Blame the media. If ratbag protestors were ignored - whether they are disrupting traffic or not singing the national anthem - they would have no reason to put on their childish performances. They are immature, craving attention. Don't give it to them.

It really is time to put a real cost on this sort of disruptive action.
Hasbeen,
Too right, we should find out & name the bureaucrats involved in these bungles !

Dear o sung wu,

Sorry I missed your post to me until now. You must have thought me rude for not replying in a timely manner.

It appears you are wanting to take me to task about the language I used in addressing runner. You felt it was because I didn't agree with his opinion. I can assure you it wasn't. There are people on here with whom I hold vastly different opinions but I get on fine with.

No mate it comes down to attitude. Runner didn't start this thread to give his opinion rather it was to gloat, to blow a raspberry at those who give a damn about the future of the planet and their kids futures. It was this I took him to task over.

I would have thought that you as a policeman would have employed the attitude test on many occasions. People like runner are never going to pass it in a blue fit.

But there is another consideration. You will often see contributors like runner vent their spleen toward others in so called general terms.

Here is an example from runner; “Steelie of course its you lefties who have a mortgage on compassion. You are sickening and very much part of the problem.”.

He can always claim he used the term 'you' in a general sense not a personal one.

I much prefer to be upfront and call someone out directly without playing the game. It is indeed a failing. But I'm more than happy to be respectful to those who are respectful to others. It is just that runner is not one of those people.

Anyone know if Adani has employed anyone yet ?

Individual, there was a news item of a group building access roads
to the site, so the answer is yes !
