Big egos, big threats, big manipulation, big mess! Standing over people, helping fabricate false Stat. Declarations, misleading the community. These people should go and quickly. ” Boorish?”About as close to the mafia as you could get! Big egos, big threats, big manipulation, big mess! Standing over people, helping fabricate false Stat.

I personally am surprised that the media is not asking the same questions. (That last quote is tongue in cheek} It would be refreshing to see some balance reporting. The press is not there to take sides. it should be their jobs to investigate and report all the facts. <br /><br /> a few choice questions staff and management like:-

1 How often do you follow patrons and stand in their car doors to prevent them from closing the door and leaving ?

2 How often do you call in Liberal staffers to provide Affidavit forms and have them witness them:

3 What is your relationship with Liberal party staffers?

4 Who notified the press?

5 Did you really believe that Ms. Neal could have carried out her threats?

6 Do you have problems with under aged drinking?

7 Did anyone help the staff to write their affidavit?

8 Have any person closely related to former MP for Roberston ever worked at the club?

9 Are you sure you did not know who the patrons were before they told you?

10 What evidence do you have that both were drunk?

11 How long did the so called argument and dispute last?

12 Did you used physical force to stop Ms Neal from entering what appears to be a store room?

This is only an example of the questions I would liked answered and I am sure any capable legal Representative would be asking these questions and many more. I personally am surprised that the media is not asking the same questions. (That last quote is tongue in cheek} It would be refreshing to see some balance reporting.

But a gem this morning, by Michelle Grattan on RN Breakfast, who divulges that the triggering incident was asking restaurant staff to move a couple of tables together! How earth shattering is that? Of course, exactly who said what, in which sequence, to lead to a serious temper tantrum, will never be known. Talk about a storm in a teacup...<br /><br /> Can’t wait for another issue, so that mainstream media circus can move on.
