Journalists exhibit 'false equivalence' by treating opposition spokespeople as equivalent to ministers of the government.Shadow 'ministers' are really only shadow 'spokespersons' as they're not sworn in as Ministers, have no Ministry, no Ministerial duties, no Department #auspol

@Penelope Good post. The arse licking by Australian media of the federal opposition is astounding. More people need to call this out.

@Penelope Shadow ministers are there to give an alternative point of view where they wish.A government without an opposition is a dictatorship & invariably leads to poor governance. #Auspol

@Neil1808 yes they are , but the point I was making was that the media are referring to them as ministers they are not they have no portfolio no ministerial duties
