I think this is the link http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=610556

but it might not be working, I've had difficulties

It is a MASSIVE shame there can't be some sort of division between genuine car enthusiasts and hoons in the media.

Although I love 60 minutes every week as they do usually do the story from both sides, tonight I wont be holding my breath.


without a doubt street racing and dumb, dangerous and their should be penalties it is just a shame that stories like these reflect badly on our culture and scene even if we dont street race. (yes I have seen what is in my sig, it is a joke)

Well thought Id just give everyone the heads up hopefully it wont be 14 minutes of P plate bashing, Modified car bashing, one sided journalism



7:30pm tonight, channel 9

If you watched the previews carefully, you'd notice this appears to be a story shot from the US (and as the link states).

I call it... young people bashing... that's what it is. Yes perhaps young drivers who do this sort of thing are the majority however... it's very biast. Every time one sided stories like this aires... it contains similar content of the previous report and the one before that and the one before that. They will always utilise the same material from the previous stories or some historic YOUTUBE media. *clap clap* for google and youtube... you can make a story about anything off the internet rolleyes.gif

anyways let's see what tonight's material consists of...

actually if any news source is going to be as un-bias as possible, itll probly be 60 minutes, so give it the benefit of doubt. usually it takes a more professional approach to reporting

Not looking forward to watching it. In the previews, they mention someone let off a gun. So, the general population are going to start thinking us "Hoons" will be carrying loaded weapons. It's going to be bullshit.

One sidedness. ass holes.

I have faith that 60 minutes will be unbias as they are the only acurrant affairs progam the actually have an idea about the real world, and i respect the show greatly for the coice of stories they cover and the manner in which they cover them.

dude what the fuc k - i've been in a two-car collision before (abeit a rear end) and its no fuc king laughing matter. its bad to say, but they got what they deserved bloody idiots. stuff like this is deff what gives us car 'enthusiasts' - not 'hoons' a bad name. just cos we like a loud exhaust or whatev doesnt mean we go round to car parks crashing each others cars ffs

the media is bullshi t, especially in god damned nanny-state australia. fa ggots like these got us the 110 speed limit. ive been a 200 kph plus in a rush in italy, and a cop came straight past us - couldnt give a damn. this is the kinda bullshit the media is doing to australia. faggots like these aren't helping at all. dont put videos on mass public internet site that anyone can see. the media can see it too...


60 mins is tops tho - kinda people i want running my country. compleeeeeetley unbiased and aming for the stuff people want not what they need

+1
60 Minutes actually check information and do deep reserach.... not just another TT or ACA story with footage from japan about mountrain drifters saying its in brisbane lol.



Unfortunately 95% of car related stories in the media are bad, and clearly... judging by the video footage.. it will be slightly negative feedback for the car community.

still, ill be watching *Looks at time*
bye bye

Not at all surprising.

When will people finally get it through their thick skulls that zero tolerance policing has NEVER been an effective method of controlling a problem. There's better solutions, it's not one of them.
