''When the Liberals disposed of Turnbull, they abandoned all pretence of a moral, law abiding government.''
oh they ditched the morals long long before that - IMO, the dismissal was when they lowered the bar dramatically - and, Ozzies supported their moral decline
how bad is this story of the Liberal Party bottom of the barrel scum tactics -------
and how bad a moral base personality is the person who designed it - the corporate lipstick job - man there's some very very very very morally ugly people out there
''Ms Miller said there was a "proliferation" of negative media coverage in late 2016 that was "growing and growing and growing" but it was "predominantly in the left-wing media".
"We weren't too concerned because it wasn't unusual that the left-wing media were attacking us regarding social policy," she said.
Ms Miller told the commission in response to growing criticism, the government adopted a counter-narrative strategy in the "more friendly media" such as the tabloids.
Counsel assisting Justin Greggery KC asked Ms Miller: "You said the media demand was very high … the media was generally adverse … it was heavily critical. Would you say that… the media situation was in crisis mode?"
"Yes, but I didn't think it was not able to be shut down," she replied.
"The prime minister [Malcom Turnbull] was unhappy with the escalating media issue around this [Robodebt] … we were trying to contain it," she said.
"I developed a crisis media strategy at the request of the minister – he was very firm with me that I needed to shut this story down.
"That involved … placing stories with the more friendly media, the right-wing media, about how the Coalition was actually catching people who were cheating the welfare system."
