Commentary

In political commentator James Morrow’s words, the ABC Four Corners program that aired on Jan. 30 smacks of a “smear campaign” against a group of Opus Dei Catholic schools and New South Wales (NSW) Premier Dominic Perrottet ahead of the upcoming March state election. Several NSW Liberal MPs, including Perrottet, are alumni of these schools.
