🟠 NINE ATTACKS INNOCENT BIANCA COLECCHIA ON NICK MCKENZIE'S 60 MINUTES TO SCARE VOTERS BACK TO THE LIBERALS BECAUSE ONE NATION HAVE A REAL SHOT AT FORMING GOVERNMENT Forget Nine's manufactured inferences and cheap TV drama; if Bianca Colecchia had broken a single law, police would have charged her. Instead, 60 Minutes spent Sunday smearing One Nation's Victorian secretary with a textbook guilt by association hit job. Nine ran direct interference for a struggling Liberal Party desperate to form government without One Nation ahead of the state election, terrified by the very real threat that an untested wild card could actually take power. They did it while pocketing $16.1 million of taxpayers' money from Labor's Journalism Assistance Fund. Nine's own reporting admits twice that Colecchia did nothing wrong. That didn't stop Nine from dragging the name of a young migrant woman, now an Australian citizen, through the mud just to score cheap political points and scare conservative voters back to the Liberals. Nobody is off limits when Nine is trying to get the Liberals across the line. From attacking an organisational secretary who isn't even on the ballot, to dragging a young woman's 2016 death back into the headlines, to maintaining relentless pressure on Ben Roberts-Smith over retrospective laws One Nation alone moved to repeal, Nine's desperate hit job is designed to protect Liberal candidates and uphold their agenda. But modern voters despise transparent media smears, and this strategy will backfire on election day.

🟠 #BREAKING NINE FORGOT TO STRIP THE HIDDEN DATA FROM NICK MCKENZIE'S SEAN BLACK TAPES, AND IT SHOWS WHOEVER RECORDED HIM HAD ALREADY MADE AT LEAST 141 RECORDINGS 🟠 Nine Network tabloid hitman Nick McKenzie dropped a weekend blockbuster targeting One Nation timed right before Victorians head to the polls, using secretly recorded phone chatter from twice sacked ex-staffer Sean Black. It sold its readers "covert recordings", painting the story as if someone Black trusted had betrayed him and handed the tapes to McKenzie. But the network forgot to strip the hidden data out of its own audio files, which shows whoever taped Black had already made at least 141 recordings on that phone before these three. A phone carrying that many recordings looks far more like a journalist's than a mate's, so did Black know exactly who he was talking to? Readers were never told when Black was recorded or when the tapes changed hands, but the same files show all three recordings were already on a computer by 8.41am on Saturday 10 October, four weeks before the story was released. It must be killing McKenzie to watch Ben Roberts-Smith thrive across his feeds, with thousands lining up behind the war hero's Epic 1 Two clothing brand after it sold out sizes within days. And One Nation is the only party standing in the way of McKenzie finishing the job of seeing Roberts-Smith sent to prison, after Pauline Hanson moved the Senate amendment to scrap the backdated war crimes law he's now charged under. Nine now holds 98 minutes of raw tape but released only 98 sliced seconds to manipulate the coverage before Victorians vote and no doubt drip feed the ridiculous statements through for the next three weeks. The big winner from that timing is the intended recipient, Jess Wilson, whose Liberals pick up the voters this Nick McKenzie manages to scare off One Nation, and that suits a network chaired for eight years by former Liberal treasurer Peter Costello just fine.
