The onus is on us all (especially for many of us in the #fediverse) to search for the truth during #AusElection25 and call out the lies, gaslighting and biased propaganda. We owe it to ourselves to know whom and what we will be voting for. The only way lowly peeps like me can do this is by supporting those truth-tellers with a heavier clout than I and #IndependentJournalism is where we mostly find out much of the truth behind our politician’s machinations. I cannot support all independent news platforms, just a couple. But if everyone of us supported just one independent news outlet (like we support our Masto Instances I hope…), the likes of #Murdoch and #Stokes would be that much less successful in brain washing the Austalian electorate by giving ‘air’ to political liars.
