A former Premier of Queensland (Bjelke-Petersen) gained notoriety for many reasons, one of which was his inability to explain the doctrine of the separation of powers, a fundamental tenet of Westminster democratic systems.
It seems Guardian journalists also lack knowledge of this basic principle, because the only alternative to unforgivable ignorance is deliberate malice.
In one short headline they’ve also apparently divined what’s contained in a sealed indictment and passed judgment on that as being “right” as well. The contempt for process and principles is amazing.
