could have saved an entire industry far earlier.
Lexi,
many on OLO have tried to prevent it & you lot wouldn't listen. Don't try any blame diverting tactics now. The fault is the ALP Government's & no-one else's !

Lexi,

The panicked, poll driven Labor idiocrasy killed the industry, there is no one else to blame.

Yet again, as a sign of our devisions,the thread has become Labor vs Liberal.
I an ALP supporter took the stick to them on this issue in threads while the thing was white hot.
I think they got the Ban wrong, not the end results,in fact asked that yabby and I fix it we could have, in a week.
But remember please leave your biases or inability to see other than your view at the door,bucket provided.
The FILM and releasing of it, the playing of it, by the Green ABC started this issue, fueled it, had maybe most Australians wanting to end the trade.
If Mr Abbott was to see political gain in anything he would do it.
And Shadow Minister, circling the wagons around Lexi may be fun.
But while you know my thoughts this second event,may only be an invention using parts of the one we know is true.
2 years from now your side will be in power you will be playing Lexis roll, asking for fairness and balance, not much chance bloke.

Belly,

"2 years from now your side will be in power you will be playing Lexis roll, asking for fairness and balance, not much chance bloke."

I have never had fairness or balance from Lexi, and would not expect it or ask for it later.

Belly,
You couldn't be more wrong with your Labor vs Liberal quip. The Liberals weren't anywhere near this knee jerk pro disaster plan. There is no-one else to blame except Madam PM herself.
Stop wasting everyones time with trying to excuse this. There simply is no excuse.

SM,

You wound me to the core.
You've never had fairness or balance
from me? Really? Is that how you
really feel? And I thought we were friends
just having robust discussions.
