An observation;
I have worked in a government department for several years.

Anyone who has worked in government decision making has almost certainly heard the phrase "the Herald Sun test" (i.e if this decision was made public, what would the Herald Sun say about it).

There is also the "pub test", but for all intents and purposes, they are the same.

My point is, this is a really insidious way Murdoch controls government. It's not even about what his papers HAVE written. There's an acknowledged fear of what he WOULD say that quite manifestedly shapes policy.

And for the record, I have literally never heard anyone say "the Guardian/ABC/Age test". It's always the Herald Sun.

Seems obvious to me Testicle Masochist is on about the herd immunity strategy as pushed by conservatives which yeah a lot of idiots still believe in

Herd immunity is a real phenomenon and not just a right wing meme. The way it was pushed early in the pandemic with no one vaccinated and to advocate mass deaths and no lockdowns was stupid

Talking about herd immunity now with the pandemic moving to endemic and 90% of people fully vaccinated is not the same story
