Newspapers should focus on the real culprits

THE emerging consensus among the national broadsheet newspapers around support for the Government is becoming unseemly.

I am a public servant who has very reluctantly accepted that we the people have to sacrifice much to rescue our country from the deliberate and reckless ineptitude of the Government and other powerful interest groups such as banks and almighty shareholder/bondholders.

However, this sacrifice is not intended to make the people who mugged us look like heroes. The national press editors have cautioned unions and public workers to be cool and calm in how they react to the destruction of their quality of life.
