//What I said was there is room for alternative opinions as to the merits of the industry as it now operates.//

Unfortunately this particular piece of propaganda isn't just offering alternative opinions, it's promulgating 'alternative facts'. I take a dim view of film-makers telling outright lies to people poor dumb Muricans and Europeans who don't know any better and might be hoodwinked by this work of fiction.

If you have to lie to people in order to dissuade them from eating roo, it suggests that it's because there are no persuasive factual arguments against doing so.

//This film, which I have not seen, offers some alternative which all I am saying is, people have a right to express that alternative opinion.//

Do they have a right to invent their own 'alternative facts' if it's supposed to be non-fiction? Or is this one of those movies that is 'based on a true story', i.e. a complete load of cobblers from opening credits to end credits?

//I am always suspicious of those who react to criticism with howls of "how dare you question me!" as is evident in this case//

Yes, how dare I question Comrade Rhiannon or lying liars and the lies they tell. Obviously those particular people should be above criticism. Naughty Toni.

//what is wrong with a 'Vegetarian Venison Shish Kebab on a Organic Skewer with a Dill Sauce'//

Either the venison or the vegetarian - it can be one or the other, but not both. Unless it's a combination meat kebab, featuring venison and the flesh of dead vegetarians. That would be OK, albeit illegal.

Toni, have you seen the film in question, now answer truthfully.

Toni, do you have any idea how many wild pandas there are left in Ethiopia? I bet you don't have a clue.

They've done this before with kangaroos. They've done it with mulesing. Bit of a din from (mainly) frustrated, unattractive women, and it was all over. No harm to Australian industry or exports. Greens have yet to realise that most people are just not into them.

Actually, many young people are.

I stated on another discussion that when voters
are unhappy with the major parties they are
looking to giving their vote to someone else.
Enter the Greens.

Toni, I take it from your lack of a response to <<Toni, have you seen the film in question, now answer truthfully.>> Posted by Paul1405, Saturday, 10 March 2018 11:23:15 AM. I know you read the post as you responded to the second part 35 minutes later.
That the truthful answer is NO, I HAVE NOT SEEN THE FILM, but I base my hysterical rage on the hearsay and opinions of others. If, and I suspect that is the case, all I can say is fan-f'n-tastic on your part. Credibility ZERO.
I could say it is the most factual and truth film on the subject ever made. AND if I ever actually get to see it, in the flesh, it will no doubt confirm my opinion.

Too late now to cloud the issue with a little white lie.

I'll ask, has anyone slse who has posted seen the film in question in its entity? A simple yes/no is all that is required. Remember what put Toni off, now answer truthfully.
