How is she going to know? There's so much to play out in this yet.. Will he be de-registered? Will he be allowed to nominate a price? - which is what she said.. And that it's all very raw..
She seemed fine to me, confident in her source and is a trusted source.. Did a lot of checking on the info and then felt it was right to go with.. She is usually on the money..
I've been reading THE AGE daily for the last twenty odd years.....they're are obviously very melbourne centric and usually have very little idea what's going on outside victoria...I can't see any reason to heap such praise on her or Caroline Wilson....
her interview was full of ums ahs and I don't knows....a good journalist has an opinion on everything let alone on her topic of 'expertise'.....not impressed at all....I used to work with several journalists when I was a PR manager and they were extremely intelligent people who also knew what was going on....she sounded like a cadet.....
she is trusting a source who has apparently seen the email saying that the crows told tippetts team not to tell the AFL....that's what she wrote in her column....but in the interview she states that it didn't say that exactly but it was 'the gist of it'....kind of important to get that fact correct wouldn't you say?
so she hasn't seen the document, the information comes from one source only (a good journo will always have multiple sources confirming facts) and suddenly the wording of a crucial piece of information isn't exactly as it was previously stated....
no, I'm seriously unimpressed....we shall see we shall see
It strikes me as odd that Trigg would come out bold as brass rather than resign and take the heat off himself if in fact the document stated 'don't tell the AFL about this'
