As I've read the entire report on HQ, it is now time to look at the inevitably biased media coverage. This biased article is written by @EwinHannan. A thread. ⬇️⬇️

I thought the @australian was a National Newspaper? It's hard to believe that as the article doesn't mention the Federal Government once. This is despite the fact that the report mentions their errors several times. #auspol #springst #hotelquarantine #thisisnotjournalism

Coate clearly declares in her report that she couldn't confirm whether the ADF was available for front-line enforcement in HQ. Given that, this entire paragraph is terrible journalism.

Coate also states that even if the ADF was used, she believed that Private Security would still have been required.

We also know that @DanielAndrewsMP's request for #ADF was denied but @EwinHannan makes no mention of this.

The article focuses entirely on Private Security. It makes no mention of time restraints, the inadequacy of hotels, nor that that Fed Government had no plan for quarantine. The report mentions all of that. Did @EwinHannan read the report? #auspol #springst #thisisnotjournalism

Speculated entirely by the #Newscorpse Media. Just because Murdoch wanted it, that doesn't make it news, nor legitimate speculation. What a pathetic sentence.

Given the time restraints and the fact we know the #ADF was not on offer and that @VictoriaPolice didn't want to do HQ, what other choice was there?

Naturally, the article does not mention that other states used Private Security, including #GoldStandard NSW who also used one of the same companies as Victoria.

Again, only 36 hours and the other states went for private security also.

This childish headline is only addressed in the final sentence of the article. Does @EwinHannan know how to title an article correctly?

It will not take him out? Is this what journalism has come to? Lines like this? Take him out? You are pathetic @EwinHannan. Are you and Rupert Murdoch still crying as the report makes no findings against @DanielAndrewsMP?
#auspol #springst #hotelquarantine #thisisnotjournalism

In summary, this entire article is a @newscorp whinge fest about Private Security as the report makes not findings against @DanielAndrewsMP. A real headline would be "Coate Inquiry Clears Andrews". #auspol #springst #hotelquarantine #thisisnotjournalism #MurdochRoyalCommission
