Some good points in this post but you h...Hi Andrew,<br />Some good points in this post but you have a few holes that destroy the credibility of your journalism. <br />I checked your claims about Abbott's "Purloined fire truck" pressa, it seems you are making up a travesty while commenting that political reporting is poor, making up stuff is worse!<br />It's unfortunate you are adding to the lazy commentary that is passed of as online journalism. The NSWRFS clearly had all crews on standby it is not a matter of dispute. <br />Who told you Abbott hijacked the firetruck? I verified the reason why the truck went to Nowra by calling the station, the acting station captain, Darrell said there was "nothing political about the call and laughed at your idea that a truck could be politically "purloined" without anyone noticing or saying something, I guess you forgot to call him (0417 517 015) or anyone else at the station, please straighten out your 'facts'.<br />The all crews on standby release is below. If you can add any credibility to the claims you open this post with I'm all ears and ready to follow the story up. http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/file_system/attachments/State08/Attachment_20130107_C3DA377D.pdf<br />Nigel Gladstonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-86892987477792877642013-01-31T10:17:17.115+11:002013-01-31T10:17:17.115+11:00Andrew no one I know, MSM columnist, blogger, twit...Andrew no one I know, MSM columnist, blogger, twitter 'personality', <i>no one</i> has argued as consistently and emphatically that Tony Abbott will lose the next election than you (your banner headline is unambiguous.) And you have consistently presented many convincing and evidence-based arguments for this view. No one can say you aren't willing to stick your neck out. Way, way out. Dear god, I hope you are right.<br /><br />However, I can only imagine you have something in mind of what you will say if September 15 comes along and Tony Abbot IS Prime Minister of Australia. You must have considered this possibility and what you will write if it happens (touch wood). Otherwise you're even more crazy brave than first appears.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22534369.post-55114635970903768652013-01-31T08:03:28.611+11:002013-01-31T08:03:28.611+11:00Dragsy:
