Thanks for bothering to check the facts Graham. It often exposes Steelie pushing his narrative with fake news.

Dear Graham Young,

Permit me to try your approach in framing my response and see how it looks. Mind you it is certainly not how I would have written it but it is worth the exercise.

Start

Well look here, true to form, Graham Young has come in swinging with another falsehood. He somehow claims there was a picture accompanying the story about evacuations in Thursday's edition of the Australian. Yet all he had to do was to open the reference I clearly provided and look at the graphic used by the Guardian which included the page in question and he would have seen no such photo existed. The question becomes did he wilfully ignore the link or the graphic. Protecting the Liberal brand seems to ride roughshod over other considerations.

Finish

A tad unedifying isn't it.

Setting this aside and returning to the substance of your response to me, from what Is Mise has indicated there may well have been a later version which you are describing, and from the link you provided this would seem to be the case. But it doesn't allow you to lay a charge of saying the Guardian article was completely false at all.

Finally, I would like to hear from you any examples which would back up this assertion from you;

“I'm used to a certain level of dishonesty from Steele.”

Steele a right wing bias is evident on this chat site, something that we should expect, considering the moderator is a politically active conservative. You asked; I would like to hear from you any examples which would back up this assertion from you; (that) “I'm used to a certain level of dishonesty from Steele.” You may get an answer, you may not, but don't hold your breath.

The ABC coverage of this bushfire disaster has been first class. The Murdoch rag, who cares, it appeals to the bottom dellers and knuckle draggers. What they read is the guff that Murdoch feeds them, and they are well satisfied.

Did anyone see the crass political advertising by Morrison, at taxpayers expense, on social media of his great efforts in dealing with this fire disaster? It was released shortly after his very late announcement of federal government action to assist the states in dealing with the disaster.

Morrison has shown himself to be a part of the problem, rather than anything to do with the solution. Trying to paint himself as a super hero when he is no such thing, shows what a dunce we have for a Prime Minister. The front line troops recognise it, now the people are starting to recognise it as well.

Thoroughgoing ratbag and ignoramus, Jeremy Clarkson, advises that "God didn't want people to live in Australia". He doesn't believe in the climate change theory, and thinks "something biblical is going on". At least he got the climate change nonsense right. Act of God/biblical/not fit for human habitation? It's a bit late that sort of conjecture.

Other ignoramuses closer to home, including failed PM and killer pink bats man, Kevin Rudd, are "slamming" Morrison's announcement that he is putting 3,000 military reservists into the field. That's political advertising, they yap. Not that the Left's constant criticism of the man is political, of course! These fires have brought out the very worst in the Australian looney Left. We don't need some Pommy peanut like Clarkson making stupid comments while we have these trashy locals.
