There is nothing like a good whiff of alleged sexual impropriety to liberate the minds and pens of our parliamentary hacks, and titivate the masses.
Regrettably in the early stages of such sagas there are always more questions than answers, and as our fledging Prime Minister has found no sooner is one curly questions or innuendo dispatched, than his answer has spawned a dozen more.
It is not our intention to make light of the plight of the hapless and now ex-minister Worth, or those he’s alleged to have pressed his unwanted-ness upon, but there is one emerging aspect of this matter that deserves a quick squashing.
Sadly when a feeding frenzy is on, anything and anyone associated with the target may appear fair game. This led to the media to seize upon Worth’s engagement of professional communications support as though this were another indiscretion. The truth is when all hell has broken around you, that’s exactly when you need professional advice and support, including assistance in dealing with the media.
So, to the media we would say, let’s keep things professional and focused on the real issues.
