After 12 good years on Twitter and one horrible year of Elon Musk's X-cesspit, I'm hanging up my Twitter-boots. Musk's troll army will have to find someone else to abuse. I might return someday, but in the meantime I'm at Threads. I'll leave you with a recap of my fav momentsšš»

Anthony Klan had investigated the funders of the āNoā campaign. Despicable that the āNoā campaign accused āYesā of being āelitesā because some āYesā campaigners are highly educated. Meanwhile, the āNoā campaign was funded by some of Australiaās richest people - in secret. Why?

šØThe entire premise of the "No" Voice campaign was a sham ā the "grassroots" campaign of "ordinary Australians" was bankrolled by a handful of the super-rich. Boils down to just 10 entities, most recent disclosures show. They are the 0.01%.

This is such disingenuous crap from @SenatorCash. The Uluru Statement From the Heart was developed under the PM Abbott. HE asked FN people to develop how they wanted to be recognised in the constitution. Albo was the middle guy who took it to the people to vote. So much lying.

Michaelia cash: Australians didn't vote no to ATSI progress, they voted no to Anthony Albenese...
Well, why did you make it about him when it was about something else? You guys did that. It's all on you.

I have been accused dozens of times, in the past 72 hours, of being intolerant of people who have a different opinion from me on the indigenous Voice to Parliament.
I just wanted to clear something up.
It's true.

Why is it that international media can so clearly point to ānoā campaignās use of misinformation and racially charged culture wars in the Voice referendum, yet our own media barely reported it? Why isnāt the ABC doing a better job of criticising the sordid state of ānoā campaign?

Lots of people are talking about the ABCās failure to report about the referendum accurately because of their unthinking quest for ābalanceā and the lack of scrutiny given to the ānoā campaignās lies and misrepresentations. Well done Laura Tingle for calling this out. A threadšš»

Jacinta Price has lied her way through referendum. As per below statement she made at a 'no' rally, she says the Voice came from PM - a lie, that it is not an advisory body - a lie, and that there's no detail - a lie, parliament decides details. Why are her lies never called out?

Dutton thinks poor little James Stevens is owed an apology by ABC because of his car crash appearance on #QandA where he found himself backed into a corner trying to defend indefensible position denying colonisationās negative impact on Aboriginals. Stevens is NOT THE VICTIM HERE
10 Oct 2023
Peter Dutton attacks the ABC & defends Liberal Fed MP for Sturt James Stevens who said on #QandA that "European colonisation has been an overwhelmingly good thing". Dutton doesn't like the audience & labels the ABC as having a 'shocking culture' #auspol

James Stevens is member for Sturt in Adelaideās leafy eastern suburbs. He has been virtually invisible since taking over the seat from Christopher Pyne. And now heās made a name for himself with this outrageously offensive attempt to erase Aboriginal experienced of colonisation.
9 Oct 2023
Shameless James Stevens shocks #QandA audience by praising the colony & refusing to say if he agrees with Jacinta Priceās comments. Audience cannot bear Stevens any longer but he only keeps digging until his ādisgustingā colonial sentiment is ended by Natasha Wanganeenš„

A vandal has added a line to 110km/hr speed signs on the Pacific Highway.
If seeing this makes you feel sadness and despair, now imagine how youād feel driving past this as an indigenous Australian.
To them, it says āsit down and shut upā.

This is the standard of ādebateā Iāve been experiencing for months from ānoā trolls. Absolutely true that the Voice referendum did not divide us, it revealed us. Emboldened the worst of Australia.

I think it's important to note that Albo did get bipartisan support for the Voice referendum. He got the support of then Liberal Shadow Aboriginal Affairs spokesperson Julian Lesser and former Minister for Indigenous Affairs Ken Wyatt. Dutton split his own party to reject Voice.

To mark Rupert Murdoch stepping down from News Corp, letās talk about how news media is not meant to be used for political campaigning, culture wars and manufactured conflict. As Australiaās biggest news company, News Corp undermines the health of our democracy, yet is normalised

Yesterday I asked if media would give Voice to Jacinta Priceās community. @GuardianAus have done that. The Central Land Council - 90 elected members - have said Priceās comments denying ongoing impacts of colonisation are hurtful and insulting. Will this be widely reported?

Guys! We are all wrong about colonisation having a negative impact on indigenous people because Warren Mundine has named three aboriginals who have "been very successful". Including himself! We are at the "you couldn't make this shit up" stage of this referendum debate. Honestly š¤Æš¤Æš¤Æš¤Æš¤Æ

To make her anti-Voice argument work, Jacinta Price has had to deny reality of Aboriginal disadvantage, deny history of dispossession and trauma, and deny that her own shadow portfolio is needed. Does anyone in the media want to call this out? Itās not just post-truth, itās vile.

Incredible to see the media collectively warming up to blaming Albo for ānot convincing enough yesā supporters, while congratulating Dutton, Price and Mundine for lying so effectively they made it impossible for āyesā to cut through. Do they ever think about what theyāre saying?
