Watching the Channel 9 News tonight you would have thought that we (the DLP) were the nasty interlopers raining on someone else's parade. The News ran an interview with the anti-Trevor Grace rallly organiser who claimed that they had 'done the right thing' and were angry at being gazumped by us.
I gave an interview to the same journalist making it clear that we infact were the rightful party on the day - not them - becuase we had followed the correct ptotocol and booked the rally in the appropriate manner with the sargeant at arms of the parliament. Did they put this side of the story? No, not at all!
Such is the balanced and objective journalism that exists in this state at the moment. Shame!
As a post script, I learnt shortly after my speech that the D4D lead candidate whom I mentioned in my speech and whose group I attacked, fell ill last night and was on life support. Had I kown that I don't think I'd have changed anything. His views are his views and my attack was on the organisation.
Having said that, in your charity, please join me in a prayer for Dr. Collier, his family and friends at this time of difficulty.
If you feel so motivated, why not phone Channel Nine and give them a few well chosen words (polite of course) about their objectivity.
