Christian Kerr, an Australian political staffer turned political commentator, who has written for the email news service Crikey and now writes rubbish for Murdock's fish wrapper, The Australian. In 2008 he joined the "journalistic" staff of Rupert Murdoch's fish wrapper The Australian. Kerr worked as a staffer to Howard government cabinet members Robert Hill, Amanda Vanstone. He worked for Amanda Vanstone one of the all time klutzes of federal parliament. Vanstone could make Flo Bjelke Petersen look intelligent, pumpkin scones and all.
So Kerr is his own "sauce"?
What organisation owns The Australian and what organisation was behind the criminal phone hacking in the UK. Beach is there a link to The Australian on that scandal, or did Rupert apply the gag

With respect Paul I am not going to join you in that swamp.

Christian Kerr worked for Crikey for a long period and that alone should indicate to most that he is able to report and discuss with adequate independence. What journalist would regard being headhunted by The Australian as a slur against his name?

What about the lies that Shoebridge and the other Greens told about Brian Boyle that caused him to seek to have his side put before the Parliamentary Committee?

Either he is a liar or Shoebridge is, and Boyle did not have the protection of Parliamentary Privilege.

Boyle spoke the truth and there is ABC video evidence that he did so and that the Greens lied.

Quote:" Mr Boyle denied saying the words Buckingham attributed to him, and pointed out that the area he was in during an ABC television interview was clear, as can be seen in the footage.
He detailed a number of other incorrect and misleading statements made by the Greens MLCs, who are protected by parliamentary privilege from any potential legal action over their comments.
Mr Boyle’s full right of reply, which has now been accepted in the Hansard record, can be found on the NSW parliament website." unquote.

The watermelons believe that the ends justify the means.

Apart from that, Shoebridge is just copying Lee Rhiannon's choices of the buttons to press to get that few percent of the serially upset's vote in order to continue to polish a parliamentary seat whining and doing nothing productive.

A good job if you can get it.

How many foxes has Shoebridge eradicated?
How many have the Green's parliamentary representatives got rid of?
How many foxes has the entire Green's membership got, road kills included?

I'll ask about feral cats, deer, wild dogs, pigs and cane toads later.

"What journalist would regard being headhunted by The Australian as a slur against his name?" Beach, you can not use the words quality newspaper and Rupert Murdoch in the same sentence. All No News Corp publishes in Australia are trashy tabloids and gutter rubbish. I'm sure even a "journalist" like Kerr has his price. Fortunately in Sydney we have a reasonable publication for real news in The Sydney Morning Herald and for unbiased and fair reporting of the facts there is always the ABC.
