This week

Abbott’s deficit tax. Sacrifice or suicide?

My guest: Amanda Vanstone, former Howard Government minister and member of the Commission of Audit.

The panel: Michael Kroger and Cassandra Wilkinson.

NewsWatch: Rowan Dean.

So much to discuss: destroying the handout mentality, the deficit tax and growing corruptions scandals. Plus:  the menace of Clive Palmer’s money and the arrest of a man who quoted Churchill in public.

And this: is Labor’s what-budget-crisis? strategy clever politics or a reckless betrayal of the national interest?

Your Say and more.

The videos appear here.

how many defamation cases have there been against Tony Jones?

[idlewhile]

The sign of a good investigative and courageous journalist is the defamation suits brought against them.

If we didn't have the journalists who are brave enough to put it out there, and the papers who  print what is the truth, we would be capture to all the leftist disgraces who purport to call themselves.......... journalist.

[debra9275]

I would say that a defamation case is a sign that a journalist is talking complete rubbbish

especially when they lose the cases 

[idlewhile]

Before an article is published the editor has it legalled and checked.

Lets hope we are not going to go down the path of other countries which have been silenced by spurious law suits to shut down brave journalists and even braver newspapers.

Newscorp brave? LOL

[idlewhile]

Showing hatred for a free press? Bob Brown must be proud.

Thanks for the morning laughs.

Now I'm convinced that, like the news bulletins, there must be a different version of QandA shown where I live. 

I must say, I prefer our version over the one that has been described above.

Yeah, me too.  Mine always has guests from a broad cross section of people.  Often one from each side of the political divide and we get IPA reps or other business group representatives, such as Kate Carnel, who is often pushing her CCI message on ABC.

Our version has had all members of the Government front bench as far as I know.  I don't call them "rabid leftists" or "racists (sic) dog whistlers.  Even though I disagree with them, in the main, their contributions have been reasonably pleasant.
