TSK TSK: Sunbury Leader journalists admit fabricating news photograph, deny further involvement in "Liberation Front"
Last week, we exposed an outer-suburban Melbourne local newspaper’s publication of a photograph that claimed to include three members of the Sunbury Liberation Front. We revealed that two of three people in the photograph – who were described as members of the Front -were journalists working in that publication.
This week, the Sunbury Leader has responded admitting that two of its journalists posed in the photograph but now deny being members of the organisation. They also deny writing or being otherwise involved in the SLF.
To their credit while the original story with faked-up photograph ran on page five, their “clarification” ran this week on page three. It didn’t, though, name the journalists Andrew Jefferson, the Sunbury Leader’s editor and George Ierodiacounou who appeared in the photographs, posing as members of an organisation they were reporting on.

These are the kind of disgraceful antics that Richard Dalla Riva would get involved in.
Are you still continuing with this bizarre obsession with RDR. I thought he was on par with most of the morons in the Liberal Party anyway.
Comments straying way off topic with various obsessions, like the ubiquitous ‘… RDR’ and ‘who am I?’ trolls. Unlike ‘Dr Dean’ they’re not even remotely funny.
I like the Sunbury Luberation Front. I thunk that they are an orginisation work pruviding assustance and sipport to.
Maybe George Ierodiacounou should stick to his amateur hour rag he got the sack for this puerile display of muck reporting.
George Ierodiacounou you are a disgrace
Is ther something very wrong in Sunbury?
Their Mayor is not the full two bob!
Sunbury’s mayor is supported by the federal member for Calwell. I gather she will be supporting Malcolm Turnbull next.
If the Mayor is not the full two bob then what in the hell is his fellow Councillor??????
Calwell Member, you are very very wrong my friend, she will be supporting the Top Hat and Mo before she supports Turnbull.
He is just a slice of Heaven
But Dave, he is not Greek
What a shame people take things so seriously cause this site gives a different insight into politics.
Last Saturday’s interview on 3NRG was the funniest radio interview you would ever want to hear.
scarlet pimpernel, sad to see your stray snatch comment was deleted.
if the mayor is not the full two bob what does that make any running mate who keeps trying to get in and isn’t able to?
A failed Candidate for council twice and state election once. If you were smart you think that you would get the message, YOU ARE NOT WANTED!
That sounds like me!
Dave who are you talking about?
I am a road wanker errr worker. Fact is Jack got more vaults than Ann and even though Ann and I are very close facts are facts.
vaults?
Laurie, you need to learn how to spell mate
Who ezz the scarlut pumpernul?
Ogilvie with his high profile would be the ideal Liberal candidate for the state seat of Macedon. Hw would take votes from Labor.
I like Juck Ulgilvy he’s choice
What high profile? Self proclaimed company director of his own piss-ant painting one man show and being seen on his hands and knees painting the outside of his mates developments at about election time? Oh, that’s real high profile stuff, that is.He’s an old fart past his use by date.
Hey Kokonut you forgot one thing. He got voted Mayor by the ALP. boom boom
Ann is the only one who should be Mayor and lets face it Sunbury really only supports here.
Actually it was the SL who voted him in and it was a deal, he will resign b4 his time is up and hand over the reins…watch and learn amateurs… watch and learn
