Was listening to Airport Comms on the scanner, talk about chaos.

And as predicted the Sunday Crimes had the box about the amount of officers involved, compared what other crimes would’ve been investigated.

One small problem with that – the Fraud Squad is a SPECIALIST Squad, ands they don’t investigate bashings etc, plus the CCC referred the matter to the Fraud Squad as they had the necessary skills to investigate paper trails.

It was interesting Carps commented on the raid from Siberia. Is he investigating gulags as a possible destination for wayward journos?

we have reached the stage where even those people who want to leak documents to damage the govt can’t trust the West to do it properly

I see the West finally acknowledged the raid in Sat’s paper, with two pieces.

however they managed not to mention the Sunday Times, just a “media outcry” (not including them) about a raid on “another newspaper”

they were not particularly indignant about the raid per se, more that other media decried the raid but did not complain about previous government attacks on the West.

they neglect several key differences between the raid on the ST, and McGinty’s sledging of the West:

1. The ST had a genuine scoop about a story of real interest, whilst the West had fabricated non-stories

2. The police were involved at the ST, with the possibility of charges being laid against journos, but with regard to teh West all McGinty did was say: “you’re crap and I don’t want to talk to you”

[On a West-related note, Liberal First Mate Bishop has come out in support of the Stokes bid to fix the West. ]

I have to laugh at people in the comments section who call Stokes a “Labor Stooge”, when in fact he’s a member of the Liberal Party’s 500 Club :-)

On a West-related note, Liberal First Mate Bishop has come out in support of the Stokes bid to fix the West. Calling the online content “pedestrian at best,” and complaining that a boom state monopoly paper should be better, Bishop felt that the fact that shareholders weren’t considering the needs of the consumers was, well, a feckin’ outrage.
