EP36 - ABC Australia Day Propaganda: Tony Armstrong’s Grievance Show, Coalition Chaos, Stefanovic Unleashed

from The Mark Pirotta Show · host Mark Pirotta

In this episode of The Mark Pirotta Show, Mark takes aim at the ABC’s Australia Day propaganda, calling out Tony Armstrong’s 25‑minute “grievance show” for pushing myths about invasion, genocide and Indigenous sovereignty while demonising ordinary Australians. He argues the segment parrots imported activist talking points from overseas, weaponises history, ignores inconvenient facts about disease, population growth and funding, and deepens racial division instead of healing it.​Mark also unpacks the collapse of the Liberal–National Coalition after the hate‑speech bill, explaining how Susan Ley’s deal with Labour and the Nationals’ walk‑out expose a hollow, centrist Uni‑Party that has abandoned conservative voters and opened the door for a nationalist, One Nation–style realignment. Along the way he hits themes of Australia Day patriotism, free speech, Indigenous industry rorts, youth crime and the widening gap between taxpayer‑funded elites and everyday Australians just trying to keep a roof over their heads.​👍 Like the video to help more Australians hear this conversation about politics, culture, Australia Day and the future of our country.​💬 Comment — agreement or disagreement welcome (respectfully).
