The death-mongers are at it again. Nothing must go unchallenged when it comes to cigarette smoking, it seems.
British American Tobacco Australia and
Philip Morris Australia are hiding behind the skirts of a woman, namely one Sheryle Moon, in a trumped-up tricked-out organisation called the Alliance of Australian Retailers. Now, I will bet this brand new organisation is not a registered organisation of employers as other retailers organisations tend to be. Perhaps this one should be registered as a political party - and is it on the Federal Government's list of lobbyists?

Whenever I think of British American Tobacco Australia, I think of the drawn, ill face of
Rolah McCabe and the images of her children in all that followed and flowed from
that dreadful court case.

Lastly, a few words for
Sheryle Moon. You too will enter the Hall of Fame - or should I say the Corridors of Infamy. You will be remembered as the woman who could not respect Rolah McCabe. You will be remembered as someone who followed in the footsteps of
Clayton Utz and the shredded documents. You will be seen as someone who respects only money and your own fifteen minutes of whatever and who disrepects life. You have made your bed, courtesy of a free society, with the purveyors of death and destruction. You have nailed your colours and the colours of a fake organisation in a civil society to your mast. What a legacy, Sheryle!

Hi Brigid
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with your position on this.
I have not seen or heard what Sheryle Moon is doing, but I assume it is about the opposition to plain packaging, and the Ad campaign against the Government.
Ironically, Tony Abbott has apparently come out in support of the plain packaging. That is quite remarkable.
But it raises the question who are the Big Tobacco people trying to persuade, as the vote is lost already, it seems.
Looks like payback.
Punitive advertising just for the spiteful feel of it.
