Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has been spotted catching up with Joe Aston, the author behind the explosive new book The Chairman’s Lounge, fuelling claims about his connections to the Liberal Party.

Aston, a former Australian Financial Review columnist, has been open about his history as a Liberal staffer for Joe Hockey and Bruce Baird. However, his recent meet-up with Mr Dutton has come to light after a photo was taken by a fellow diner.

Once again the #ABC fails to explain to their readers who #JoeAston is, before treating every word as “the honest truth “.
This is pathetic journalism & lazy journalism, because without understanding the context & background of the *journalist*, one would take the information at face value. #MediaFailure #Bias
