SM,
Piers Akerman's attacks on our former PM, Julia Gillard, is an example of "good journalism" is it? His attacks were personal and relentless. Yet I have never heard your criticising The Australian newspaper for that sort of behaviour. On the contrary you empathesied the credential of their reporters. Therefore your arguments concerning New Matilda can't be taken seriously. Stephen Conroy has ever right as an MP to ask questions because as I stated earlier a man has been killed while in the government's care. And as has been pointed out we do need to know why this happened and how we can stop it from happening again. We should not be wasting time in another Liberal/Labor tit-for-tat. But of course this is a great diversion for the government and as always they'll milk it for all it's worth including bringing patriotism into it. As Federal Opposition leader Bill Shorten stated: "They say that patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrals. And we have been seeing that truism yet again with the government. Australians that put us here deserve a bit better than the kindergarten flag waving, faux patriotism which you guys want to wrap yourselves around." There are questions to answer and politicians should keep asking them. Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 1 March 2014 8:54:48 AM

Truth forces me Foxy to say Julia Gillard may yet see trouble ahead.
An email circulated by at least one Labor insider warns of this. Paul I agree with your thoughts but why feed a troll? The link above needs addressing, it truly should be Conservatives who do so. I know, and so do they, how far NSW Labor slipped to think a real chance exists to make Big Barry a once- er is truly stunning. Remember it is voters not me saying this. No party that is afraid to l0pok at its own troubles can ever be fit to rule. Conroy at his very best, is suited only to enter any parliament with a mop or broom in his hands.

Dear Belly,
I'm not in a position to make judgements about Stephen Conroy except to continue to stress that Conroy's comments may have been impolite, but the thrust of his questions were legitimate and he was entitled to make them. The following link is a rather good one on the topic: http://www.canberratimes.com.au/federal-politics/political-opinion/stephen-conroy-was-targeting-politics-in-play-not-angus-campbell-20140227-33mjj.html Posted by Foxy, Saturday, 1 March 2014 1:09:54 PM

Foxy,
I don't particularly follow Piers, and so have no particular idea to exactly what you are referring. Perhaps a link would help. However, after Juliar gave Australia an absolute iron clan guarantee that there would be a carbon tax under her government and then ditched her promise in a few weeks, she showed herself to be a dishonest back stabbing weasel beyond contempt to most Australians. Trying to compare her to the straight down the line, high integrity General Campbell is disingenuous in the extreme. Juliar was so despised that Australians even preferred the return (if temporarily) of the buffoon Rudd. Posted by Shadow Minister, Saturday, 1 March 2014 3:58:01 PM

I am sorry you feel like that. Have a nice day.
