And of course, Channel 7 and Channel 9 have published hit-pieces against the Privacy Commission in defence of Bunnings.

They have broadcast video of employees being attacked!

Are they somehow suggesting that if Fighty McStealy had been facially-profiled on entering the store that he wouldn't have done a meth rampage against old mate in a green apron?

Of course not. All methy agro maniacs carefully consider surveillance before going ballistic at random.
