Seeking a Fair Go in a ‘World of Pain’ by @sarah_capper

May 28, 2014

It’s hard to fully comprehend, but just eight months after being elected, the Coalition-friendly News Limited broadsheet ‘The Australian’ ran with the headline, ‘Coalition in World of Pain’ emblazoned across its front page early this week.
