Is it ok for politicians to lie straight to our children’s faces?

Despite police information that Mr Barnett was on his way an hour earlier, Mr Barnett decided to arrive at the Civic Centre in Broome for a meeting with Liberal Party VIP invitation only, in the dark.

A hot and sweaty crowd dripped their impatience and kept their outrage to themselves in an agreed upon meeting with key spokespeople from the anti gas campaign.

Campaign members were there to show their ongoing anger and concern about the way the Liberal government is imposing the gas hub project on the town of Broome.

When confronted with a little girl who wanted to know why Mr Barnett was going to let Woodside damage James Price Point, his reply was “I am not”! The little girl jumped up and down and got so excited when he told her that. We all know politicians tell lies to further their interests but how far do we go when we start telling bald face lies straight to little girls faces.

One of the liberal attendees was heard to say to an ultimate local, pearling pioneer family, “get back on your boats and go back where you came from. The audacity and sheer ignorance of people will never cease to amaze me!

In an interview with Nick Wevers, spokeswoman for the NO GAS CAMPAIGN, “A very clever delay by the Premiere to arrive in the dark, so he couldn’t see the banners and signs but I’m sure enough pictures and stories have gone out on Facebook already so people know whats going on. There were little kids answering questions, the crowd was really well behaved and Mr Barnett agreed to meet with the no gas campaign and we will be pursuing that further.
