MALCOLM Turnbull has accused the media and politicians of treating Aussie battlers with contempt by dumbing down complex issues into "one-line soundbites".
Speaking at the Woodford Folk Festival in Queensland, the federal member for Wentworth slammed broadcasters and politicians for using "glib one-liners" with the public.
"Broadcasters or politicians or writers who think that they are respecting struggle street, the battlers, by dumbing things down into one-line soundbites are not respecting them, they are treating them with contempt," Mr Turnbull told festival-goers on Thursday.
"It's our job above all in politics to tackle the big issues and to explain them.
"We have to deal in facts and not spin."
The standard of political debate in Australia had slipped in the past year, Mr Turnbull said.
He said politicians were being drawn into "the game of politics as opposed to the responsibility of dealing with the big issues of our time".
At one point in the 11-minute monologue, Mr Turnbull singled out Treasurer Wayne Swan for spreading "misinformation" in federal parliament.
Mr Turnbull also said it has never been easier for people in public life "to get away with telling lies".
"It has never been easier to get away with the glib one-liner," he added.
