Little outrage over this as Rupert Murdoch's vile Sydney newspaper went into an orgy of woe about an alleged murderer.
Reading this diatribe, the victim barely gets a mention- it's all about the sad shooter languishing in jail. Cue gormless town mayor & local MP to jump on bandwagon..saintly farmer & family man forced to a dramatic action under pressure.
Victim's family doesn't even get a look-in.
Now the tale falls apart & apologies to the victim's family? Not on you Nellie-get stuffed- we write the news.
As police announce and confirmed by a witness, the dead victim, a Government Environmental Officer (complete co-incidence of course with News/Murdoch's hatred of anything "green") was no-where near saintly grand-dads; property but had stopped on a country road on an unrelated matter when "saintly grand-dad" and alleged shooter pumped 4 bullets in his back and one in the back of his head as he stumbled away.
