Meanwhile, Anthony Albanese is also going viral on Tik Tok for calling Peter Dutton and the Coalition “dululu with no solulu” in question time yesterday (we were busy watching a dead fish in the senate)

Here is the origins of that particular villain story:

The ABC’s Sydney radio host asks if he he knew what he was saying and Albanese says:

Yes I did and I do think that Peter Dutton is delusional if he speaks about fiscal policy and deficits given that he left deficits of $78 billion that we turned into a surplus. Another deficit of above $50 billion that we turned into a second surplus of $15 billion and then we’ve halved the deficit that we inherited this year. But this morning Angus Taylor’s made the rather extraordinary statement, declaration, that they will repeal our tax cuts. That is, they will introduce legislation for higher taxes. So, under Peter Dutton people will earn less and they’ll be taxed more.

New media, podcasters and content creators will all be part of Labor’s election strategy – it started well over a year ago when Labor invited social media influencers and new media for a budget briefing, which is something they repeated this year. But since the Democrats loss and Donald Trump’s ownership of the manosphere through new media and podcasts, Labor has ramped it up. There are journalists already grumbling about new media and content creators being on the election campaign, but politicians aren’t doing it for cred – they are doing it because THAT IS WHERE THE AUDIENCE THEY WANT TO REACH IS. People under 35 are not turning to legacy media for their news. There’s a gap, it is being filled, and politicians want in. The Coalition, Greens and independents will all be doing it too. If legacy media want those audiences, they have to give them what they want, and so far the data is saying that is not happening.
