In the week prior to the 2020 Summit our own dear Sydney Daily Telegraph led a blowtorch attack on a barrister in the middle of a ever serious murder trial, about an under age sex/rape case over 6 months previously, based on arguably misonceived complaint initiated by ... the NSW Attorney General always keen to pursue what ABC doyen Quentin Dempster calls "popular authoritarianism". There is a Big Press spat between SMH and SDT naming eachother about integrity of reportage over this very matter going on since at least last Friday. I wouldn't follow a News Ltd clone to the p*sser let alone how to organise a country.

So, yes, I was there, in the back, the fool scribbling in a notebook and stealing scones.
