There is a continuous barrage of anti-police, anti-authority and lets face it, anti-Australian negging in the media, on OLO too.

So it is good to occasionally put up one of the thousands of good stories that either never get told or are shunted off the front page.

Here is the story with timeline and photos covering the search and rescue of a 5yr old girl who was missing for 24 hours in SE Qld. It is a triumph of fast and effective action by police especially and of emergency services, strongly supported by a willing public who complied to the letter with police instructions.

Well worth reading the full story and flipping through the photos to see Australians and their police and emergency services in action. A couple of minutes reading that dispels the fog of the rotten, wrong things that the serially disaffected, the cynical protest party politicians and lobbyists with an eye on getting access to taxpayers' $$ say about Australia and Australians.

Possibly the link may not always be effective. However in that case, hopefully the news services or current affairs do the right thing in this case.

We have a close-knit community of English speaking family values with almost no long-hairs or bald heads. Shoes are traditional. And they without exception drive on their side of the road and are rarely sideways round bends.

"barrage of anti-police, anti-authority and lets face it, anti-Australian"

Typical comment from a member of the rabid right who favours a authoritarian police state, and if your not a supporter of the OTB style authoritarian police state then you are considered anti-Australian, more like anti Nazi.
Beach, are you trying to insinuate Greens, the ones you often refer to as the "protest party". don't want missing 5 years olds found. Your first Hitler like comment sums you up to a tee.
Still claiming you are the Mr Moderate of the forum. LOL

p/s I didn't open your link, as a matter of PC safety, I have not done so ever since you posted one containing a virus, with no explanation or apology.

Yes, otb ..the story is good enough to stand on its own as a thread starter.

There was no need for the added extra - a la "...serially disaffected, the cynical protest party politicians and lobbyists with an eye on getting access to taxpayers' $$..."

Great news that they found the little girl!

Myself and a whole lot of other people were busy tweeting any new advice for searchers during the search.

I won't take this opportunity to put the boot into anyone - if that's okay with otb?

It would not be nice if any " anti-police, anti-authority and lets face it, anti-Australian negging in the media," people were involved in the work of searching there. Let's hope Queensland Police sorted out the bad eggs before they became active.

Did anyone watch Four Corners tonight and how the Northern Territory Government is running a Juvenile Guantanamo Bay.
