More demonstration of their unashamed bias. As bad as The Australian is for the right. We need more non partisan publications with a focus on integrity of news publishing. Newspapers have always had op-ed pages, that’s where opinions should be left, not in the articles. This is a fact the Nine Newspapers have long abandoned and their bias certainly doesn’t align with the conspiracy theory of news fitting the wishes of Chairman Peter Costello. ---
