I could not believe Brandis's quote when I saw it - that someone who is a professional politician, could even give the appearance of possibly confusing the digitisation of media, and indeed our lives, and the threat that poses to print media business models, with the impact of a carbon tax was outright laughable.
I think it poses a greater question, 'Do Politicians realise that the public has de-valued them so much that there is no reputational damage from saying outright stupid things?'
Follow-up, what are people's thoughts on the implications of Rineheart potentially having a say in Fairfax editorial positions?
