Calling the Bully's Bluff
Jim McGinty has denied referring to Brian Burke and Julian Grill in "corruption" comments he made on ABC Radio.
While McGinty's explanation fell short of an apology, the letter from McGinty to Burke and Grill's lawyers as reported in The West Australian, was a clear back down from any inference that Burke and Grill were corrupt or had been involved in any criminal matters. The letter arrived on the deadline for action to be taken in the Supreme Court.
This backdown was a big win by Brian Burke and Julian Grill as most of what Jim McGinty says about the lobbyists is designed to smear their reputations. McGInty seems to include the word "corruption" whenever he makes comment on any matter where Burke or Grill's name is involved.
It called staying on message and establishes a negative connection in the subconscious mind of listeners and readers. Goebells perfected this indoctrination technique.
The public now knows that Jim McGinty has no evidence that Brian Burke or Julian Grill are corrupt.
