The Courier Mail published an article 'Scissor Killer' around or on June/October 1980/1983? Can anyone direct me to this article which seems not to be found? ronjan@mc2.vicnet.net.au

An article THAT old will never be online for most newspapers (it is well before the internet took off), especially a News Ltd one. I suggest a library, particularly the State Library. Dankru 10:04, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citation

From the last paragraph:

"It is common in government and political circles to discuss if any decision would pass the "Courier-Mail Test", meaning that if the results of the action were to go public, and all the positive aspects removed, how would any potential negative aspects be scandalised by the Courier Mail and thus what risks need to be mitigated early".

Presumably this has been referenced from somewhere; could someone provide the source? (link, page number etc.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.77.85.121 (talk) 10:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Political Position?

Found a paper which gives the "evidence" quoted but other factors argue for a left of centre position. My own understanding is that it is, for the most part, a left of centre paper - editorials and the odd columnist\blogger aside. Given the discrepancy a blanket "right wing paper" statement is not really appropriate right? 114.35.25.165 (talk) 13:32, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
