fish and chips
Yesterdays news is today’s fish and chip wrapping.
Having viewed the popular media and not so popular our ABC, I have noted the Licensed Engineers dispute has fallen from editorial worth amidst tyre plant future closure, bad parenting and Mugabe’s view of democracy.
No doubt the Australian flying public and overseas visitors using the system have been inconvenienced by disruption of their agenda, but accordingly it has become hardly news worthy amid the headline grabbing fray of the contemporary world.
A woman locked up in Bali, whose headline grabbing lawyer falsely accuses baggage handlers as complicit to her plight makes news.
That headliner should apologise to that hard working group and pay compensation for sullying their integrity.
The LAMEs if not careful may become anathemas rather than people pursuing a worthy cause.
Its all in the timing and delivery of message, the public generally has a short and intemperate attention span.
Given the passage of time the viewers may choose to use the written message as a liner for the cat box.
Though the protagonists may revel now in their shouts, in the future they may have to withdraw because the timing was wrong and the opposition controls the hearts and minds of those with the short attention span.
