trust me not one truck, not a single one was stopped from going.

How do you know ? Were you there ? Were you at the border ?
If you were not there how do I know that I can trust you ?
Are you saying some labour appartchic told you so ?

Are you saying I am repeating some shock jock spin or are you repeating
some labour spin ?

My suggestion was that both could be right, or is that spin ?

It's incredible how someone who wasn't there can categorically state they know the facts. It is a typical response from the left, nothing but a bunch of lairs trying to reduce the damage they have brought upon themselves and this country in the past few years. These fools may well go down in Australian history as the biggest bunch of liars, cheats, fraudsters and thief's of the 21 century. They will be remembered for millennia as the scum of Australian politics!

And that report today that climate change is going to cause people to suffer depression, anxiety and other mental illnesses and lead them to an increased use of anti depressant drugs and suicide is so true. Only not for not tackling climate change. But for actually having to endure the down and out lies from this bunch of snake oil salesmen day in and day out for the past few years Ad nauseam!

Only six months ago there would not have been a with drawal.
Then, even now to some extent, the reporters from this section of the media, have shock jocks within the ranks.
Next week, in far away England.
Parliament returns from its rest.
That may be why this unexpected act took place.
It will be,the start of a title wave.
After it?
But because of England's inquiry, we all may just benefit after the damage from that wave is over.
A truly free press/media? great if it comes.

Bazz I will answer you, you do not deliberately insult.
Mate how do you know why your radio is a transceiver both transmits and receives.
How do you know how long a wave length is.
[We both are ham radio operators]
Bazz, look, read the press, it is still free here on line, I have this morning posted links.
From the Australia, Sydney Herald, Sydney Telegraph.
Read Goggle news Australia, NZ, Canada English, US,bit of a flop , London Guardian , Telegraph.
ABC Australian site BBC New York times, chuck in WA and Victorian paper.
Bazz if we try we can take our brain to the grave with us.
I am addicted to learning,everyday I hunt information, CHALLENGE MY OWN VIEWS.
I can do this 13 years old till 65 I worked ,every hour minute second it took to do the job.
Its my hobby my new life, I break soon for my garden.
But I can post links, from every Australian city, saying clearly no single truck EVER WAS STOPPED FROM ATTENDING.
Mate, this we both must learn,truth is far too valuable to drag in the mud of politics, the truth is Alan Jones is no man known for balance or truth.
While I live I grow, I do challenge My views do you?
I invite you to look again at this issue, without looking for me to lie on behalf of my party,can you put truth first and goggle the incident?

Some of you posters are unbelievable. Truckies interviewed have not stated they were held up at the border. Media Watch did a piece on this last night. One truckie said the line up outside the border was 'planned' so that trucks could meet up and all drive in together. The organiser denies there was a hold up and has said Jones' was mistaken.

This is typical right wing shock jock spin people pure and simple. Don't be mugs.

How is this spin doctoring any better than the ALP and the Thompson affair. At least in that case there has to be a presumption of innocence. No such concession to the police in the ACT who did not hold up trucks at the border. The congestion that morning was mininal. Many people took the day off to avoid the publicised chaos which did not happen. Trucks did circle Parliament House and toot their horns (I heard them) but the only road which did not have access was the road up to the House and that had to be kept clear to allow access into and out of Parliament House.

This is what is wrong with politics - everyone jumps up and down when a commentator or pollie from the opposing 'side' errs but acts all coy and hard done by when their 'side' is picked up for falsifying events. No wonder the politicians keep up with the bullshite.

Sheesh...a bit of perspective would not go astray.

The explanation lies within the amygdala - apparently an overly developed pair produces too much of the "danger, danger, Will Robinson" hormone and results in reason being abandoned for extreme reaction. Such as the shock jock.

Not always good to have a big pair.
