Commanding the Narrative - Newsletter 50 - Is a Political Realignment Taking Place?

As the Liberal Party and the Coalition continue to fall apart in front of our eyes, it seems that a political realignment on the right side of politics is taking place.

If the polls are anything to go by, the Liberal vote is falling into the toilet, with seemingly the majority of disaffected Liberals turning to One Nation.

Government intervention - or lack thereof - played a role in Australia's manufacturing decline, through a complex mix of factors.

Historically, Australian governments supported manufacturing, including Adelaide’s automotive sector, through tariffs and subsidies.

Most of all, there was nothing spoken of the deep structural reforms that need to take place with our system of Government itself.

Commanding the Narrative - Newsletter 45 - Shadow Banned No More? Commanding the Narrative Triples Its Audience on Facebook

A couple of weeks ago I received a notification from Facebook to say they were going to increase our reach to the public. I took that as doublespeak for ‘we’re not going to shadow ban you as badly now’.

The result was very interesting.
