s call it out, one by one. Sad case study after sad case study. Here we go:

• Grace Tame

Being Australian of the Year means you are supposed to unite Australians around a cause. And let’s agree: her cause is an important one. You would be hard pressed to find any Australian that would not harbour sympathy with a campaign to end violence and abuse of women. The problem? Tame chose to step away from the role of unifier and used her platform as a partisan commentator, treating the government as a punching bag.

Check out this photo of her with Albo. How convenient for Labor to have someone in this position basically in their pocket for the better part of a year.

The Tame show reached its crescendo with her rude, immature and disrespectful display at the Prime Minister’s HOUSE before Australia Day. As Peter Van Onselen rightly pointed out, if you cannot bring yourself to display basic courtesy as a guest of the PM, then don’t go.

• The Canberra Press Gallery

Don’t anyone dare tell me that the media is in the Liberal Party’s pocket. What Scott Morrison was forced tolerate after his National Press Club address was a disgrace. Here we are, in the midst of a global pandemic, with unemployment at a 50 year low after the government literally saved hundreds of thousands of jobs, and the ‘journalists’ gathered to grill the Prime Minister over insider Canberra gossip. Seriously, does the average punter really give a shit about some unconfirmed text exchange between the former NSW Premier and a minister?

We have a conflict brewing with China and Russia. We have the ongoing health challenges caused by the Omicron wave. We have mounting debt and an economic recovery to navigate. And yet these pissant journalists wasted Morrison’s time by asking juvenile questions like ‘will you say sorry’ and ‘are you the best man to lead the Liberal Party?’

The taxpayer funded leftist propaganda outlet, the ABC, led the charge. Lefty Laura Tingle had the privilege of asking the first ‘question’ where she tried to coax Morrison into an apology for so-called pandemic failures, overlooking the fact that we are one of the highest vaccinated countries on the planet with one of the best performing economies.

Perhaps all this would not have been so galling if Labor leader Anthony Albanese was also grilled with a barrage of inept and irrelevant questions. But oh no, the fawning press pack eviscerated Albo’s press club address with such probing questions like ‘Who is Anthony Albanese?’ Yep, that was ABC journalist Andrew Provan’s ‘gotcha’ question for the alternative Prime Minister. Such bullshit.

And for those twits who sook and moan about the Murdoch media, it was a Murdoch journalist (Peter Van Onselen) who broke the story about the text messages. Such pro-Liberal bias eh.

• The hysterical reaction to Scott Morrison’s photo in a hair salon

The Twitter meltdown was as predictable as it was rank. I mean, you can daily check this wart of a platform and just know that there will be some anti-Morrison bullshit trending.

It’s like clockwork. But oh man did it go into overdrive on Friday afternoon. Morrison’s crime? He was invited by a worker at the salon to have a go at washing hair. Idiots on Twitter took great pride in pointing out that the recipient of the wash was a worker and not a customer, but that was the point. It was a spontaneous bloody occurrence. And further to that, who gives a shit?

I was more worried about the fact that the Labor Party backflipped on its opposition to the Kurri Kurri gas plant in Hunter region. Despite blasting the project for years and calling it irresponsible, apparently voters in the Hunter Valley are supposed to believe these each-way-bet phonies who are telling them that they have seen the light and now want to protect their jobs. Utter bullshit.

Idiots have an hysterical meltdown over an innocent photo while Labor gets a free pass to lie to voters in order to try to hold onto the seat of Hunter at the election. What a joke.

• Each-way Labor

Come to think of it, the Opposition are worthy of an entire section of bullshit calling here. I mean, I know the government’s poll numbers are in the toilet right now, but what the hell does the Labor Party stand for? Are voters really expected to believe that the same roll call of failed ministers from the dreaded Rudd/Gillard era have suddenly abandoned their plans to tax their properties, raid their super, tax their shares and take a cut out of their inheritance? Surely the punters are not that stupid.

Here we have each-way Albo, basically selling Australian voters a donut: zero policies and no agenda. The classic small target strategy. Righto. So, these clowns want to win government to then do what?

Are we really expected to believe that this same mob who proposed taxing everything from the land we own to the air we breathe have abandoned their socialist plans to redistribute wealth earned from hardworking Australians? Nah, I call bullshit.

• Fake independents

We have a conga line of so-called independents running in the upcoming election. But here’s the catch. These ‘independents’ are funded by the same guy (Simon Holmes a Court), they all have the same agenda of climate action, integrity and women’s rights, and, the creme de la crème, they just happen to only be running in Liberal held seats.

What. Utter. Bullshit.

How can you stand up and present as an independent when you are being bankrolled by a dude running campaigns across nearly a dozen seats? How can you lie to voters and say you’re independent when your entire agenda is a carbon copy of the Labor/Green agenda for the past three years?

It gets worse. Two of these ‘independents’ were once members of the Labor Party. We have ‘independent’ Kate Chaney running in the safe Liberal seat of Curtin in WA, who just happens to be a former member of the Labor Party. But oh no, don’t worry, she has since quit that group to represent herself.

Then we have Jo Dyer running in the South Australian seat of Boothby. A woman who has spearheaded the lawsuit against Christian Porter and was, for much of her life…wait for it…a card carrying member of the Labor Party.

Absolute, utter bullshit.

Let’s call these ‘independents’ out for what they are: a rag-tag group of Labor/Green sympathisers who know full well that they cannot win on their preferred party’s ticket, so they are running as independents so they can trick voters and enter parliament by stealth.

It’s gross.

ScoMo, it’s time to kick into gear

For those who are worried about the current poll results and the seeming tidal wave of bad news currently besetting the government, there is room for optimism. Morrison is a master campaigner. The Liberals also enjoy significant margins across many of the 77 electorates they currently hold. There will be an inevitable anti-government swing, which is to be expected for a government asking for a fourth term, but swings are uneven across the country.

The government has enough electoral fat to survive strong swings in many seats, so it will ultimately become a tight, seat by seat contest running late into the night.

Unfortunately, there will be much bullshit from now until then, and it’s the job of every decent Australian to call that bullshit out.
