He never introduces new topics. He has the same ole same ole same ole people appearing on his program. Like Noel Pearson who has been the only ATSI representative Mackenxie ever has. Yet when you talk to the murris around town, they all say the same thing, "Pearson does not speak for me!" <br />Mackenzie peddles hate and division and has done enormous damage polarising this city.

If he bothered to spend some time reading and getting a bit of local knowledge, he would know it was the professional crocodile shooters themselves who lobbied the government to stop the killing because the crocs were fast disappearing. There is a book called "Crocodile Man" written by a Brian Peach which explains it all. The book is about the professional croc shooters of the North.

I laughed so hard at his ludicrous statements...laughed on the one hand, nearly cried on the other in case by some chance someone actually had the stupidity to believe him!
