Dirty tricks or dirty politics?


Is Kevin Rudd prevaricating over Ute-gate or is it Malcolm Turnbull who is telling pork pies?
Well..................ask yourself who was it that recently had a merchant bank pay an
out-of-court settlement on his behalf, after the liquidator took them to court over the HIH collapse amid accusations of of deception?
With software freely available on the Internet which allows anyone to produce and send a genuine looking email as someone else, I would also be asking for access to the Libs' computers to double-check any 'proof' the Coalition might present.
Fer gawds sake - I could send a fake email as the PM tomorrow and have any reply routed to another address entirely.
So could most Internet users on the NSW North Coast.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Truffles may not have been as smart as he thought.
A small clue might've been the fact that the mate didn't get financial help after all.
But then, maybe I'm a bit biased 'cause I'm plain terrified of the idea of that drongo (who when he was last in government tried to rip-off our North Coast water supplies) ever getting back in the saddle again.

Did the editor's dog eat his homework?

How does one account for the Comment in today's Daily Examiner by its editor Peter Chapman?

In a piece titled Banks law unto themselves Chapman has simply reproduced, word-for-word, a media statement released by Senator Steve Fielding.

Okay, let's give Chapman some credit. He acknowledged it was Fielding's work and to make things easier for his readers he turned one paragraph that consisted of two sentences into two one-sentence paragraphs.

Perhaps the editor's dog ate his homework and when it came time to hand up his copy for today's paper he had nothing.

Let's hope other journos at The Daily Examiner don't follow Chapman's lead and simply rehash media statements.

Oh, by the way, Fielding's media statement can be read here.
