Not surprisingly, the scandal over NSW politician John Della Bosca's extra-marital affair has sparked a debate over whether it should have been reported at all. No law was broken after all, and many people would argue it had little impact on how he carried out his duties as a minister.

My own feeling is that the media should lay off these things. But that will never happen, of course. Even if the vast majority of media outlets decide not to expose politicians' sexual shenanigans, there'll always be at least one that will. Once the secret's out, it's news. They all have to report it then! Only politicians in rock solid marriages within which there has been no infidelity on either side have nothing to fear from the media.
