I like the opening description of The Australian
in Bernard Keane's column today:
The Australian’s smear campaign against the Prime
Minister hasn’t had a lot of new material lately. Having devoted months
and acres of newsprint to investigating the minutiae of what Julia
Gillard did in the 1990s and not turned up a single actual claim of
wrongdoing, the brains trust at Holt St must be ruing that after such a
big investment of resources in smearing her, all they got for their
troubles was a few points’ fall in her approval rating.
Still, The Oz didn’t get where it is today — a
dying paper for angry old conservative men — without a willingness to
flog a dead horse. So today, it carried over 1000 words on the AWU
matter about how there’s “a prima facie case that she could have been charged”, by one Terry O’Connor.
no-one was in a better position than the counsel assisting the RC and he found nothing.
ReplyDeletethe OZ is pathetic
Chick opens bullshit association for bloke she is doing and gets cash, fails to tell bosses and gets sacked. Clearly leadership material in the ALP.
