That's what I thought when I read the article, what a load of shit.

Anyway, if they are citizens then how can they not be allowed to return? Sure prosecute them if they have broken the law.

Is it even possible to deny a citizen entry to their own country? I bet all these people are at least under heavy surveillance and not just casually let into the country to "to roam the streets..." Rubbish article.

It is easy to deny citizens re entry,just a vote in Parliament.

Some Aussie journalism is crap. But UK newspapers 'trustworthy and measured in comparison' ? :rofl::rofl:

Apart from tits with your toast, I struggle to see much that's trustworthy and measured in the British tabloids :lol:

Not remembering it, and against my better judgement, I Googled it. Suicide by badger definitely gets points for originality. :blink:

That was kind of the point - the UK press is bloody awful, but the Australian press seems plum the depths just that little bit harder. A combination of lies, racism, stupidity and just that extra bit of vicious incompetence. The only reason they wouldn't have been listening to voicemail messages would be because they weren't smart enough to think of it, or copy it.

Mate, you're flogging a dead horse. Both countries have the particular brand of 'journalism' you're talking about and any comparative research study, light-weight or in-depth, would be hard pressed to find one 'worse' than the other.

I'm buggered if I know how so many topics turn into 'the grass is greener on my side'!

I'm lucky enough not to read newspapers, or watch the news, consequently I've not got a clue what's happening around the globe, and I have no journalist telling me how I should feel about world events. The up side of this is that I speak as I find, with no preconceptions, the down side is... erm nope no down side, I'm happy as a pig in shit. Why get bothered by things you can't change? and why let someone else feed you bullshit?

It's BE. I think that most threads end up that way eventually. Usually just after the Nazis are mentioned...

Well, most threads seem to end up with people saying one is better than the other. You even get accused of it when you are saying that both are terrible ...
:huh:

Personally I stick with the ABC, BBC, and The Guardian.

The BBC/ABC can also peddle their own agenda.

The way I see it, is that Australia has a sort of battler - but dangerously, 'half serious', (if incompetent) tabloid press with a battler -everyman agenda. Sort of The Express. The UK has a truly, gutter, farcical, comical tabloid press. (It also has the quite niche, in some ways, Daily Mail - I am not aware of any equivalent anywhere!)
