When he was in power, Jeff Kennett famously tried to block out The Age, refusing all media requests and engagement in a bid to unseat then-editor Bruce Guthrie. Which is why it was interesting to see Guthrie and Kennett on the same page in the Oz today, lamenting the Sydney-fication of The Age.Guthrie, of course, now runs New Daily, while Kennett is a News Corp columnist (in Age rival the Herald Sun). Not that you’d pick that up from theOz’s report.
