In an article way back in 2015 I noted that the faux-progressive website "Independent Australia" was independent of "Quality control, consistency, accuracy and editorial skill." Has it got better since? Well no, if a recent attempt to soothe reader concerns about the One Nation surge is any guide, it seems to have got even worse. I've decided to write a whole piece about this trainwreck to explain how abysmal IA's standards are and why nobody should be enabling their output in any way.
