Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon quits Shadow cabinet: “Labor has lost touch with traditional working people” and “Labor has made not one contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in this country in 14 years”
The ABC it is then.My money would be on the party with a pattern of deceptive behaviour.
That's quite a loss to the ALP. One of the few who still recognizes the party's roots.Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon quits Shadow cabinet: “Labor has lost touch with traditional working people” and “Labor has made not one contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in this country in 14 years”
Now there's this:Porter's comment:
“The journalist, Louise Milligan, never contacted me or my office, despite my awareness that for many months she has been directly contacting friends, former colleagues, former students – even old school friends from the mid-1980s – asking for rumours and negative comments about me"
4 Corners allege he refused to comment but did they give him the opportunity?
One of them is lying and my money is on the taxpayer funded version of Today Tonight.
According to the journalist this morning a list of questions was sent to him a couple of weeks ago which he refused to respond to and that was followed up on a number of occasions. The contact was from the other journalist on the story as Louise Milligan dealt with Tudge's office. So technically Porter is correct, Louise Milligan didn't contact his officePorter's comment:

If it happened then yes it is a contravention.OK not harassment exactly but an abuse of power and contravening of the ministerial code of conduct set up by this government.
Twitter?
same reason we had one in 1930, 1950 etc etc, To deliver news and analysis in an unconflicted, disinterested way. It doesn't pander to anyone, thats the point. If you want to consume media that is the mouthpiece of anti-science right-wing pathological tycoons with undeniable vested interests, go ahead.Why in 2020 do we even have a taxpayer funded media outlet ? If the people who the ABC pander to want their content they should pay for it via a subscription base.
I'll stand corrected but I believe these incidents took place before the code of conduct was implemented. That is not to excuse the alleged behaviour.OK not harassment exactly but an abuse of power and contravening of the ministerial code of conduct set up by this government.
Yes I think there is definitely a place for a taxpayer funded ABC. I find that sometimes its probably not as impartial as it could be but overall does a pretty good job.same reason we had one in 1930, 1950 etc etc, To deliver news and analysis in an unconflicted, disinterested way.

It doesn't say much for the other news providers, the ABC is Australia's most trusted news provider.The ABC it is then.
They did explain that the program was about sitting MP's in government who are also influencing policyI’ll await the expose on Billy Shorten screwing his staff.
oh wait, only Libs MPs screw their staff...
Twitter?
No, it’s 2020 not 1930, 1950 etc when there were less outlets for people to obtain their information. The internet revolutionised this. And sure, I’ll consume my right wing media but I’m paying for it, not getting a left wing biased view on the taxpayer $.same reason we had one in 1930, 1950 etc etc, To deliver news and analysis in an unconflicted, disinterested way.

Morrison never answers hard questions.Scott Morrison just keeps talking when asked about Porter/Tudge. yak yak yak, off he goes, the sewer pipe in full flow, claiming the credit for Covid, Prosperity Bible in hand... what a tool ... like most of them ..
It must be a coincidence then the Australia's emissions started dropping about 2007 and continued to drop until the emissions trading scheme was scrapped.Labor MP Joel Fitzgibbon quits Shadow cabinet: “Labor has lost touch with traditional working people” and “Labor has made not one contribution to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in this country in 14 years”
who cares what the outlet is? Its about conflicts of interest, vested interest. We need disinterested media that is owned by the people more than ever.No, it’s 2020 not 1930, 1950 etc when there were less outlets for people to obtain their information. The internet revolutionised this. And sure, I’ll consume my right wing media but I’m paying for it, not getting a left wing biased view on the taxpayer $.
