No, nope, no no no nooooooooooo............. I'm not going to engage with the off-topic, loony far-right conspiracies.

No.

Is there another Mark Latham?

That's the sound of his contract being torn up.......... https://www.smh.com.au/sport/rugby-union/folau-dumped-by-sponsor-asics-20190508-p51lcy.html

Add them to the list - Alan Jones, Mark Latham, Andrew Bolt, Miranda Devine.............

He wouldn't have had the backing of News Corp's George Pell fan club.........

I'm skeptical of a vague focus group conducted by the former vice-president of the Qld Liberal Party, and current executive chairman of the Australian Institute for Progress, whose stance on the right of individuals versus corporations and governments is well publicised............. Published...

Wait until you see who the author and conductor of the poll was........... Conservative libertarian lobby group who hold a particularly strong opinion on this issue.

What was the criteria for the poll? The response only appears to just answer the one question, which is whether people agreed he should be fired or not?
