Once upon an Australian Press

[mellie]

This topic requires nothing more than for you all to take a stroll down memory lane, it wasn't that long ago, and it's not too late to turn back.

Read the headlines, even the concern for Australians iodine deficiency is in there.

Back when we were allowed to talk about things that mattered to every day Australians.

I will just add, I made a point of saving this document.

Before like so many, it gets ajaxed too.

And what's worse, i'm starting to wonder why Abbott, a former Murdoch Journalist himself has sat on his hands and said very little, if anything at all about a number of issues pertinent to our consolidated press.

The Heather Kennett saga is just one example, few people having read about it outside SA.

He can sit there stuttering like noddy behind the picket line or he can make a difference where it needs to matter most right now.

Information is power, without it we are unable to have an opinion on the matter, much less change it.

Be honest, had any of you heard of Heather Kennett before now?


Don't feel ignorant, there's a perfectly valid reason for why you didn't.

Hinch was media flogged, Ricky Nixon too.....but when a Heather Kennett does it we turn the other way.

And I will just add, what Heather Kennett did, and is still doing, is far more depraved than what Hinch and Nixon did put together, words escape me really, the filthy thing.
