He became a Liberal Stooge and unfortunately there is no turning back.

Not so, Culprit. Yes, he made a blunder, but he's done the honest and decent thing and has apologised for it, and apologised for fronting for a report which - unknown to him at the time - was deeply politicised and biased. Plus he has pledged to donate the money the Liberals paid him to a charity.

I lost a lot of respect for him when he fronted for that dodgy propaganda report, but it turns out that he was only shown carefully selected parts of it well before it was released and was misled into fronting for it. He has apologised and made good his error. Good for him!

Time will tell, as far as I am concerned I have no respect for him. Yes he realised he made an error but it was all too late and he has only back tracked after being exposed.

Lots of good people do a deal with Mephistopheles and then regret it later -

Meg Lees, Warren Mundine, Les Murray, Bettina Arndt, even Malcolm Turnbull.

it is better to support good people on their way back to credibility, lest they turn forever to the dark side.

I've always admired Dr. Karl, his radio show is very cool. I was a little confused over his role in those ads but now that it's all been made clear... still a fan.

Is it wrong that I had no F I who or what Dr Karl was until now?

No stui, it's very right. He's a spud that only a ten year old would find funny.

Hard to believe he is still around. He used to have an office in the physics department of the university of sydney, almost thirteen years ago. I don't know why he had it because he never did any fkn teaching. Spent his time playing radio shows with his googly-eyed spud mate adam someone or other.

None of this should make any sense to anybody but unfortunately it does Sad
