Yeah, it is because, I mean, obviously you're in public.
You've got nothing to hide.
It's just a work conversation but it somehow gets back to whoever it is is like, you know, deciding that they've got a grudge against you and it feeds into this whole I am constantly under surveillance.
And, again, I am not the only journalist that this happens to.
It's just increasing in its viciousness and it's increasing in its frequency.
There's a couple of different types of dirt units.
So there's political operatives and then there's the political parties themselves.
Meanwhile, I note the Treasurer's Dirt Unit has been briefing... All mainstream political parties have what they call dirt units.
The Prime Minister needs to stop worrying about getting more evidence in his dirt unit.
They're usually staffers within senior ministerial offices.
Often you'll find senators' staffers who are part of dirt units because that's part of what the Senate does.
A senator's job is to increase the representation of their political party in the broad.
And part of that is knowing a little bit about something that all enemies, you know, within your tent, outside the tent and on the other side of politics.
in the red dirt of the top end and so the way that you know the labor dirt unit used to do it was journalists would be given what is called a sheet and that basically involves a list of publicly available information about uh contradictions in something that somebody might have said
declarations that were or were not made on the interest register, previous life experience that may now be hypocritical or pertinent to what they're doing and hasn't necessarily been declared.
And the Liberal Party Dirt Unit is very similar.
Most of that dirt unit stuff done through the political parties is publicly available information.
And that is because, for all intents and purposes, they're professional outfits and they are trying to work with what is within the bounds of the law in order to report.
Like, they want their target to be discredited, they want that piece to go to print or to be broadcast, and so it has to fit within the law.
So that's the sort of professional dirt unit.
