I'm a little sick of the 'communist' propaganda from the current government. Inside the bubble that no Australian really cares about Let's 'dictate' Australians view from inside our bubble.. auspol helloworld

He’s got nothing. Just a failed advertising executive who fell into the Lodge because the horrible fool who wanted to become PM couldn’t count!

If this govt gets reelected I will become a New Zealander.

It’s the reds under the bed syndrome.

Difference is, & it's huge, Labor's campaign to save Medicare was/is based on something real, not a pack of lies. There were real intentions to privatise exposed during Senate Estimates. Now what party wouldn't take advantage on that? & back door changes have already damaged it.

They want us screaming HATE at the news like in 1984. Most of the people coming by boat are just desperate refugees. Politicians are sickening.

Is it a scare campaign or is he making a practical prediction?

What the media and our PM forget is that most Australians, while appearing apathetic😎 about politics in Australia, at the end of the day they know whom they want as PM 😏.

WhistlingWhist If Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison/insert name here “government” are such superior economic managers why did they more than double national debt between 2013-19? As I see it they simply borrowed money to give tax cuts to the rich. PLEASE EXPLAIN ScottMorrisonMP. VoteScoNO auspol

HkarterKarter I've been hoping for an asylum seeker scare campaign backfire for more than a decade. Not confident that Australians living in marginal seats will react differently this time around.

Ur a disgrace ABC 0/10

One dubious poll and media think the scare campaign is working.

“opinion” = opportunity to run leftist narrative on the tax payer purse Some people would genuinely rather not see families drown at sea.. hard to believe I know

Scotty is basically a good salesman. Blah blah blah. He is also a member of the LNP deadbeats!

It already has backfired

Morrison out dogwhistling the sheep.

Well he has to hang his hopes on something! 🙄

We need them gone. People need to start demanding the crossbench act and support a No_Confidence motion. Their inaction enables the governments corruption Auspol

No it’s more a case of the Labor aligned ABC banking on the public perceiving that the Morrison Government is running a scare campaign so that their Labor Party get up! There’s NO scare campaign, but pure unadulterated fact! Labor = Open borders, no security, illegal immigration!

What absolute rubbish. The ABC is totally irrelevant in today's Australia.

Guys seriously. Any piece tagged OPINION always comes from the pov of the marxist playbook. I don't read it because I can write it blindfolded. Ffs do your job for Australians.

Is the word “banking” embedded in the title as a pun?

Bill Shortens socialist vision for this country is the stuff of nightmares

The left wing lynch mob is banking on a scare campaign. The government is merely reminding those with selective and short term memories of what billshortenmp and his running mate RichardDiNatale have planned if, heaven forbid, they win the election.

I’m not surprised by this, it’s a tried and trusted plan that has worked in the past. What’s more concerning is how many people fall for it. What does that say about Australians?

'If the polls this week are anything to go by, the Morrison Government's border security scare campaign is working.' Which 'polls'? There's been an ipsos poll, at odds with others, & was interpreted as relating to border security. No direct question asked.

Please keep re-stating the details of the Medivac bill whenever the ‘invasion of refugees’ scare is raised.

Trump's little clone.

Nice to know that he’s not even thinking about trying to get our power prices to go down. All he cares about is his fear campaign. He doesn’t deserve any votes at all 😡

Global warming is the epitome of scare campaign - it defines the ABC and its politically partisan bias.

I'm happy to be described as a Marxist if that is the definition of caring for others

MinhKular James wrote his article based on an Ipsos poll. This poll now belongs to a media group run by Peter Costello. The poll flies in the face of every other poll in Australia. Steadily they have all moved towards 55/45 Labor. Stop and think for a moment. Who is Peter Costello?

Australia should be scared of what a Shorten Labor govt will do to this country by pandering to the leftist Marxist activists and agitators. Labor is blind to what the majority of Australians want.

It's not working! Aussies are not that stupid!

Mainstream voters are more concerned with the real issues, such as cost of living, healthcare etc.

The science behind Morrison's scare tacticsThe Coalition hopes risk-averse voters will respond to its warnings about boats and the economy, but it will need the electorate to start listening. If voters are sensible they will Risk adverse voters would be wise not to vote for a government that doesn't have a ClimateChange policy, that wants taxpayers to fund more coal and that even a million dead fish on the MurrayDarling cannot attract the attention of the Environment Minister.

Doctors reject claims of flood of asylum seeker transfersPrime Minister Scott Morrison slammed Labor for passing the medical transfer bill in another dramatic day. Give em a chance, it's only been 3 days, the claims will come by the boatload soon, and anyone with half a brain knows that. We must have more fools per sq mile than any country on Earth, except maybe Canada. Well that’s reassuring. I must admit I was a bit worried there. Cheers doctors 👌 Doctors are wouldnt care about Govt spending so they support sending the country broke.

Australia slammed globally over asylum seeker policy“Sick joke” — this was the two-word headline The Economist ran with to summarise the Australian government’s response to a bill that would give detained asylum seekers medical attention. Australia should be slammed for our racist asylum seeker policy. How many years have we had these people locked up in Manus? And then there’s an outcry at the suggestion of giving them better medical care. Really? It’s shameful. No , that is only MSM propaganda, we are envy about you have a strong government looking after it's own peoples interest. Countries that are overrun with illegal immigrants pointing the finger at those that address the problem ...jealousy me thinks

Why car’nt you Labor sympathisers be open with the facts that are so lucid! jennymcallister Correct. Sub-par economic growth for years, stagnant wages, high unemployment, record underemployment and casualisation, plummeting house prices, massive corruption. The LNP are worse than useless.

Government says medevac bill opens door to asylum seekers rejected by USWhy is this headline not 'Government lies once again about medevac bill in fearmongering campaign for re-election'? SBS fake news help the white racist hate group LNP lie about the medevac bill. Seems obvious to me who SBS disinformation will barrack for in the election. Another 2013 coup coming up? Every journalist in on it? Just deport them home
