Weasel words

Not surprised but disappointed by the response to the Queensland coroner's report on the death of Mulrunji Doomadgee. But what purports to a commentary in the Courier-Mail is a remarkably alarming piece of work. It does admit once that:
Hurley, the coroner believes, was fatally at fault and lost his cool after being hit by Mulrunji and beat him, rupturing his liver.
But it seeks to trivialise this fact by effectively equating it with a whole series of other events and process from the slow process of the enquiry, to the dysfunctional Palm island community, to the bungles of Liddy Clark, the 'overly prompt' release of the original medical report etc. Presumably the Courier-Mail would be correctly critical of someone who said that no one emerged with credit from the events of September 11, 2001? The terrorists did behave very badly but there was a context and they had been provoked etc. etc.
