In the debut episode of The Ministry of Media Podcast, we dive into the world of misinformation and media narratives. Using the extraordinary claim that South Australian Liberal Opposition Leader, Ashton Hurn, made on a recent 2 Worlds Collide podcast as a case study, we investigate claims about renewable energy, electricity prices, and South Australia’s push toward a 100% renewable grid. Are power bills really set to increase sixfold? Is renewable energy actually responsible for high electricity prices? We also dive into how charts and real data can be manipulated to fit a chosen narrative, and reveal the lie that the new federal opposition, the LNP with Angus Taylor and Jane Hume, have been spreading about immigration numbers under the Labor party. Importantly we don’t just tell you about it, we show you the process of how we get behind the misinformation and pull apart the deception. Instead of repeating headlines, we break down the claims and follow the evidence.
