STEVE WILSON: Re your article Lessons from the Jade Monkey saga (InDaily, July 8, 2013) the writer goes to great lengths to mention the Honourable this and the CEO of that, and seemingly as an afterthought: “a ragtag bunch of musicians and hipsters”. Say what? He may as well have called them “assorted riffraff”!
These are the very people who work at (more often than not for little or no financial reward) and/or attend and support the very type of venues we are talking about. Watch out Liam, they might be dangerous! After all they are artists trying to maintain some sort of scenario where they can express themselves. They are due some respect, IMHO more than the politicians and especially the members of the AHA who would normally be at home warming themselves by a pile of burning $100 notes painlessly extracted from the public by the pokies.
