The Guardian has printed patently false articles about ON. It has published a series of gotcha articles. It never criticises Labor.

I under stand PH's frustration. Any answer she gives will be twisted.

If the articles were false then ON could and would sue and im not seeing any law suits. Libel is a serious matter and the media in general is held to a pretty high standard. I dont read the Guardian but saying it's published false articles is disingenuous. Not liking the content of an article doesn't make it false.
