    The right-wing media are wrong: more spin and better "selling" of neoliberal policies won't convince voters to back them. The product is the problem, not the wrapping paperhttps://www.crikey.com.au/2018/08/01/economic-reform-spin-wont-work/ …

        They know no other way. They're moving quickly from future policy to outright plundering because they know they are gone.

        Reverse neo-liberalism by returning public services at Local, State & Federal Govt level back to ‘in-house’ provision under the genuine public service model. Cut out the thousands of private sector consultant$ & contractor$. Save BILLION$. #PrivateIsBadPublicIsGood

        It stood out in desperation of @InsidersABC panel on Sunday trying desperately to defend what they’d done (Barrie excluded). The ‘Kill Bill’ effort could go down in history as pivotal event in history of Aus political commentary. Hopefully as trigger of change, not just a fail.

        They always have that attitude. It’s not the policy, it’s just we are too stupid to know what’s good for us. The arrogance is astounding.

        Are they saying the $280 million the federal government wastes on unnecessary government advertising isn't enough and they want more taxpayers loot to be propagandists for them?

        This is exactly what they did after Tony Abbots notorious 2014 budget. Didn't admit it was awful, just said the plebs didn't really understand what they were trying to do. Nothing has changed.
