E-CUSE ME HAVING AN E-CLUSIVE OPINION
A strict five year quota for use of the word "e-clusive" in Queensland has been blown by the Courier Mail in three months.
If they don't stop it now, there will be no "-"s left for stories that really do need an "-" to mark the spot.
Young gun and Police Media favourite, Thomas Chamberlin, is front runner for most E_CLUSIVES on the front page at the News Ltd Chrissy Bash.
Thomas has kindly shared the honour this week with his buddy, Tony Gough, releasing top secret news for Police that drones will be watching our every move as the LNP recognises a desperate need for new and sneaky ways to invade privacy and raise revenue.
While it is pretty easy to score an e-clusive in Brisbane with no newspaper competition Police Media dish out e-clusives in well planned operations.

If only road safety was so well managed.
Every secret story media managers dish out to win favour with the Courier Mail demonstrates a lack of respect for Parliament as elected officials have to rely on media "E-clusives" for their news feed, but who cares about something boring like Parliament?
The Courier Mail, Television news 7 and 9 are on a roster for "e-clusives" granting top secret access to the details about radars, speed cameras, drones, dodgy university research backing up stunts, graphic advertising campaigns to show they are doing something about road safety and crime prevention or keeping 'front page Freddy' happy.
E-clusive is used in proportion to the desperation to get something on the front page that will attract attention, or distract, if something embarrassing is unfolding in another area of government.

Journalists have better access to LNP tactics than members of Parliament or the well oiled committees that are supposed to keep them busy and out of trouble.
However, clever readers recognise the code ...
If it is an E-clusive, the media outlet was desperate for something different for the front page or the decent story they were hoping to run with was not quite ready. They had to use the boring back up, and a Terry O'Gorman quote.
ABC media watch, with unlimited resources, has five researchers going for it as we think about this. Their segment about word quotas that have been smashed, will start with analysis of the 100 best E-clusive announcements in the last week. Talk about fatigue!

Jonathan Holmes will advocate a ban on a certain word until the letter bank can be renewed.
The Federal Labor Government has commenced an inquiry that will require many overseas trips to find how to replenish the depleted word bank for troublesome or bored Members and Senators.
Queenslands LNP government, just one year old, has worn out its welcome with two words - "Monumental", and "stuff-up".

It's extensive media management team inherited from Labor has agreed to find alternative words to over use for the remainder of its first term.
But, well done Thomas. A fabulous addition to the resume.
You will make a fine LNP media adviser for ... err ... the Police Minister. Watch out Danny.
