I had cynically said that Insiders interviewed ACTU President Sally McManus to lift their ratinga after every one booed the panel of Pat Karvelas, David Crowe and James Campbell
Seems I was right as audience numbers doubled from previous week
Hardly a balanced panel on Insiders with Crowe and Campbell spouting govt propaganda yet again. I left the set on but switched attention to John Menadue’s more informative email.
