I will say from the outset that i have never had much time for the New South Wales right of the Labor Party. Nor Belinda Neal and John Della Bosca.

But Melissa Batten has gone one step too far. Nobody likes a dobber.

I dont mean dobbing on murderers or violent offenders, thats different - dob all you like on those thugs.

But are Belinda Neal's indiscretions so great to warrant this type of behvaiour from a former employee? No way Jose.

Batten has no doubt received a cash payment for her story, and will be the talk of the country for the next week. If she was asked to talk to police, thats fine. But being paid to go on national television to bag out the person who employed her? Thats going way too far.

So much for employee loyalty. So good luck to Batten with her chequebook journalism payment. Id like to see if her next employer has any trust in her.

About Just Grumpy

Im not a right wing nut job, far from it. I just believe that the world doesnt owe you a living, you make your own luck (was that Kevin Rudd?) and if you work hard you can succeed.

Thats not to say that we shouldnt help those who cant help themselves. I have a firm belief in giving a helping hand up to those who genuinely need it. (please give generously to my linked charities)

I call myself a realist and i want to tell it like it is. Somebody has to speak the truth. Because seriously, what a selfish bunch of insular tools we have become in today's dreamy Australia.

Maybe we arent so different to the rest of the world. And maybe it was always this way.

Anyway, until things change, i remain young and grumpy.
