Dear Sir,

Thanks for your email to Media Watch. Can you keep us posted if you get a reply? Do you have any idea why you have been stopped from talking to Oldfield?


Best

Jo Puccini

Dear David

I have been talking to your program for a while. During our discussions we have plenty of common positions and you have complimented me a number of times. Most of my topics were dedicated to improve understanding and reduce tension or confrontation. Some of those items were about Australian life and society also.

However, lately I am unable to talk to you as I cannot pass through your switch board! I do not know if it is because of you, your producer or the station management!!

I also noticed you attend most of my emails and we do not have any known animosity.

I therefore would like to know, who is silencing me? Is it you, your producer or your management?


Thanks in advance.

Sincerely yours


Faruque Ahmed

Dear Frank

I have been talking to your program for a while. During our discussions we have plenty of common positions and you have complimented me a number of times. Most of my topics were dedicated to improve understanding and to reduce tension or confrontation. Some of those items were about Australian life and society too.

However, lately I am unable to talk to you as I cannot pass through your switch board! I do not know if it is because of you, your producer or the station management!!

The week before last, on Saturday morning your producer rang me straight away and then kept me hanging for three hours. The following day (Sunday) when I recalled I inquired about the unusual behavior displayed by him the previous night, he told me, “I have tried three different phones and you are un-contactable.” Never the less, I rang him once more on Sunday morning, he agreed to call me back which he did, yet he placed me on hold after he had called me. He told me three times on this occasion, “you are next Faruque,” but on this occasion similar to the others I was not put to air and spoke to no one.

I therefore would like to know, who is silencing me? Is it you, your producer or your management?

Thanks in advance.

Sincerely yours

Dear Jason

Today I went to TCS Head Quarters located at Alexandria. This is also the Head Quarters of many associates of the taxi mafia including Combined Communication Network.

If you enter in to that property any thinking person would gain the impression that all taxi drivers are somehow criminals and terrorists! Many overly directing and unnecessary signs are shown such as “do not enter", "taxi drivers not allowed beyond this point" etc. etc. Control, control, control they silently scream. After all, “You’re only taxi drivers…don’t-you-know?” is the unspoken yet underlying message. The reality is this network and all other taxi networks survive on the taxi drivers’ blood, sweat and tears!

Taxi drivers existed before taxi networks even came into being. The taxi networks were and are created to serve the needs of the taxi driver members including the drivers that drive the vehicles and pay accordingly to do so. So that in turn the operator or owner then pays the taxi network to service all of the drivers that are involved.

Most importantly, I went there to fix my radio which is a life line for taxi drivers! I noticed ten taxis were waiting to be fixed but not one human being was available to attend these taxis or drivers!! In the midst of all of this I noticed one little guy, possibly suffering from sleep deprivation running around like a headless chook.

Now under the NSW legislations taxis must be attached to a Radio Network and pay whatever money those networks demand. Yet, thanks to the NSW Labor Party (RIGHT WING), no law compels these radio networks to do the right thing in respect to them competently and respectfully servicing the persons and stakeholders that allowed those very networks to continue to function.

Please let us know why taxi drivers have to put up with this kind of idiocy, non service and dictatorial controlling?

With thanks

Sincerely yours

Further to “Jason Morrison of 2GB Drive (Re: Taxi Mafia)” I rang your program and your producer said she would ring me back and she did not. In frustration I am now emailing the information which was the subject of my call directly to you. You neither read my email on air nor did your producer ring me back as she said she would, I ask are those actions or rather lack of action because of the noticeable taxi network related advertising that is broadcast on your network? Jason where is the independence and fair mindedness that absolutely must be the foundation for your show and 2GB’s raison de etre?

If the public senses even a skerrick of doubt as to your credibility, integrity and championing of the truth it’s all over Red Rover.

Would you like to apply a size 12 boot to the posterior of your producer for failing to fulfill a clear commitment to me or would you personally like to claim responsibility for this situation?

Not good Jason

Not happy Jason
