This is it—the final piece examining what “quiet, piggy” really means.
We’ve traced how outrages disappear (Part One) and mapped the nine-year war on women who speak (Part Two). Now we need to understand the broader pattern.
Because what’s happening isn’t chaos. It’s a playbook. Refined over decades. Tested globally. Deployed in America with surgical precision.
The question isn’t whether you’ll recognise the strategy. It’s whether you’ll resist before the window slams shut.
Calling a female reporter livestock isn’t an isolated outburst. It’s the latest chapter in a nine-year campaign to normalize contempt for women who dare to ask uncomfortable questions. Part Two traces the escalation from 2015 to 2025 and shows why women journalists are canaries in the coal mine of fascism.
The President called a female reporter a pig on Air Force One. It took four days for anyone to notice. That’s not an accident—it’s the machinery of forgetting at work. Part One of a three-part investigation into how democracies die through strategic flooding and algorithmic distraction.
When a political party starts throwing around numbers with more zeros than Peter Dutton had votes left in Dickson, you know you’re not getting economic analysis, you’re getting a con job. The Coalition’s $9 trillion net zero scare campaign is the latest instalment in a decades-long franchise of climate hysteria, from Whyalla’s promised obliteration to the $100 lamb roast that never arrived. But this time, the real cost is the one they never mention: the price Australians are already paying for a lost decade of delay, obstruction and weaponised ignorance.
Guardian reporting shows Advance has pumped out at least 44 anti-immigration ads on Meta since the 2025 election campaign began, with more than 1.5 million impressions, drenched in talk of “mass immigration” and “threats” to Australian values. Some Liberal MPs have called the campaign “disturbing” and warned it will poison relations with migrant communities.
Malcolm Turnbull knows the Coalition is trapped in a “fact-free, reality-free culture war” over climate, dictated by Sky News and Murdoch media. He’s right—but what he won’t admit is that state capture extends to Labor too. While Turnbull points fingers at Coalition climate denialism, Labor quietly approves fossil fuel projects that dwarf the Coalition’s rhetoric. Australia is the world’s second-largest exporter of fossil fuel CO₂ emissions, and both major parties are drowning in mining money.
The shutdown’s over, signed away in a late-night ceremony where Trump lambasted Democrats while signing their bill. But for Trump, the real shutdown, the one where American voters close the door on his political future, has only just begun. Turns out the art of the deal doesn’t cover foreclosure.
You cannot reach net zero in 2050 while approving fossil fuel projects that operate until 2070. That’s a 20-year gap. That’s not nuance. That’s not balancing interests. That’s fraud.
Labor approved the Northwest Shelf extension until 2070. Among 30 other projects. All while claiming to take net zero seriously.
The math doesn’t lie. Labor does.
After a 94-seat landslide, Labor demoted constitutional lawyer Mark Dreyfus and promoted Michelle Rowland to Attorney-General. It wasn’t about merit. It was about moving the right components into the right places. An investigation into how the machine matters more than the Constitution.
Australia’s democracy is under siege—not by obvious force, but through dark money and corporate capture. While the Coalition squabbles in party rooms, mining magnates write the real script, turning policy into performance and parliament into purchased theatre.
