OMFG #Speers on #abc730. No way! Especially with that Downer punce! Followed by #CookingWithCrabbs #KitchenCabinet NO THANKS! #auspol @abcnews is ROCK BOTTOM!

@steph I wonder what #speers will say tomorrow morning on #abc #insiders
He needs to stop fawning after the #LNPCriminals now.

Need I say more?
Note also that there’s not a hint of evaluation of any of Keating’s criticisms, just a fact-free dismissal with the insult “spray”. Note as well that, despite all the excellent* journalism* and reporting* up until now, apparently it required criticism by Keating to, potentially, extract an explanation from the government for a $365b commitment, simply with a “spray”.

Says a lot for the probing investigative skills of our author, or the MSM as a whole.

What a pathetic excuse for the fourth estate.

When a journalist chooses to use pejorative words like “spray” to describe factually-based criticism, it tells you much more about the journalist than the topic they claim to be reporting.

Let’s just review short biographies of Keating and Speers:

Keating:
Served the Australian public for 27 years as MP, Treasurer, Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister

Achievements included the Prices and Incomes Accord, the float of the Australian dollar, the elimination of tariffs, the deregulation of the financial sector, the first federal budget surplus, and reform of the taxation system, including the introduction of capital gains tax, fringe benefits tax, and dividend imputation.
Introduced the landmark Native Title Act, compulsory superannuation and enterprise bargaining, created a national infrastructure development program, the APEC leaders' meeting, and promoted republicanism by establishing the Republic Advisory Committee.

Awarded Euromoney Finance Minister of the Year
Refused an AC, saying being PM was recognition enough
Chair of International Advisory Committee of China Development Bank, including such lightweights as Henry Kissinger, Paul Volcker and a former head of the IMF

Speers:
Ex-Murdoch talking head
Accused Keating of a “spray”

@Sallyd I called the #dentist and asked if he had time to take all my teeth out without #anaesthesia during the #Speers #Dutton #bedwetting competition.

He was doing someone else's at the same time for the same reason.

I went out to the shed and smashed my left thumb with a #hammer.

Much better.

Will #Speers refer to Jane Hume’s train wreck interview on #RNBreakfast this morning? It showed clearly the true position of the #LNP. #ABC730

#Voicetoparliament
Linda Burney was beautifully articulate in her interview with #Speers
Let us hope this whole discussion is handled in a respectful, civilised manner.

#Insiders #Speers talking ( prating) poppycock, again/still

@KangarooJack most of those Liberal politicians benefit in some way, either financially or otherwise from these companies, so 'of course' they'll be against extra tax on these companies. #auspol Simon Birmingham #insiders #speers

#insiders #speers this morning is the Liberal Comedy Hour. Sheridan, Smethurst & Grant? Really?

You've got to laugh. If you don't, you'd cry! How The ABC is a pale Imitation of what it once was. Thanks #ITA you've destroyed a national treasure. #auspol
