The media portrayed them out to be religious ritual killers that sacrificed their daughter for spiritual purposes.
Turns out the real story was true and no one in the media copped any flack at all after the fact.
Nice one.
The media portrays a lot of things, look what they have done with our football team ,players and club over the years.I take as much notice of the press at times as i do of Yank politicians.
Thought that (guilt)may have been the case re the Chamberlains..Until in the few years following a dingo was chased away on Fraser Island trying to drag a child away.And a later case where a child was indeed being dragged away and saved in the bush.
Spoke to an old bushy,and he claimed he has seen dingoes carry small wallabies and roos away with ease.When wild dogs are hungry real hungry their instincts take over.They'll come into camping sites.
The real story was knocked on the head, partially with the false claim and scientific check by the so called blood in the car evidence.The fact the mother would almost have to be an Olympic athlete to kill the child and hide it in the short period of time, with black trackers immediately on the scene after they police called in.And some of the police evidence had more holes in it ,than Swiss cheese.
Myself and three mates in our youth have been on the end of police over reaction,which was shown to be nothing more than innocent obstruction(a traffic offence at worst) and judged accordingly.
The law at times serves its purpose, other times it can be an ass.
