Keeping this short.
The whole world had a massive period when the UK phone hacking 'scandal crisis' came out. Australia's Liberal "me too" gov't starts spouting noise about media law reform, blah blah blah all from an isolated, albeit large overseas media corruption issue.
And yet when four corners released a TV report for the general public, the government acted on it in less than 24 hours without substantiation, crippling a large Australian industry and wasting hundreds of million dollars.
Then we hear about this today.
I thought that was a problem when it first happened, but combine it with the phone hacking issue and this news, and you have to wonder...
"The f**k man..? The f**k..?"
What else can I honestly say about how the current Australian government seems to handle issues?

"If we can't report new news, we'll create new news."
But then again, do you really believe everything the media (news "journalism") reports?

ill add my rant to this rant.
is it just me or are people so not dependable? how many times do i have to make plans/appointments w.e to have it cancelled or people not getting back to you. This happens all the time to me and im really getting sick of it. Had a good new years planned, and alas one mate i havent seen in 10 yrs cant make it "just because" and another mate now wont get back to me. Seriously, every damn time i get my hopes up they get shot down, so i fail to see the point in getting cheery about anything cos it seems to turn its nasty head another way at me.
I really hate to whinge, but every damn time!!!!!

QUOTE (RMA @ Feb 6 2010, 01:22 AM) My only regrets are:
Selling Fudd an amp (for a fraction of the real price) that had been returned by Autobarn Geelong which had been incorrectly used by AB Geelong and turned out to be faulty when Fudd started using it.
Whilst he was given a new amp after it could not be fixed, he never acknowledged any of the assistance given and bitches to this day about it.

i like to sit in the right hand lane, as i find that as i drive along the freeways, i enjoy casually watching all the cars drive by in the opposite direction, sometimes you see some real beauties out for a cruise... being in the right hand lane simply brings them closer to me... i like the feeling of being close to these classic cars, even if it's only for a couple of seconds as they drive past in the opposite direction... sometimes i even slow down if there's a real beauty, just to try and extend the time i get to spend admiring such a classic... it makes me feel a little warm inside...
