Caroline Overington still M.I.A.

Journalist Caroline Overington appeared again in The Australian online opinion pages briefly in December 2007.
This is the last Google reference I can find after her spectacular, intrusive participation in the November 2007 federal election process which caused that newspaper to issue a public apology.
Overington's career is shaping up to be the lasting journalistic train wreck of the Howard era.
All the other media neo-cons are slowly clawing their way back towards relevancy.
Except for the likes of Piers Akerman (The Daily Telegraph), Gerard Henderson (The Sydney Morning Herald) and Janet Albrechtsen (The Australian) who are irredeemable if their latest efforts are any indication.

Funnily enough I was searching through trying to find if she had reappeared as yet when I found your post... the only mention in recent history it would seem.

Well, as least two people noticed... however, probably not for the reasons Caroline might hope!

Maybe she has gone off to write another book... about political opponents in love and a triangle with a half-witted journo maybe?!?! I wonder how it would end.

There's been two bits in the "Tips" section of Crikey about it in recent days. One simply said she hadn't posted to her blog since 23 Nov, the other claims News Ltd got rid of her due to Rupert being ambushed at the News Ltd AGM with questions about her.
