Her greatest supporters \u2013 the mainstream media \u2013 have been reporting her departure as though she is resigning because of family circumstances, or some other misfortune, and completely neglecting the fact that there are serious allegations of her behaviour as Treasurer and Premier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" id=\"block-3bc44166-3e34-4b1e-bb82-2844b2f93588\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-e7c63c06-127e-425e-aaad-51ca8736627b\">Our new book!

It\u2019s almost as absurd as suggesting the disgraced Labor MP, Eddie Obeid, is one of the greatest Minister for Resources ever (if only we can ignore the $100 million worth of corruption).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>10:50 The Turnbull\u2013Morrison War<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no fury greater than a Prime Minister ousted in a leadership challenge, and Malcolm Turnbull has arrived on the public stage with a vast array of verbal artillery to fire off at the incumbent: Scott Morrison. The botched French submarines deal; the poor vaccination rollout; inaction on climate change: everything is a target. On the day before Morrison ousted Turnbull, he said that he was \u201cambitious for my leader\u201d. It seems Turnbull won\u2019t be reciprocating, is totally unambitious for his leader and doing his best to repay the humiliation Morrison afforded to him on that fateful day in August 2018. This will be a story that has some way to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several weeks ago, Kristina Keneally was inserted as a preselection candidate in the South-West Sydney seat of Fowler. It\u2019s better for candidates to be preselected by the local membership but, sometimes, it\u2018s better to choose the best person, even if they are from outside of the area. This is an issue within politics, but all political parties do it: nevertheless, we assumed the issue would blow over, but the mainstream media has decided to revisit the seat of Fowler, no doubt to create problems for the Labor Party in the lead up to the next federal election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>17:56 Kristina Keneally and the Seat of Fowler<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Adrian Boothman was a long-time resident in the seat of Fowler and a former Labor Party staffer and advisor \u2013 we spoke to Adrian to see if there\u2019s a different perspective to the one presented in the mainstream media. And \u2013 can you believe it \u2013 yes, there is perspective that is closer to the facts on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4>Music interludes:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/0SytlxSc5VEOPVHgXfC1k7\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/5EDN3AP8pLIOtvgqYdZ4gl\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" width=\"100%\" height=\"80\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" id=\"block-3bc44166-3e34-4b1e-bb82-2844b2f93588\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"block-e7c63c06-127e-425e-aaad-51ca8736627b\">Support independent journalism!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newpolitics.com.au\/donate\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=800%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=300%2C75&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=768%2C192&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t plead, beseech, beg, guilt-trip, or gaslight you and claim the end of the world of journalism is coming soon.
