ABC News Verify has attempted to smear Trumpet of Patriots leader Suellen Wrightson merely because she shared an anti-trans post from a "far right" news site.
Senator Ralph Babet is a target of an ABC News Verify hit piece because he used an article from The Noticers news website.

By MICHAEL SLOVANOS
THE ABC’s so-called fact checkers are attempting to dictate to Australians what constitutes “correct political discourse” and what doesn’t.

When Senator Ralph Babet expressed alarm about the police-state-style arrest of Australian nationalists by South Australian police on Australia Day 2024, the little leftie hit squad at ABC News Verify pounced on him for using an article from The Noticer about the incident.

The Noticer is a news site used almost exclusively by the Australian National Socialist Network, who are generally branded “neo-Nazi” or “white supremacist” because they favour reinstatement of the former White Australia Policy that operated in Australia for 50 years and restricted immigration to mostly European people.

Cairns News reported on the arrests at the time. The SAPol operation would have done the former East German Stasi secret police proud. Police made up bogus charges such as “wearing hate group insignia” and loitering in order to arrest 15 group members who staged a public rally at the National War Memorial in Adelaide, singing Waltzing Matilda.

The “hate group insignia” charge against a Perth man Mason Robbins was dropped by police, who also paid his legal fees. After their arrests Mr Robbins and the rest of the NSN members charged – except for Stephen Wells – spent three days in solitary confinement before being released on bail with conditions preventing them from entering Adelaide CBD or contacting others members and associates of their political group.

Wells refused to accept the conditions and remains in isolation in the maximum security Adelaide Remand Centre, even though his initial charge of loitering has since been withdrawn at a bail hearing. He will face court on a single charge of displaying a Nazi symbol for his NSN patch on April 17.

Senator Babet, like Cairns News writers, were outraged by the treatment of this group, which had all the appearances of an organised pollitical hit job involving police, the courts and the South Australian Labor government in collusion.

And then the leftie crew at ABC News Verify joined in the witch hunt, attempting to “question” Senator Babet because he “openly shared and discussed content from the site on social media”.

Babet’s apparent sin was to post on X “If the information in this article is correct then Australia is heading towards a very bleak future where the courts are used to punish political opinion.”

ABC News Verify asked the senator “if he was aware The Noticer publishes neo-Nazi and white supremacist content”. Babet’s answer hit the mark: “I shared a true and factual article. Did you forget that I am a black immigrant and a democratically elected federal senator?” he said.

The targets of ABC News Verify also include an Illawarra anti-offshore wind farm campaigner, the Telegram platform, UK anti-immigration groups, and people who oppose transgender men in women’s sports.

ABC News Verify then goes on to quote a si-called far-right extremism and political communication expert Jordan McSwiney, from the University of Canberra, who makes the stunning observation that it appears “The Noticer was designed to continually attract new audiences and insert its more extremist ideologies into the national discourse”.

“A lot of The Noticer’s content is curated to mask the far-right nature of the website,” the academic doctor said. “This means people may share it without necessarily realising that they are sharing content from a far-right website.”

It appears that the leftist guardians of Australian public discourse believe innocent Australians who visit a “far right” website may be unconsciously led astray into “dangerous beliefs”. And what might those “dangerous beliefs” be, one might ask?

That immigration is out of control in Australia and causing a housing shortage? That western governments are becoming increasingly totalitarian? That “climate change” is a monstrous scam designed to disempower and control populations?

It’s very clear in ABC New Verify’s own words where they stand when describing the Noticer: “Ethnicity features as the focal point for dozens of articles across the website. Other articles are framed in a way which denigrates immigration, multiculturalism, Indigenous rights, feminism, and LGBTQI+ communities.”

Oh how dare they denigrate immigration, multiculturalism, Indigenous rights, feminism, and LGBTQI+ communities! The statement reveals the rare atmosphere inhabited by these guardians of discourse. Those topics are routinely criticised and attacked and exposed daily on popular social media channels including Cairns News.

ABC News Verify features “star” investigative journalist Kevin Nguyen who has the sort of profile that might lead a suspicious conspiracy theorist to think he’s an MI6 or CIA asset planted in media. We know they do exist.

Nguyen has worked for all “the right media” and specialises in open-source intelligence (OSINT), that is, the collection and analysis of data gathered from overt sources and publicly available information to produce actionable intelligence, primarily used in national security, law enforcement, and business intelligence.

Nguyen is a politically-correct journalist extraordinaire, having worked with the Washington Post, New York Times, Al Jazeera, Wall Street Journal, Vice, and CNN. He is also a “media educator” and was a 2023 journalism AI fellow at the good old London School of Economics, where all the key establishment talent goes to learn how to play the great game in service of His Majesty.

Another example of Nguyen’s work is his hit piece on an anti-wind farm campaigner in the Illawarra, where Labor proposes to set up an offshore wind farm to enrich their “green” party donors and further drive up the cost of electricity.

His specific target was Alex O’Brien, who runs Responsible Future (Illawarra Chapter) or RFI, which opposes the offshore wind farm. O’Brien heckled Anthony Albanese when he visited the Wollongong recently to promote a local ALP candidate.

Nguyen notes that O’Brien, tut, tut, has even met with Opposition Leader Dutton and other senior Liberals and that the protest group, shock horror, has “increasingly been given a platform in local, national, and even international media”.

“But many (read the renewable energy industry and their Labor-Green stooges) are questioning whether the messaging pushed by the group and its associated social media accounts has been distorting and poisoning the debate,” says Nguyen.

And what leads Nguyen to this judgment? “RFI has been accused of “Trumpian-style” attacks on advocates and experts, spreading misinformation and disinformation narratives imported from the US, misrepresenting the true level of community opposition for the project and cherrypicking the testimony of a prominent conservation group.”

“Trumpian-style attacks”? Good gracious me! Did somebody mention “drill, baby, drill?” or “wind farms are horrible!” Oh the poor wee wind farm people! After all, they only want to save the planet and earn multiple millions in government subsidies in the process.

It sounds to Cairns News that RFI has run a very effective campaign in heading off an appallingly stupid idea, not only in the Illawarra but in other Australian communities fighting these monstrosities.

Why stick hundreds of giant wind towers with a 20-year lifespan in the ocean when existing coal-fired power stations simply require some long-overdue maintenance and upgrades to keep running into the near future and doing what wind farms don’t do – providing reliable, inexpensive energy 24×7.

From the land of Australians

25 thought on “ABC News Verify tried to shame Senator for reading ‘far right news site’”
  1. Why is the Aligned Council of Australia opposing the 2024 International Health Regulations, and why do they need to be an election issue?
    The World Health Organization (WHO) is the international organisation responsible for global health. The WHO is made up of 194 member countries, Australia is a member.
    The WHO was responsible for declaring the Covid-19 pandemic and making numerous recommendations, which Australia’s politicians and health departments followed without question.
    Since the Covid-19 pandemic the WHO has been busy writing more Pandemic Regulations and drafting a new Pandemic Agreement which will allow it to declare more and more pandemics. The Australian government has signed up for new Pandemic Regulations, giving even more power to the unelected WHO.
    The WHO’s 2024 Pandemic Regulations will mean: the WHO may declare more pandemics; push for increased surveillance and censorship of Australians; and promote pharmaceutical interests.
    The WHO is no longer solely funded by its 194 member countries – instead it now receives significant funding from pharmaceutical companies.
    We must REJECT these Pandemic Agreements by 15 May 2025 and Pandemic Regulations by 17 July 2025.

    Following are just a number of the key concerns we have about the WHO’s Pandemic Regulations and Agreement and what our government is walking us into.

    Censorship
    Censorship is the tool used when the lie loses its power. The WHO’s Pandemic Regulations requires Australia to respond to the ‘infodemic’ which is caused by ‘mis and dis-information’. It will do this by increased censorship. But who gets to decide what is such information: the government?

    Surveillance
    Testing, tracking and tracing.
    Everything will be tested from sewage, to people, birds, and animals.
    The WHO is on the lookout for the next pathogen of pandemic potential.
    Also cue digital IDs with vaccine passports and health passes.

    Cost
    These Pandemic Regulations are going to cost us billions in compliance, surveillance, and testing.
    None of this comes cheap under the Pandemic Regulations Australia is required to establish a National Implementation Compliance Authority to make sure we are fulfilling the obligations our government has signed us up to.

    Australia must REJECT the WHO’s:

    – Pandemic Agreement by 15 May 2025;

    – Pandemic Regulations by 19 July 2025

    And EXIT the WHO!

    By making the rejection of the Pandemic Agreement and the 2024 International Health Regulations an election issue we are stopping the WHO and government overreach.

    If I still had facebook I would love to share many articles, news, information; BUT the problem was and is that Tyrannical Governments and Mr. Facebook permanently deleted the facebook accounts of many people, experts and groups including mine a year ago, (and many other social media platforms and websites did likewise – disgraceful).
    For all those people who are going to go and ‘vote’, we need you the people, to ‘vote in’ the Freedom Parties so as to reclaim all our freedoms, rights and choices and to destroy the ever increasing Tyranny which will go to ‘permanent status’ unless the Tyrants are voted out permanently.

  3. Aussiemal:
    “After all even Nature’s own features are sometimes brought down by her own force.”

    The treasonous, lying tyrants KNOW that and is exactly the reason they want the junk, which they KNOW cannot possibly provide electric power to our industries and our modern society. It’s all part of their anti-humanity ploy to destroy everything we love and take for granted.
    But the saddest part is that most of the sleepwalking sheep actually believe the tyrants care about saving the planet but think they’re merely misinformed and/or incompetent and going about their mission to save us all from climate Armageddon, the wrong way. Assuming they even think about the issue at all – most of them wouldn’t have a clue.

  4. Wow crooked ABC-TV and WEF Young Global Leader ALP housing minister Clare “empathy empathy” ONeill both barefaced lying as hard as they can, “counter-factual” the blue party calls it, the blue party said they will give handouts to young people wanting to build a new house and the red party inverts that and insists they are driving prices up and not looking after supply. The crooked ABC is so desperate to push Elbow across the line, so they can all have a pay rise.
    They are pushing lies as hard as they can we are used to it, for months they have been lying about interest rates which are directly connected to the US bond rate and not much else, excepting in the case of total economy meltdown.
    Instead they say interest rate rises are somehow caused by the public making inflation. Price inflation first shows up through the international oil price. It’s caused by the government putting too much money into the economy, what is called “money printing”. The oil producers know the money is a joke so they put the price up. It started under KRudd and never stopped because all the assets were already sold off by Keating and Howard. The money printing made the dollar more worthless so the prices went up. But the public is blamed, they used to blame OPEC but now they blame the public. When the public tries to raise wages to keep up with the worthlessness of the money, they say it’s inflationary. How does raising wages to meet the new price of petrol, gold, housing, food etc cause inflation, the public is not flooding the place with new created money, that is the government and the banks. But the Unaparty has been creating money the same both sides red and blue so they bothe keep bullshitting and crooked ABC-TV gives them the platform. The only reason to watch is to be amazed that the bullshit keeps flowing. Inflation, ClimateChange, housing, just about everything is loaded up with bullshit until it groans. There is only one thing at play here and it’s careers, as everyone knows, and the career poison has trickled down into local councils now, their business associations are all they care about, for their post-political career. It seems the WEF has infiltrated all the mayors now. Nobody much is talking about it but that’s what the WEF is there for so I have no trouble believing the rumour. The WEF has installed itself as the apex and they buy off everyone in their top-down system, meanwhile, BlackRock stacks the boards of everything so that “Australian Super” is controlled by BlackRock along with Coles and Woorworths and probably an increasing amount of everything else, the whole place is being corporatised and nearly everything they tell you is a lie.

  5. ABC News Verify is a Marxist PC Screw. Ditto for the federal Discrimination Pajeet who has called Australia Day: ‘racist’.

    This nation is undergoing rigorous Marxist subversion and once these Assets are in place, as Yuri Bezmenov says: “You’re stuck with them”.

  6. The good news is I don’t know anyone that watches msm anymore as they are kinda irrelevant now. 🫡

  7. To Fed Up
    Shall I quote George Gently’s words in the final episode.

    “As it was, it always will be.”

    Or De Gaule’s.

    “How can you govern a country with so many cheeses?”

    Military would bring more devastation. And who would rule us then?

    That’s not saying lie down and give up. We are all doing our best to delay the inevitable.

    The world is changing. Maps are being redrawn. Boundaries are being changed. Alliances are changing. Relationships, military/civilian are becoming more symbiotic. And suffering is increasing for no other reason except for dominance.

    Like the Gazans and the Sudanese and the Congolese, we hope for a break so we can catch our breath. For what happens to them, can happen to us.

    Yet people will keep voting in our corrupt NWO criminal corporation politicians!

    Bring on the new constitutional ‘Republic of Australia’

    Military is the only way Q!

  9. The whole world is becoming totalitarian. The law, including International Law is becoming irrelevant. Judges’ rulings are ignored. Australia is slowly heading that way. Wait till after the election.
    Watch this space. The rise of Germany under Chancellor Merc will surprise many.

    I have been reading about the young leaders in various parts of Africa who once rose up to put the people first. Where are they now? Murdered.
    Message: Conform or die.
    May God protect you Senator Babet.

  10. Have the clowns wanting to build electricity producing windmills in the open ocean any idea of the ferocity of the sea during storms. We have seen these contraptions collapse on solid ground on land. I wouldn’t think they could withstand much of a storm. After all even Nature’s own features are sometimes brought down by her own force.

  11. And another example of the rare Australian Senators putting people first and trying to stop the totally corrupted system. – See Senator Gerrard Rennick.

  12. In my opinion there are no reliable official “fact checkers”, only those of us who can be bothered to investigate reality. Don’t we remember the information from the “fact checkers” during the Covid-19 scam? Of course we do. To borrow a phrase which will be used next week at ceremonies, “we shall remember them”.

    Aren’t the ABC and its affiliates supposed to supply a true and balanced format to the Australian public, if anybody is still watching or listening to their programs ?

  13. All the sheeple still watching ABC are more than likely on the 20th Booster. SV40 will thin the herd.

  14. Pat from Vic.
    You have said elsewhere another 8 years of this.
    What is the significance of 8 years and year 2032?

  15. Planting wind farms in the ocean is insane, they clearly have no idea how much maintenance is involved in coastal structures and machinery, and an unlimited budget.
    But expect even more rubbish from crooked ABC-TV when Handsome Boy Elbow takes home the prize, leaving the opposition “in the lurch”. Handsome boy was selected and his mysterious daddy will get him through. He already got in last time when the blue party just keeled right over, assisted by Baron Simon’s Teals Party. But handsome boy is ready for a tough run. And he is prepared to borrow as much money from the RBA and anywhere to get the job done. People like Michaelia Cash mush be wondering “when will this nightmare be over”.
    Climate change is being pushed hard on virtually every crooked ABC-TV program, report and promo. The voters of Melbourne are bloody hopeless and the candidates even worse so expect a compostable mess in the senate, and the unrepresentative swill of the lower house to remain much the same.
    As for picking on National Socialists or Nazis they should decide which they are, it’s like conflating the DLP and ALP. The NS was a guy named Rohm and the Nazis were that other fellow, who was planted in the NS by Swissy.
    A current piece on the ALP-DLP split perhaps more relevant now the Blue faction of the Unaparty has split off into Baron Simon’s Light Blue fake independents.
