It's shameful this nonsense persists, & far too many, including some that should know better, are willing to perpetuate it.

Adani donates $600k the Qld LNP before election.
After the election, Qld LNP ends legal action over $400 MILLION in unpaid royalties.

The Betoota Advocate "If It Looks Like A Terrorist Attack, Walks Like A Terrorist Attack, But Talks Like A One Nation Senator, Then It Isn't A Terrorist Attack" Says Australian Media
chaserwar The Chaser | John Delmenico Local man unsure if media is describing someone throwing a bomb at a First Nations protest, or just a kid doing some prank calls
chaserwar Following The Chaser | John Delmenico Nation confident in ability to guess the alleged bomber's race based on lack of 'terrorist label
The Chaser @chaser News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."
Only the satirical news sites are covering the White Nationalist Perth shrapnel bomb attempt like it should be covered. #Auspol
