Dear Belly,

Voters are becoming much more savvy.

They're beginning to see through the mud-slinging
tactics. As I stated earlier - winning at
someone else's expense is an old paradigm and an
increasingly obsolete model of success. Matthew Guy
should know better. He's listening to the wrong
advisers.

Foxy,

The posters don't mention the race of the gangs, your assumption that they are black is racist and bigoted.

Shadow Minister,

The facts speak for themselves.

The pamphlet states that "Only the Liberals will stop
gangs hunting in packs" and is accompanied by shadowy
images of 5 young men in hoodies. You can't see their
faces (why not - I wonder, except to convey a certain
message?).

The image was not taken in Victoria. It was
published in London's Evening Standard newspaper in
London in 2012 on a story about gangs in London and has
been used by the Liberals to coincide with a growing
backlash to a recent Channel 7 story suggesting the
city was gripped by an "African Gang" crisis.

The pamphlet encourages people to "connect the dots,"
between the mention of gangs and the recent coverage around
the African Community.

And being an election year - the Liberals are spreading fear
in the community. Using an outmoded tactic that they think
will get them elected.

You called me racist and bigoted because I saw through
their attempts - What does that say about you?

Foxy,

The poster in no way indicated the race of the gangs terrorising Melbourne and went out of their way to use a photo that did not indicate any race. The racial profiling was entirely yours and you are just as racist and bigoted as they are.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Foxy, and we have seen right through you.

It is not easy for Shadow Minister, I have stood in the same spot,knowing your party has blown it, that the man even I thought was a statesman, Turnbull is a cheap beach ball with a thousand holes in it never to fly again, your party walked away even from its once base,I however at such a time put my kicking boots on and demanded better, lashing out at the victor however is entertaining, and I get great joy out of Shadow Minister putting his pain on display

Shadow Minister,

You can make all the denials on behalf of the Liberal
Party here in Victoria. I actually live here and know
Matthew Guy quite well. This was not a good move on
his part. Not only because of the leaflets and the
message on them that was so hideously racist but also
because he targeted the area of Keysborough for
distribution of those leaflets - which has a large
Sudanese community nearby. Tacky way to try to win.
Very off-putting, to say the least.

And your calling me a racist is rather low - even for you.
You owe me an apology Sir.
