This woman is appalling:
Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil has warned that democracy in Australia is under attack from the spread of misinformation, rise of new media platforms, threat of foreign interference and declining social cohesion.
Speaking in the wake of the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Ms O’Neil said that declining trust was a major problem that needed to be addressed to restore confidence in democracy and warned some nations were doing better than others in addressing this challenge.
She also took aim at pro-Palestine protesters who had vandalised Labor electorate offices including those of Anthony Albanese in Sydney and Josh Burns, the Labor MP for Macnamara whose St Kilda electorate office was firebombed last month.
Why do I note the gender of the minister? Because it is relevant, and not in a good way.
Women such as Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil are more and more commonly deployed in the most controversial of corporate roles.
This has nothing to do with competence, except to the extent that corporatised women are more accomplished liars than corporatised men.
Ironically, this is because of the lingering chivalry of society, which accords women greater respect in debate.
Feminsing the subject is these days the preferred corporate strategy to protect strategies that are hostile to the people.
But O’Neil is a former McKinsey consultant thoroughly trained in the dark art of corporate indifference.
This class warfare on worker wages and renting Australians has no basis in social values. It exclusively aims to boost the profits of immigration-exposed corporations.
Yet O’Neil, a living and breathing corporate gaslight, is happy to lecture Australians about declining democratic values.
It is this kind of double-dealing that has cratered the Roy Morgan Government Trust Rating for Albo’s carpetbaggers:
Democracy doesn’t have a trust problem. It has a corrupt cop Albo problem.
