Deaths overlooked 22/4/2009
I’d think even a few Spencer St Pravda readers will reply to this letter to The Age today, pointing out a glaring omission:
What cover-up?
I AM trying to determine just what it is that the Opposition claims the Government is trying to cover up. I have seen no damning statements by any minister that require cleaning up, such as “children overboard”.
In fact, it seems the Government is being accused of a cover-up because it is saying little and letting the relevant authorities give out details. We know a boat was intercepted, there was a fire, the boat sank and the survivors were rescued. Unless there is something of some magnitude that deserves more scrutiny, I see nothing that merits trashing normal procedure in reporting these events.

Um, five deaths are not of sufficient magnitude to deserve more scrutiny. Nice one, Geoff.
Not only the five deaths, they put the lives of our Servicemen at risk and for that they should be shot and I mean shot dead like they would be in their own country if it happened there, when they settle here they want to maintain their own culture so let us give them the pleasure of it from the start.
Ah yes, the old “Move on folks, nothing to see here”.
How right you are Bernard, I was only offering to allow them to live up to their culture like they do when they settle here??
