If a fraction of the space and time devoted to this case was given to the 300,000 famililies (approx. 1.5 million people) bearing the brunt of Pres. Mugabwe's displeasure in Zimbabwe, he might be persuaded to stop his genocide. Homes bulldozed, Aid Centres destroyed, gardens razed, Aid Agencies ordered to stop giving aid!! The list goes on... The survivors of the Tsunami and earthquakes were given generous help by governments and the people of many countries - Australia being in the forefront. Can we rise to the occasion for these and the millions in third world countries who desparately need help.

Good on you Glenda ! Is being orchestrated by the Big 3 Channel stations. The checkbook journalism is alive and doing extraordinarilly well ! As each Channel outbid each other to scoop the pool, we get distortions, outright lies, and sensational broadcasts that really are no help to poor SC, languishing in that dreadful Bali Hilton prison. Today's episode on Ch 9 with Tracy Grimshaw was the most disgusting display of ineptness, and obscenity I have ever had to watch. Interviewing BigShot, Paris, Hatoepa the current PR guru lawyer who is 'bono' representing SC in her fight for 'justice'.He was expressing himself in English as best he could = which incidently Tracy was mocking. Before the cameras were turned off, she rediculed his efforts, openly laughed at his pronouncments, and cojoined her partners quips with the most blatant display of 'gutter' manners ever. For a TV host, she rated zilch in my books - more, at least hotshot speaks another language which as I recollect Tracy has trouble even remembering her 'lines'.
Further, the TV channels are obsessed with ratings - viewers are fed a daily mixture of xenophobic tripe that is meant to stir up anti Asian sentiments. Since the White Austtalia Policy demise, has festered and now gained 'respectibility' for these scum to emerge from the woodwork and voice their 'two bits' worth i,e give us back our Tsunami contributions !! Indian givers. Corruption..as if the Royal Commission on the Police services in Qld, SA,NSW have unearthed nothing but Mother Teresa's. Political interference..Cris Endersen's claims the Sydney Airports were devoid of any underhand activities, Ho ho,we advocate drug referals,methodone, shooting galleries,syringe dispensers, rehab, safe houses,marijuana growing, smoking and dilivery, amphetimes, manufacturing labs, in fact the whole gamut of illegal drugs, yet we 'holier than thou' proclaim to anyone who will listen we are NOT soft on Drugs, when in fact we are the exact opposite. The Judicary have never tackled the growing problem. The State's are NOT likely too, the Fed's have 'other' more important issues at hand. So for us hoi palloi, we fiddle while Rome burns.
