Psyber, Psyber, oh dear.
Another conspiracy theory about Salisbury and Don Dunstan.
For goodness sake, ..
Perhaps you could resist the temptation to presume that you are the only one here whose thoughts are pure, unarguably correct and superior

Simply that my wife and a couple of her friends, who all knew Jill Blewett at Adelaide University in those days did not believe she would commit suicide.Leaping Lindner wrote:Psyber what exactly are you suggesting here?Psyber wrote: I also believed my wife who knew Jill Blewett reasonably well at University: "Jill was a devout catholic, she'd never commit suicide."

I'm not suggesting anything specific, as I have no additional source of information, beyond their apparent and clear conviction that she would not commit what would be a mortal sin in her faith.
There are mysteries out there though.
I did have some inside information about the Duncan murder from sources in the RAH at the time, about someone allegedly involved, who wasn't a Vice Squad detective but had friends who were.
I also know of a cover up about how Worrall got a favourable report to assist him getting released from prison before the Truro murders.
I can't say more about those though without dropping old friends into potential trouble over the process of the cover up.
[My wife and I also knew the Mykyta family whose daughter was one of the Truro victims, which made me a bit uncomfortable at the time.]

Did I just read that????
Maybe time for you to sit back and read who has been name calling on this forum. I disagree with Gozu and have been called a right winger and abused from the start. But that has always been part of the Labor Party arsenal in the political arena.

You're offended by the term 'right-wingers'
It can't be 'radicals', because that's what I was originally called.
Obviously your use of 'comrades', etc, isn't generic or offensive.

I only bothered to go back a week on this subject to make my point that you are quite adept at name calling when people disagree with you. If you like, I could search some more to reinforce my point, but I dont think I need to
I am offended by being called a right winger because I am not, but I do disagree with some of the blatant one sided arguments posted on here, and when challenged, the poster abuses and refers to me as an extremist or should I say, radical. I regard being called a right winger as being called an extremist – something I am not.
But, of course, if you do not regard “right winger” as offensive, you would have no problem with the reference to “comrade”, would you? And if you do, then I made my point when I deliberately used the word

There could almost be a case for some form of public funding to support maintaining a genuinely independent alternative, so that there was not only the slant dictated by a proprietor with his personal agenda.Jimmy_041 wrote:I think we all agree that the standards at The Advertiser are terrible and that a one newspaper town is not healthy for anyone.
