As William Blake so perceptively wrote, “A truth that’s told with bad intent, beats all the lies you can invent”. He might well have been thinking of Australia’s taxpayer-funded broadcaster. As the legacy media will, even when it’s reporting the truth, the ABC misleads by omission and

I really feel for those last remaining mandated workers suffering under the misguided belief that masks and vaccines worked at preventing Covid 19. But Chris Hipkins’ statements
I vividly remember when I first realised what a fatuous pile of virtue-signalling the whole charade of “Welcome to Country”/“Traditional Acknowledgement” really is.
