If you find yourself comparing a public servant who had a consensual affair with a prominent political figure being snooped on by the media to a journalist who was sexually assaulted by a prominent political figure who desired to keep the matter private having their experience brought into the spotlight by a third party for political gain, you may be suffering from a bout of centrism. Other symptoms may include feelings of objectivity and adverse reactions to anything left of centre.
No. Don't put words in my mouth. I have only talked about the media here. Stop trying to be the hero.
If you want to know my opinion of the people involved in the issue, then look a little higher on the page where I was very clear what I thought of everyone involved, including Elliott.
Also, a ministerial staffer is not a public servant, but you know, facts don't mean much when you are internet warrioring...
