The insufferable Paul Xiting is back in the press today, unwisely giving Greg Sheridan equal billing:
Greg Sheridan, in his opinion piece of Tuesday, February 21, provides yet another display of his spiteful, vacuous journalism – his erroneous claims that I am not the progenitor of the APEC Leaders’ Meeting, and that my views on Australian strategic policy are eccentric and at odds with the US alliance.
When a retired PM responds so publically to a commentary hack you know that defensiveness has overrun reason.
