I answered the phone at a sheep station homestead at one time when no one else was around and it was an ABC reporter, for radio I think. He asked me what my connection with property was and I told him I was a pilot conducting flight training there, he then seized on that and thought this was a good opportunity for him. The guy then proceeded to interview me and tried to get me to say things I didn't think or believe about the NSW government of the day. At the time there been a weather event and a lot of small lambs died which no one saw coming, the fact was even if they had warning what could they do? Australian sheep stations are quite large. Anyway this guy tried to put words in my mouth to the effect the NSW government was to blame for this because of funding cut backs to the weather forecasting people.
