Do this generation's female journalists lack talent? : Comments
By Mark Christensen, published 13/5/2013Loudly and proudly dismissing Barker as cheap and nefarious protects political interests, in this case gender equality, from cold, hard reality.

There once was a Minister called Ros,
The Village Idiot is what she's known as,
Who just happened to be thick with Disaster,
The one called the General that is,
Her son she did place in a job,
For which he was neither eligible,
Nor qualified as we did find later,
When queried about his appointment;
The Idiot did claim he had merit;
However the merit this clown did possess,
Was being the son of a goose.
Actually the clown has just recently resigned & dropped out of sight, conveniently as it turns out because a CMC inquiry into the appointment is expected to produce a rather uncomlimentary report on nepotism by Newman / Seeney / Nicholls. This isn't by any means the only example of cushy / overpaid jobs for friends & family of LNP ministers, the General put one of his mates into a high level gubmunt position that its doubtful the appointee ever attended. Mind you that didn't stop him claiming quite a few hundred grand from the public purse. The Village Idiot went one better by appointing one of her cronies into another plum position despite the conflict of interest consequent to the person already consulting to the same entity. Pretty good getting TWO pay packets for doing the same job ?? Still one can't argue the 'merit' issue, any friend or associate of a minister obviously has that in spades !
