You lost me when you endorsed the opposition at the last state election. Published their press releases as journalism and didn’t hold them to account with their dud policies, eg ditching safe schools. Holding to account is fine, just has to be consistent.

I meant you printed the Libs press releases as stories before the last election, and endorsed the bigots. By all means hold the gov to account but please don’t go the way of Murdoch media, catering for the lowest common denominator & gotcha journalism instead of proper analysis.
