Too many journalists more interested in the 'game of politics' & 'sensational statements' of candidates' is why the US currently has Trump destroying their nation and shitting on all their respected "conventions" of Govt.
#Auspol should beware of same here.

Riding roughshod over 'conventions' is a slippery slope.

It has taken reporters in the US quite a bit of time to call out the trashing of these 'conventions' by their President, but sadly, damage is now done.
In Australia, we have seen various Governments over the years try to skirt convention.
