Anatomy of birth of a “narrative”: 1.Jane Norman chairing Frydenberg’s Press Club address uses her first question to ask if there’ll be a baby bonus. Frydenberg answers population growth will help; 2 Andrew Probyn does after speech cross to Greg Jennett who asks about baby bonus

Probyn just happens to have a photo of Peter Costello & babies; 3. Jane Norman makes baby bonus & silly fertility puns the main focus of her 7pm news piece. Elsewhere questions about superannuation withdrawals as de facto stimulus spending (Probyn being serious)

and whether Libs should acknowledge hypocrisy of their debt & deficit campaign against Labor during GFC & years after. Who orchestrated this silly ABC set-up. Think I have an idea And Twitter thinks Frydenberg suggested having babies. #auspol
