Forwarded for Bruce and the fairgo group: SUCCESS! Australians Against Mandatory Sentencing now exist in the world outside of email! I did not hear it myself but we made the ABC radio news. PLUS - i was interviewed live on ABC radio this morning. The ABC said that we were based in Alice Springs (since that is where i was on the phone) and that removed the argument that we are outsiders interferring in Territory affairs for the meanwhile. I mentioned that under the CLP one law applies to all and that some tourists souvenir things like cutlery and towels, and with the removal of the discretion of the Magistrates and Judges tourists would face jail. I also said that the NT Tourist Commission had a duty of care to inform tourists of the risk. And that we would be running this campaign up to the Olympic Games. The ABC will be seeking a response from the Tourist Commission as a next moves - so any more messages to them is timely. If this doesn't send a wake up message to the Northern Territory politicians, i don't know what will! Perfect timing as fate would have it. Two days before the by- elections in an election looking for a real issue. It is now over to the candidates in the Darwin by-election to pick up the ball and run with it. I will be off line until Saturday afternoon. Let us each take the time to celebrate our success in some way after some hard work dealing with too much email!!!!
