About this episode

The episode discusses how Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is using division among Australians to deflect criticism during the fuel crisis.

It's deliberate. Strategic. Politicians have a strong self-preservation instinct and the best way to deflect criticism is to divide the population and turn them against each other.That is exactly what Australia's Prime Minister is doing over the fuel crisis, blaming it on everyday families who are 'hoarding' fuel.This is how he does it: set up a false binary and invite viewers to self identify with a noble majority, channel all anger toward a hated and imaginary minority, then threaten the noble majority with pain so they blame it on the minority.It's the identical public relations playbook deployed during Covid. And it works.Here's how, here's why, and here's the video that obliterates your excuse for not knowing how politicians are manipulating you against your fellow Australian.
