This manufactured AusPost fiasco is a total non-issue.

This article is symbolic of the deferential, unquestioning gullibility of the mediocrity we have as political journalists in Australia.

Not a word questioning why this theatrical debacle has unfolded.

Just this pantomime👇🏽
Have you seen the release of Barnaby's "drought report"?

Have you seen Gaetjens totally non-existent sports rorts "report"?

Nope and no.

That's because the Morrison government only release reports that help them to push an agenda.

Like this one - privatising Australia Post.
Who did Tom McIlroy speak to to gain this inside knowledge? A member of the Morrison government comms team of course.

Are we to presume then that this information is totally neutral and not at all being pushed to further the govt's agenda?

No - but many will read it as gospel.
The Morrison govt also want to weasel out of a costly pay-out they will have to confront with local post office franchisees.

It could cost the federal govt a fortune.

What better way than to bang up a report that tells the public how "awful" this #AusPost organisation is.
