I've logged a complaint with both the SMH and Telegraph for their shameless behaviour in implicating someone that they knew was innocent and suggest you all do the same. Go to the site and click on the feedback link.

Again this is a difficult subject isn't it.

Just being associated with it seems to provide an opportunity to tarnish your name.

If (he) paid money to simply avoid getting dragged in, which is what I presume happened, it also shows what damage can be done to people by being just associated.

Now that would have been an insightful look at the story, instead credibility has just flown out the window.

RIP sensible debate on the subject

Gunn, of course you may know the oft quoted "television is only there to sell dogfood & cereal". Can't remember who said it first (prob some advertising multimillionaire!).

Viva Foxtel's Ch.14! How our lives have changed for the better because of it.

On a reflective note: some at Seven may be spitting still about losing their footy coverage, but every time anyone goaled, not a microsecond was lost before going off to a detergent ad or whatnot. OK, OK .. I know it's whittering on about the obvious .. but I always wondered why some sports shows had the option/benefit of a moving strip running across the bottom of the screen (golf .. yawn .. probably). Well all that's history now.

Am I still angry about this? Hmmm .. better get back to therapy. Starting March 27th !!!
