"Hello Everyone, WE ARE NOW IN SHUTDOWN MODE The media blanket has been lifted and the good news is that we will be on Sunrise tomorrow, with coverage from Nine, ABC and Win TV as well, we are receiving news that major carriers in the south will not be loading any freight out on Monday, this kind of support across the country is being reported on a regular basis, the greater the impact the quicker we will achieve results, then everyone can go back to work. I have to stress that if you’re obligated to carry out a certain freight task in order not to impact on your client or your staff you must give it due consideration, it is not our intention to cause anyone undue hardship. The purpose of this shutdown is to have minimum impact. Clare Mildren has been working overtime on our press and achieving great results, (don’t tell her I said that) the next few days will prove very hectic when the shutdown is in full swing. Peter Whytcross has flown down from MacKay to help, many of you will have spoken to him as he has been take all my calls, he has been carrying two phones around and sending texts to as many people as possible , Also Tom Desmond has been doing a lot of legwork behind the scenes. John and Viv Couper have allowed us to turn their unit on the Brisbane River into ‘campaign central’ and we owe them a big thank you. As I finish this update I have just seen the news and the Militants are still getting all the press, Clare is at her wits end, Seven and Nine are not doing us any favours, sensationalism is still the only drawcard. The updates will continue as we get more news. Mick Pattel" . "2008-07-27T08:44:16Z"^^http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime . "2008-07-27T08:44:16Z"^^http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#dateTime .
