I actually volunteer at our local radio station (hence the name) and I was listening to one radio station 'shock jock' whose name will remain annonymous and he stated that Julia Gillard is finished,the Labor Government is finished and that they wont be returned at the next elelctiion.This bloke is a BIG contributor to the Liberal Party he has millions of followers and there are people,like my mother who swear by him every morning.I am a volunteer and if I make comments like him about the Liberal Party I am abused up hill and down dale and listeners here in town tell me to 'GET OFF',so how can one wil these days.
I detest the shock jocks that rave on in the Metro areas and also for that matter in the arvos as well.
Do I name them,I had better not,BUT my comment on the radio every afternoon after one of these segmentas,is'IF you can do better,then get off your FAT ARSES and get up here to YOUR community radio station and show us all how good you are,otherwise keep your trap shut and stop insulting the messenger' I can tell you one thing,there hasnt been one taker in 4 years.
It annoys me that these 'shock jocks' can say these things and get away with it,BUT fellows like me get their head bitten off just because I dare to have a go at the Liberal Party.
I have been a member of the ALP for 20 years,I am proud to be a menber and until some one starts giving me a million bucks a year I will continue to make my mark on the air wavers.
Just for interest sake,we have about 1000 locals that tune into our Community radio station each day,BUT there are 2.500 on the internet in the mornings from around the world,3000 in the afternoons,for myself and 2568 on Sunday nights for our Sunday bloke,so we must be doing something right.
OH how I hate the mud slingers from the Liberal Government.............They have got the SH*TS for not being elected back in 2010 and they are making Julia Gillards job so damn hard.
Just look at the Qld state election,The bloke Campbell Newman,dosent even have a seat and he ias trying to beciome the Premier...I know who I would be votong for and it wouldnt be him.
Got that off my chest,now a word from your sponsors....heheheehehe
