Howard didn't, Rudd didn't and Gillard doesn't.<br />Better still - no media - no problem, which is the point made in my original post. Also there is no risk of diggers being used as political propaganda if the media isn't present.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203110337754630589.post-66142806844811007792011-02-10T06:45:22.578+10:002011-02-10T06:45:22.578+10:00What do I reckon?

Abbott had banned footage from the media as he didn't want images of his firing weapons to get into the hands of the media.<br /><br />Was this the catalyst for Riley to go sniffing for some news by using FOI to get some footage?<br /><br />Riley denies he ambushed Abbott as he informed Abbott's people about the interview and what he was going to ask.<br /><br />What he did do was infer that Abbott's shit happens comment referred to the death of an Australian soldier.<br /><br />I think Abbott was stunned by this. What was going through Abbott's mind? Should I deck him or headbutt him would be my guess.<br /><br />C7 that night referred to Abbott's insensitive comments as an intro to Riley's piece for the evening news, and yes two more gotchas.<br /><br />They made sure that they showed the full 24 seconds of silence and they edited the shit happens footage that omits two senior military members agreeing with him.<br /><br />Gutter journalism.<br /><br />A six months old story introduced in a way to embarrass Abbott.<br /><br />A beatup 1735099?<br /><br />Abbott didn't lay a hand on him, pity.cavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338928424789193611noreply@blogger.com
