Duncan From ‘Q&A’ Allegedly On Suicide Watch After Media Hatchet Job

And that came after The Australian pulled a harsh take on Duncan from his own son, and the organisers of his rapidly-filled GoFundMe fund claimed the guy just wanted to be left alone.

Now, according to the Australian Independent Media Network, – a group who no doubt have it out for mainstream media organisations – a friend of the Storrar family has alleged how thoroughly the negative publicity has impacted Duncan and those close to him.

An unnamed source told AIMN the family is “currently being hounded by media, and outsiders picking apart half truths and misconstruing versions of the truth.”

Again, it’s important to put it in context: the guy, regardless of any prior wrongdoing, politely asked our Assistant Treasurer why high-income earners were eligible for tax breaks but he – a minimum wage earner receiving government benefits – was not. 

The source continued, saying “it’s scaring me how much this is effecting the Storrar Family. And I hate seeing Duncan’s message to the politicians being lost by this witch hunt.”

Of course, that much is true as well. Since we’re smack bang in the middle of an election that’s zeroing in on the economy, it makes total sense that citizens query the hell outta pollies’ policies. 

It’s pretty dire if those questions result in this kind of treatment, though.
