to claim he had been sacked from the RFS because of his outburst. This is how hashtags are born. A martyr was being persecuted for speaking truth to power. Time to fire up the smartphone and go on a freedom march.
Parker was canonised. He had summed the frustration of a nation with his outburst but, like every saint, his totem was being loaded with the personal baggage of every devotee. Above all, his rage was taken as a primal scream at Morrison’s inaction on climate change. Then a much more inconvenient truth was revealed. In an interview with Nine News, Parker had colourfully expressed his contempt for all politicians, save one: "There’s only one person that cares about this country and that’s Pauline Hanson. Come and see us in Nelligen, Pauline. Mate, you’re unreal, you care about the country, the rest of them don’t."
CUhlmann It is too much of a leap to extrapolate the reactions of a handful of opinionated people on twitter regarding a single story to explain the political behaviour of all Australians. I think too much weight is given to the opinions of angry or abusive people in Australia.
CUhlmann ummm. Nup! IStandWithPaul 's right to express himself and vote forever he bloody well likes. It's what makes Australia, Your elitism slip is showing.... So glad I cancelled my subscription and supported independents.
CUhlmann You have got to be kidding! Blaming social media, ie, frustrated and angry voices, for politics getting so bad! Politics = elected representatives, voted in by the people, ie, they are public servants.
CUhlmann No, CUhlmann, I'd suggest the quality & behaviour of too many politicians is what it's bad. Social media is a tool for many who were unheard to let these unprincipled, unethical & amoral arses know what they think. Journos like you don't help with 1 eyed views & acceptance of BS
CUhlmann ThisisNotJournalism
CUhlmann I doubt Twitter would be so load and vocal if people thought we could trust our institutions even with the occasional misstep. We don’t have a meaningful ICAC. Expertise is ignored. RC recommendations are cherry-picked. Funds and Contracts given away in a cavalier manner.
CUhlmann If only we had an outlet that published stories after vetting them.
dragonsaerie CUhlmann He's really not a very good journalist is he? Never lets fact get in the way of GreenieBashing, in print.
CUhlmann This bloke is a joke ..I fought the fires and don't see the need to make political points ...politics gets bad when most of Australia voted for the MP and you at fake news SMH run this sad story of this bloke who needs help getting over the last election
CUhlmann I'd rather spend all day reading intelligent, well-informed tweets than spend a few minutes reading the biased rubbish Uhlmann churns out.
CUhlmann Pot calling kettle SMH

CUhlmann Also, THIS is who we are.
CUhlmann Interesting. Didn’t think to look at politics?
CUhlmann This is called 'incongruent sending.' You fame an argument in culture war/identity politics terms and then blame 'cultural warriors' for our woes. Fwiw, MSM mirrors social media & the most 'gated communities of the mind' are those MSM that employ CUhlmann
CUhlmann Chris Uhlmann is an architect of this dysfunction. This garbage is absolutely the definition of gaslighting.
CUhlmann Ahhh technology. I can have my opinion published just like The President of the United States or include the ScottMorrisonMP Australian PM in my humble ramblings. Unless of course they block me! Like David Littleproud. Twitter is my soapbox
CUhlmann Don’t blame Twitter 4 th corrupt rorting LNP
CUhlmann Uhlmann is starting to remind me of his mate Turnbull. A few days ago this bloke was the SMH’s poster boy because he ripped into the PM and now he’s praised Hanson they want to noose him. Pathetic hypocrisy.
CUhlmann gaslighting by the press....but i think you know that...
CUhlmann It all started when a hitherto respectable journalist blamed the SA blackout on renewables and then doubled down when facts bore no resemblance to his story. He now writes for SMH.
CUhlmann The author of this dribble is more of a concern. He promotes what he believes is poor taste. Doesn't that make him an oxymoron. I achieved more writing this compared to the few minutes I wasted in reading his article.
CUhlmann Yeah sux when you can't buy EVERYTHING. People on twitter are opinions not for SALE . . . at least not yet.
CUhlmann The reason I will not subscribe to SMH. It supports this dipstick.
CUhlmann In despair, I wondered how politics got so bad then I looked at mainstream media.
CUhlmann Well before the last fed election there were masses of pro-LNP bots/trolls sprouting vile narrative & promoting anti-PC with Trump cultist branding all over them. They're still going. They pushed the overthrow of Trurnbull, to replace with Abbott months before Turnbull was ousted
CUhlmann the social-media platform isn't the problem; it's it's use the attempt at swaying political divide is alive and well and such apathy favours the right-wing what better way to create disinterest in real would-be left-wing voters than by paying trolls/robots to be fake lefties?
CUhlmann so CUhlmann is of the idea people, with more information & facts, are not at liberty to change opinions? I support what Parker said & his right to say it, but i cannot stand beside anyone who believes Hanson is a legitimate option. ClimateCrisis LNPCorruption
CUhlmann Everyone knows that Twatter is the online sess pit of political sh*t slinging.
CUhlmann Maybe it is time for Nine to hire an adult to fill the role of Political Editor. This work experience kid isn't working out, hence the declining TV ratings.
CUhlmann I’m just gonna assume wind turbines blew away all the gendered toilets and move on
CUhlmann Twitter tells it the way the public see it unlike the journos who report only to satisfy their bosses leanings
CUhlmann The majority of tweets from Media groups are negative editorials or opinion pieces ( such as this one) Perhaps the public are just following suit.
CUhlmann Howard lied to the Australian public, When the Prime Minister debases the standard the country responds.
CUhlmann Yeah like he's got nothing to do with it !
CUhlmann What an absolutely disgraceful effort from Chris. I was on that thread yesterday and there were many progressives, like me, saying (effectively/paraphrasing) you can disagree with his politics while still believing he shouldn't be sacked for saying what he did. SMH, how pathetic
CUhlmann Twitter - the place where the mainstream media are held to account.
CUhlmann Twitter asks the hard questions that CUhlmann and his merry band of gutless journalists fail to ask.
CUhlmann Way too much meaning attached to a random outburst in the heat of the moment.
CUhlmann Uhlmann wants to be able to write whatever he wants - lies, beat ups - but old days are gone. Twitter allows ordinary folk the opportunity to challenge the terrible way public get treated by politicians & media - so many distortions & propaganda. Public lost trust in media.
CUhlmann At least Twitter says things that the mainstream media refuse to report on.
CUhlmann goodbye SMH, you were once a decent paper but this is just another trash opinion piece in the long line of rubbish in recent months
CUhlmann I’d blame the reporters, actually. Like you

Trump 'will avoid' war ahead of 2020 vote: IranIranian President Hassan Rouhani has claimed he doesn&x27;t believe the US will pursue war with his country, because it will harm President Donald Trump&x27;s 2020 reelection bid. But, after the election, his arse is going to be blown off. 😂😂😂 He clearly doesn’t know Americans. Did Hillary tell Iran to say that?
