Article Heading
I think the word "suspicion" is a singular noun.


 * It usually is. But accusation or claim might be better anyway.

On another note, did little Johnny really say "Expressions of political support should not disbar one from preferment on the merits." ? Such an embarassing mangling of the language.

I doubt he said preferment. Probably consideration? When did he say it? Probably I'm searching for the wrong thing, or perhaps Google hasn't read that issue of hansard yet, but I'm not seeing it.

Just FYI: Salmat also did the Constitutional Convention ballot papers.


 * During the Constitutional Convention I was involved in the ballot papers going out to the electors, and I can tell you what happened there. We had a contractor—I believe it was Salmat.
 * the printing job was changed from MacMillans in Sydney to Salmat in Melbourne, which is apparently owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Limited

And is this the same Salmat?


 * That has been partly due to programs like Regional Solutions, Sus-tainable Regions and Regional Partnerships, which in my area are not denigrated. For example, those programs have seen firms get under way like Austchilli, with half-a-million dollars; Queensland Sea Scallops; and Salmat, a telephone company.

Interesting definition of a telephone company


 * 250 jobs at the Salmat call centre in Wagga Wagga
 * 300 additional jobs in Wagga Wagga with the $2 million Salmat call centre
