    Bernard Keane Retweeted Juanita Phillips

    The journalists, sub-editors and editors responsible for the Good Bloke lie (white murderers only need apply, thanks) need to be named and shamed. It normalises domestic homicide and perpetuates the "he just snapped" myth about homicidal scum.https://twitter.com/Juanita_Phillip/status/995553636326375424 …

    The “good bloke” descriptor in domestic murder cases is so automatic the headline writer used it even though nobody in the story actually described him that way. pic.twitter.com/BZW0xCDnSF

        If that's a Murdoch tabloid, @alanoakley3 is @NewsCorp's Editorial Director. He is ultimately responsible, and CE @mm_newscorpaus is responsible for making sure Oakley does his job. Murdoch cult members believe 'Good Men' can murder 6 people. If they're white men, of course.

        I honestly don't know why stories like this are even covered. It's a very sad event, which I'm sure will run its proper legal course, etc. I don't see how something like this is in the public interest (apart from the fact it's our biggest mass shooting since Port Arthur)..

        It's not a mass shooting. It's a murder/suicide.

        A mass shooting is when multiple people are killed, whether they're known to the killer or not.

        Very sad business, but that’s right. It was ALSO a murder suicide.

        Which implies someone else (usually women) is responsible for him snapping. Always pushing the blame for men’s actions onto other people. Absolutely disgusting reporting.

        I just saw the father on the news, handnt been allowed access to his kids for years! Sounds like yet another tragedy where the Child Support Agency & Family Court have blood on their hands! A father with access to his children might have seen things to stop this!

        The quote marks are a clue - they're not saying he's a good bloke. If anyone did say it, or similar, it was a neighbour struggling to process a horrible tragedy. The people who should be ashamed are those 1000s of kms away pouncing on those two words and making it the story.

        Damn right on, anyone who commits murder, is nowhere near being a good bloke. anyone who murders their own Children and Grand Children are just Evil.

        What was their religion? I suspect this is more about saving the face of their religion over anything else.

        ‘Scum’ is harsh, but. Take out ‘good’ and this is a bloke who failed to deal with what life presented, as so many others do - we should be asking what we are doing wrong in raising boys/men that they can’t deal with crisis. Your response is symptomatic of the problem.
