Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics - ABC Insiders Slides Right (sh.itjust.works)

Just watched the Insiders on the ABC.

There was a nano-second graphic depicting Australia wide energy prices with WA on $25 and SA on $79 dollars and other states at various multiples of the WA price, quite a shocking data set if anybody was allowed time to even read it!

I have known for a while that the eastern states businesses and media make extensive efforts to hide the WA/eastern states price disparity from the people in the east, but this subliminal data flick takes it to a whole new level.

This was soon followed by another bullshit graphic depicting how immigration shot up after COVID.

As immigration stopped virtually during COVID this is a completely misrepresentation and manipulative us of immigration data.

The decline of the ABC as a credible news source is complete!

Leni Riefenstahl will be pleased it has now become just another Murdoch clone.

Admittedly I wasn't paying 100% attention but I'm pretty sure I saw a report on ABC news last night where Alan Kohler had graphs to extremely strongly imply that the birth rate decline was the fault of mobile phones...
