Paul Bongiorno is one of the 1.2 billion Roman Catholics who mourned the loss of Pope Francis this week.
As he read tribute after tribute of the impact of the Pope’s life, he noticed what wasn’t on the front page – Peter Dutton’s last-minute policy announcements.
“The Pope is a world figure… and of course, it swamped the world’s media, including here in Australia. So it’s not surprising that the death of this pope would overshadow anything that our leaders were doing in the election campaign. In fact, it would blow the campaign out of the water for a few days.”
Today, columnist for The Saturday Paper Paul Bongiorno, on how the Pope’s death changed the election.
