Press Council rules Sunshine Coast Daily’s ‘Anna You’re Next’ cover was ‘deeply regrettable’
A Sunshine Coast Daily cover which featured a photograph of Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk with crosshairs superimposed on her face and the headline ‘ANNA, YOU’RE NEXT’ was “deeply regrettable” and breached the general principles of the Press Council’s Standards of Practice, according to the watchdog’s ruling.
But, because the News Corp publication printed a front page apology and, after several requests, removed the digital image, no further action needs to be taken, the Press Council decided.
The Sunshine Coast Daily cover which clearly shows Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk in crosshairs
I would have thought that “deeply offensive” was more appropriate.
Regrettable is that the LNP remained in government federally.
The sunshine coast daily a paywalked edifice to mediocre journalism long overdue to be superseded by a real local paper in the old mould panders to the phony right wingers who continue to elect liberal “do nothings” in the region. LABOUR state goverments got tolls removed way back when, got the university,got the hospital,bruce highway upgrades,and more. Federally we have had a conga line, as mr Keating put it so susicntlly,of suckholes that have done nothing for the region, yes you Clive and you Peter and while were at it Mal ,whats on your resume.
It always amazes me every election cycle we as a constituency alighn to the right our pathetic local press might explain just a little bit.
