lol, why am i not surprised.

when confronter he says

"...I think I'm probably the best example you could have for a Current Affair to go to...I mean if you're going to do a story say about a drug addict or someone whose involved in domestic violence, I would have thought it'd be perfect to go to someone who is a reformed drug addict or someone who regrets being involved in domestic violence.

so he's saying he's the best person to go to? in the cases he cites the examples are true, but he's not reformed he's still being punished. he won't be reformed until he gets his licence back and shows himself to be no longer up to old tricks.

The thing that really annoys me is theres no mention of his past "experiences" in the article, nor is it even an article on drink driving.... so realisticly he isnt the best person to be in a "street racing/Hoon" segment.

Another thing i found out that most of the clips of Japanese cars racing/hooning was taken from youtube, and are originally from JAPAN! So what releveance does Japanese "hoons" have to an Australian "issue"?

They even had some moron cop saying that he had his team working on finding these idiots, in reference to the video. The damn thing was made 4 or 5 years ago, by professional drivers, on a closed road and filmed professionally.

Gotta love ACA's twist on legitimate footage

i hope the chaser does a story on this

unfortunately not many people watch MediaWatch in comparison to the masses that watch ACA and read papers like the Telegraph or Herald Sun

[Cane_It]

ACA and Today Tonight.... what a load of rubbish those shows are... we seem to have a thread every couple of weeks responding to their latest drivel.

[vlv8vic]

doesn't change what the story was about though. Thats what should be important!

[gopher]

how about hypocritical politicians that give speeches on drink drivers and then get caught themselves?
