Why Cookers Are Just Normal People | The West Report

by | Sep 1, 2026 | The West Report


On mainstream media, troll armies and venal ‘influencers’. Australians are manipulated, punching each other horizontally while the boot comes down vertically. The labels and identity politics – commies, RWNJs, cookers and Leftards – are just a convenient distraction so we don’t challenge what real power and money are doing.

Albo & co are not ‘far left’, they are classic neo-liberals captive to vested interests – fossil fuels, gambling and media interests and so forth. As for Dave Hughes’ ‘extreme left’ claims and Pauline Hanson’s constant migrant bashing, all this misses the point … the stealthy march to authoritarian democracy, ‘trickle up economics’, fuelled by corporate media.

Corporate media punches down, distracts. At MWM we punch up, and will continue to follow the money. #auspol
