Coalition needs to watch its language as integrity campaign comes to a head

showing how a mysterious man called Glenn Druery gets paid tens of thousands to organise preference deals to get little-known Victorians into parliament despite receiving a tiny number of votes.

Despite this, the Coalition asked the Independent Broad‑based Anti‑corruption Commission to probe Labor’s dealings with the preference dealer. Senior MPs including opposition deputy leader David Southwick and frontbencher Louise Staley took to social media to tell thousands of followers that Labor was caught up in a scandal.“BREAKING: Daniel Andrews and Labor have been referred to the corruption commission over vote rigging,” Southwick posted.

It is not clear if Southwick and Staley intended their message to speak to this audience. They may not have. But, after what we’ve seen in Donald Trump’s America, all sides should be on notice that promoting false narratives about the legitimacy of voting in politics can be dangerous.Thursday’s Coalition referral to IBAC is the latest in a long line of Coalition complaints to the watchdog seemingly designed to do little other than allow MPs to claim IBAC is probing Andrews.

paulsakkal They haven’t appeared as a credible party of government for fucking years. The Victorian Coalition is the worst opposition in the entire country.
