At least there does to be some people out there with good sense. Now if only the same could be said about the idiots (mostly in the media, but also some of our 'enlightened' politicians) rambling on about the supposed furore Big Day Out organiser Ken West made after allegedly banning Australian flags at this year's Sydney event. What a media beat-up. Read here for SMH reader comments. It's heartening to see some people are not being caught up in the sensationistic attention this issue has received. I was just talking to a good friend who was present when Ken made his comment to the Daily Telegraph, who confirms that this has all resulted from a comment made in a private conversation taken out of context. What a surprise...
