One thing we can be certain of this week in the run-down to Bennelong. The ALP/ABC will pull every string to minimise and manage any damage to Kenealley's chances. Stories like this too big to ignore will be skillfully handled and binned - just like Shortens weekend el-Quicko TransTasman date with NZ PM to make sure PM Ardern did not cruel Shortens pitch with a stumble into the Manus mess.
Does anybody recall how the Vic health Minister called somebody a c..t and that was quickly mentioned then as quick consigned to media dustbin.
I know KK's past links to Eddie Obeid have been mentioned in media - but in this critical week that issue is quiet as a tomb.
Remember the photos of Skye Kakoschke-Moore.... groping the breast of a Halle Berry figure during a visit to a Las Vegas waxworks museum in 2009.
Imagine the ongoing media screams if Abbott or Bernardi had groped a statue - or called somebody a c. - or had been a past mate of Eddie Obeid or had been connected with Chinese donations. Remember Abbott Abbott Abbott for years.
Imagine what the media would do if John Alexander had connections to Eddie Obeid.
We are indeed a manipulated nation of suckers.
