Welcome, new content creators of the 47th Parliament

Yesterday we lamented the departure of the great traders in the outrage economy from the last Parliament — George Christensen, Eric Abetz, Craig Kelly et al — and with them, plenty of great content. We determined we would find replacements, with your help.

Our first candidate was Jacinta Price, the Warlpiri/Celtic woman whose deeply conservative views on Indigenous issues in particular at the very least guarantee her reams of coverage in the hard-right nooks of the Murdoch empire. But we need more, much more. Here are a few more to keep an eye on:

And it’s promising that teal MP Monique Ryan — who snapped up Kooyong at the expense of former treasurer Josh Frydenberg — announced today that Sally Rugg, former campaign director with grabby content experts GetUp, is her chief of staff.
