The ABC used to have a reputation for independence and the truth but since Howard this cannot be still said of them. They now appear very much in the Mrdoch camp so god help us for any independent media in Australia. Anything from the Murdock camp will be simply all spin as is most of their other media.

Paddy, you took the words out of my mouth about “Australia’s leading political commentator David Speers”. David who?

I think it is relevant to note that, according to his website, “The Pay TV clients of Peter J. Cox & Associates have included many of the parties in Pay TV in Australia.”

Crikey, you should not be providing a forum for people who are just pushing their own interests (or those of their clients), and presenting it as if it is independant comment.
