Much of the "outrage" is confected by the journalists that are presenting it.

In actuality, none of the parties concerned held the public's trust to begin with, so pardon me if I suggest that most Australians would interpret the whole charade as a pissing contest between idiots.

Yeah I think that's a reasonable take, and it'll be interesting to see how it plays out up till the next election, which should be early/mid next year, and whether anyone's still talking about it by then.

I'm mostly just surprised to see Facebook play the PR game so badly, but perhaps I shouldn't be.
