Commenting on the opinion piece: Labor’s vexing new tactic could backfire on the streets of Norwood

What ever happened regarding privacy laws when applying for a job. One would think it was between the applicant and the employer. – John Spehr

Spot on, David Washington. As a Dunstan voter, and one who has worked for “the other side” as a political adviser himself, I’m more likely to vote for Anna Finizio after hearing she applied for a job with a Labor Minister.

Only political warriors can take the division between Labor and Liberal seriously. The rest of us know that we are voting for one party or another based on how well they will achieve objectives that both parties share.

And Labor’s use of Dr Finizio’s CV in this way is disturbing. – Ian Radbone

It is curious that this article should be written by a a senior journalist with a depth of knowledge of politicians whose primary endeavour is to be elected or re-elected.

None of the recent tactics in Dunstan were particularly new and partisanship is the life-blood of election campaigns. As usual, Labor is always more disciplined and better organised.

The Liberal candidate has an impressive CV which seems to offer all things to all people, but didn’t stop her being discredited on several fronts. Her geographic and education affiliations are unclear, her political persuasion perplexing. – Warren Jones

David Washington’s article about the Labor Party’s unfair portrayal of Dr Anna Finizio is excellent: balanced, fair and considered, unlike the material published by The Advertiser.

South Australians are fortunate we have InDaily providing us with accurate, honest and thought provoking pieces. – Paul Leadbeter

Commenting on the story: Qantas fined $250k for standing down worker

How is this judgement fair when Qantas only compensates the WHS worker Theo $20,000 for loss of his job and the stress he experienced trying to stand up for his colleagues’ rights and safety?

The legal process fines the airline company a quarter of a million dollars, not a penny of which the employee who’s been sacked, ostracised and vilified receives. Surely part of that substantial payment should form some of his compensation as ethical whistleblower, someone who was doing the principled thing.

And where does that money Qantas pays as a penalty end up? Back in the government’s coffers? – Kieran Weir
