Sydney Morning Herald - Sept 12, 2009

The Age - Sept 12, 2009

This journalist deliberately perpetrates stories which are errors of fact, but has her own brand of sarcasm and seeks to be malicious.  Even with the opportunities to verify facts, she fails to do so and plagiarises the tabloid media, thus continuing the errors.  To do so when she know they are incorrect, smacks of gross dishonesty.  You are unlikely to be contacted as she can better fabricate  a story if she is not deliberately informed that it is false.

Herald Sun - Sept 24, 2009

This venemous journalist has never succeeded at any of the positions she has occupied, in the print or electronic media.  Her most famous achievement to date has been the collapsing (some say "feigning") in front of the camera.  It is amazing that the editors of the Herald Sun continue to publish her articles, which are vicious and add nothing to any subject she chooses to ramble about.

Undertakings by this person cannot be accepted.  Despite speaking to the subject in detail, important factual evidence was not published, so perpetuating tabloid myths.  No person, exercising care, should allow themselves to be interviewed.  The editor of the newspaper ignores complaints made, regardless of their impact to the article.

Herald Sun - 24 September, 2009 (repeat)

The title 'business affairs editor" appears under his name, but his articles display an appalling lack of any business knowledge.  There is no doubt that despite his ability to confirm a proposed story as being factual, he is not disposed to do so.  This allows him to write a story embellished with incorrect facts, and worsened by ommission of explanations, which instantaneously destroys the foundation of the story.  The public should be aware that this 'journalist' and his editors set out to deliver a sensational story, more often than not, as a lead news story but deliberately avoid enquiring of the truth of the matter.

This author  pretends to be the author of articles which have an intellectual quality.  However, he does not do even the basic research, and repeats errors of fact which are the staple of the tabloids.  He made no attempt to obtain correct facts from his subject, and this allows him to maintain the sarcastic vitriolic approach which punctuates virtually every sentence of his inane juvenile articles.
