Hey there... My name's Marcel Dorney. I was an eyewitness to the police action at Queensbridge Road, South Melbourne, 7.30 pm September 12, at the blockade of the WEF. I'm sending this out to let anybody who might be interested know that the ABC's Media Watch are trying to gather information regarding Andrew Bolt's regurgitation of the Victorian Police' spin on S12 in October 2nd's Herald-Sun, where Bolt claimed that S12 pm was sparked by protesters brutalising the heroic Sgt Mark Reid, who had dived headfirst into the crowd to try and save a child on his father's shoulders, and whose mates went over to help him, just like Gallipoli, and then this whole mess started and lefties got hurt and started crying brutality and the cops' feelings have been hurt. Anyway. If you were there, you don't need to be told. See indymedia.org for details and the story of Wade Laube's photograph of Reid busting heads, captioned to give the impression he was fighting for his life against the Communist hordes. But if you were lucky enough to be in the front line(!) and you saw the initial contact of police and crowd, Justin Pooley at Media Watch wants to hear from you. Contact details below - just watch yourself and play it carefully. The ABC have been alright, but they're still operating within strict guidelines, and I can't vouch 100% for Pooley's credibility...
