I love how the media finds some new problem every few months, some atrocity in the community and then that just gives them fuel to blame that incident for anything bad that happens for the next few months.
Last year it was the ‘cross city tunnel’. Everything was blamed on the cross city tunnel. Street diversions, bad traffic, premature babies, the price of petrol, hurricanes in America etc….
Then the media discovered ‘ICE’ the drug that is tearing the country apart. Infact I think the drought is probably because of ice. Local media picks up on it a few months later too like our local paper reporting on a fire at a park caused by ice addicts.
Today its all gone to the dogs because the harbor tunnel is now E-tag only. There was a big article in smh today about the sky opening up with lots of rain, as the tunnel closes. ‘Sky opens as tunnel closes to cash’
And then of course there is the global theme of terrorism. bloody terrorism its everywhere. You cant take shampoo on the plane casue you might blow the plane up with your head and shoulders anti dandruff shampoo. You cant leave your backpack on the train station casue you are sick of carrying it. You cant grow a beard, speak Arabic and shop at dick smith. Stupid terrorism. If it wasn’t for Ice addicts using the cross city tunnel the world would be free of terrorism.
