aussie aussie aussie oi oi oi
The reason why Im PD Off is that even after what I posted the other day about what some of the tourists/and their families are saying in our media and others (tv, talkback, etc) this post below gets posted in the sound off thread (and of course I cant reply there so hence the reason for this thread now). Now I dont want to single out MM here because that wouldnt be fair as MM isnt the only one who has complained about the other countries/tourists/their families etc.
So Ive gone back and found some of the posts from the other day. So to these posters and to any others who are pissed about the tourists/other countries I ask you to please read some of the following info with an open mind and then maybe you might be a bit more understanding on WHY a lot of tourist, their countries, their family are PD Off and saying so.
My apologies in advance as this is going to be huge BECAUSE Im going to reply to these post Plus Im going to post again some of the info that I posted a couple of days ago Plus im going to link articles.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeh here goes
Blues comment * MM if you keep reading you will find out why a lot of these countries are angry because many of their people where just abandoned by tour operators/companies, your government and officals (this was even before Katrina hit) AND also the most disgusting one of all. After tourists payed for their own evacuation buses YOUR Government took the buses all 20 of them. Articles following about your Governemnt taking buses paid for by these tourists and their families.Oh yeh and then the tourists were left and told to walk to the convention center, if im remembering right this was wedneday.
BTW our government offered your government help with teams of emergency relief workers. These are the same ones who went to Bali and to the Asian Tsunami etc. Your government REJECTED the offer they stated (and i have linked this before in another post) only Americans will be evacuating because of the lawlessness that is happening.
:waitasec: Ok so all our countries (not just aussies) where told you have to wait we will get your people out, its just to dangerous.
Well if it was so dangerous how come all the media was walking/driving/boating around?????????
Aussie media was there, they filmed in the dome and at the convention centre, Uk media, your media etc etc
So medias ok BUT NOT our gov emergency relief workers, Not the UK's etc ???????? I wonder why that was???????
Oh and btw Since our media was allowed in they just happened to know where some of our people where so they just picked them up along the way.
So that actually saved some seats for others on those evacuation buses. Oh and they also took out some elderly sick americans, you see our media was driving in, in the morning, going back out of NO for lunchbreak, driving back in after lunch and driving out before the curfew . All those trips back and forth ment empty seats, so why not fill them.
Funny thing though our media apparently got in trouble for taking our people out?????????? Figure that out!
Ummmmmmm less you need to read on as well. Tourists werent dirty,hungry living in a cesspool at the dome??????? Total crap, some of them at the hyatt were from the Dome and they got taken from there because your thugs where hunting them down. PLUS some of these tourist actually paid for their own evacuation buses BUT YOUR GOV took them.
Now since family members living here (im talking aussieland) actually helped with paying for those buses BUT when they turned up (buses) your gov (FEMA) commendeered them *sp* and just left those tourist to walk the streets hmmmmmm well families where pretty pissed and boy did they let our gov know. Not just the families though, the aussie public too oh and the media. Now the same goes with the UK, Ireland etc etc
Then those buses turned up for those at the hyatt.
BUT the prob was not all tourist where at the hyatt who paid for those buses, nope, and a lot on those buses werent even tourists apparently. The tourists who paid for them were kicked out of the hotel they were at (not the hyatt) and those people who paid for those buses where stranded at the over pass and alse where.
Also some aussies who paid for those buses didnt even get out by YOUR people they ended up being rescued on Saturday and Sunday by OUR media (channel 7 and channel 9).
How happy do you think the families are of the young females in their 20's who helped get those buses (lots of phone calls etc from here in australia to the US) only to have them taken by your gov.
I'll be posting the articls and links about the buses so read on

Melissa Marshall I am SO SICK and tired of people blaming The President over this tragedy. That is the most rediculous thing I have heard. I am so sick of people turning this into race. HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE.
I am sick of other countries bitching because their people were not saved fast enough. Uh hello there were alot of people not saved. What were we suppose to do say "go find the tourists and leave the others behind???"

less0305 And yet the MAYOR sent buses to collect tourists from the Hyatt and put them AHEAD of the line at the superdome to get them out. Tourists who were not dirty, hungry, and living in the cesspool of the dome for four days were taken out on buses BEFORE those less fortunate at the MAYOR'S direction
