How to Bury or Remove Negative Press from The Courier Mail in Google Australia

You’ve made progress. You’ve grown, changed, rebuilt.
But Google won’t let it go.

Every time someone searches your name—or your business—the first thing they see?
👉 An old Courier Mail article that doesn’t reflect who you are anymore.

It’s brutal.
And if you’re in business, in the public eye, or simply trying to move on, it’s also dangerous.

Here’s the truth most people won’t tell you:
You can fight back. And Reputation Station can do it for you.


📰 Why Articles on The Courier Mail Are So Hard to Ignore

The Courier Mail is part of News Corp Australia—same network as Herald Sun and News.com.au. That means their stories rank incredibly well in Google. Often top 3 results. Always on Page 1.

Even if:

  • The case was dropped
  • The issue is old news
  • You weren’t convicted
  • Your name was only mentioned in passing
    …it still sits there, damaging your name, image, and future.

And it’s not just you noticing.

💼 Clients, HR teams, investors, and even your kids’ school Google you.

For professionals in Brisbane, business owners in Gold Coast, or entrepreneurs in Toowoomba, a single Courier Mail article can cost you opportunities, income, and credibility—fast.


🔥 What Happens If You Don’t Act?

Let’s be honest. Ignoring it doesn’t work.

Google doesn’t care if the article is old.
It doesn’t care if you’ve changed.
It doesn’t even care if it’s true or not.

It just cares about clicks, relevance, and trust in the source. And The Courier Mail? It ticks all those boxes.

🧠 That’s why the story still shows up.

Worse still, negative content tends to snowball. One high-ranking article can lead to:

  • 🚫 More media coverage
  • 🤐 Social media backlash
  • 📉 Lost job offers
  • 💔 Damaged relationships

You can’t risk letting this drag on.


🛠️ So, Can You Remove a Courier Mail Article?

Yes—and no. Depends on your situation.
But don’t worry—that’s why we exist.

At Reputation Station, we specialise in strategic removal, suppression, and reputation repair for people affected by damaging Courier Mail articles.

Here’s what we do:

🧾 1. Direct Removal (When Possible)

We assess if the article breaches defamation, privacy, or ethical publishing standards. If there’s a valid case, we handle takedown requests directly with the publisher.

👨‍⚖️ 2. Legal Support (If Required)

We work with legal experts who understand the landscape in Australia, including laws around outdated or misleading media coverage.

🧹 3. Suppression via High-Authority Content

Can’t remove it? Then we bury it. We create positive, powerful content optimised to push the article off Page 1—where no one sees it.

🌏 4. De-Indexing from Google Australia

In some cases, we can get Google to remove the article from search results altogether, even if it remains online.

🧬 5. Full Reputation Makeover

We rebuild your search profile to reflect who you really are now. Positive, accurate, updated—and trusted by search engines.


🧑‍💼 Real Clients. Real Results.

A startup founder in Brisbane came to us after a five-year-old Courier Mail piece reappeared online during a funding round. We got the article de-indexed and built a clean, investor-ready profile that now ranks above all else.

A tradie in Townsville had a personal dispute go public in a nasty article. He lost business because of it. We suppressed the article and helped him rebrand with positive stories tied to his community work.

A senior executive from Sunshine Coast was wrongly named in an article. We had her name removed entirely and wiped the search results clean.

This is the work we do—quietly, effectively, and always confidentially.
