Disgraced ex-WA Premier Brian Burke has done it again. This time he has embarrassed the Prime Minister and also made the mistake of putting pen to paper his views about various WA journos.

This is a big mistake. HUGE, as Julia Roberts said on Rodeo Drive in Pretty Woman.

Describing journos as "not very pleasant" and as "average journalist(s)" is not what I would call media relations. It is more like anti-media relations.

Besides who died and made Brian Burke the Judge of all that is Great and Good in WA journalism? Geez Louise the man has been in more hot water than a spa salesman.

As Kath Day Knight would say: "This really gets my goat." I don't like dossiers on journalists. There is something very distasteful about the whole process.  I say this with full recognition that there is a dossier out there with Lisa Tait (my maiden name) on it. It probably says I was "not very pleasant" and an "average journalist". But hey I was a journalist. Being pleasant was not part of my job. I would wear that badge, and even the average one, with pride. 

Better than being a sycophant or a crawler.
