Perhaps “he who denied it supplied it”?

I do wonder if they did mean “omission”.

TLDR: the ABC is giving soft-focus sympathetic coverage to racist thugs. “Vigilante” in Townsville = white men who harass and assault Indigenous kids.

In another off-script moment in her struggling campaign, the leader of the centre-right National party sledged Australia’s smallest state on Thursday, saying she wouldn’t want New Zealand to be like it.

“We don’t want to be the poor cousin of the rest of Australia as such,” she said in Auckland.

Collins was asked how she would describe her campaign before launching into the comparison without prompting.

“It’s been relentless. Relentlessly positive,” she said, borrowing one of prime minister Jacinda Ardern’s phrases.

“Every day has been another day to get out and share a vision for New Zealand that’s not another Tasmanian one; it’s been about us being a wonderfully exciting place to be.”

Polls have Collins tracking to lose the election by the biggest margin in 18 years.
