Letters Editor,
Daily Telegraph.
David Penberthy was always too young and too immature for the postion of Editor of the Daily Telegraph. His tenure has been marked by startling campaigns eg the Daily Telegraph's coverage of the Cronulla Riots, which probably helped stimulate and encourage the rioters, and the stories about immigrants being given preference for public housing, which was a not so veiled attack on middle eastern migrants just after the Cronulla riots.
Now he has just been running the most vehement campaign against the Rees Government following the Mini Budget. Who needs the Liberal Party when you have the Daily Telegraph under the editorship of David Penberthy? I don't agree with the Rees Governments proposals to privatise ferries, prisons, electricity retail, PILLAR, and waste services, but I do think that the role of the print media is to present the news, not make the news as some sort of quasi political party! It is ironic that his last campaign was to get the government sacked, and he is the one who has moved on from his job!
Maybe David Penberthy has finally become too much even for the proprietors of the Daily Telegraph. I look forward to a more mature newspaper now he has gone!

About Me
- JENNY'S RED NEWS
- Dear Fellow Bloggers, For some time I have thought about starting a left of centre news and commentary service and I have tried to do this by using email. But as some good, but email overloaded friends have suggested, a better way to go may be by blogging. So here it is! Jenny's Red News. My primary interests are left of centre politics and the very important question of how can we get left of centre parties, groups and grouplets in Australia working together more co-operatively. The right of centre predominates politics in this country at the present time, and they are on the march. We on the left of centre need to work together more co-operatively and constructively to put the left of centre agenda out there, for the perusal and consumption of the Australian people. Particular topics that will be reported on and on which comments are welcome are: Industrial relations - Opposition to Workchoices Refugee and Asylum Seekers Human Rights Civil Liberties Opposition to the Welfare to Work Changes Health System Reform Aboriginal Health and Reconciliation Jenny Haines posted by JENNY'S RED NEWS at 12:50 AM 0 comments
