The Advocate’s editor has attracted the ire of media commentators this week after photos of the 56-year-old posing with his new SUV at Betoota BMW were uncovered online.
While it’s not atypical for top-of-the-pyramid media personalities to own and drive luxury European vehicles, it’s the fact that Mr Overell himself said the new BMW X5 was paid for by pushing Labor’s woke pro-Voice agenda.
In a short statement today, Mr Overell told this masthead that his business is nobody’s business.
“The Betoota Advocate and our Chinese-owned parent organization are private companies, which means just that. Private!” he said.
“Which means any and all payments made by the Australian Labor Party, the United Nations, the ABC, Pfizer, various pro-Voice lobby groups, left-leaning think tanks, and Russell Crowe are subject to privacy. Those payments were for services. Those services are pushing agendas,”
“What this organization and myself do with those payments is private, because we are a private company. Yes, I did buy a new BMW this month. So what? Paul Barry drives a Lexus; go chase him up a tree. Errol is banned from driving until 2045, so guess what he did? You might’ve noticed he’s been absent from a number of our radio shows in recent weeks,”
“He went to Turkey to get a hair transplant and some new veneers. All paid for by pushing the UN’s woke agenda.”
The Advocate reached out to Sky News and Media Watch for comment but has yet to receive a reply.
More to come.
