He has either been grossly misinformed or alternatively lives in la la land.

To blatantly espouse incorrect information as he did in the public arena, to my mind, is terribly mischievous.

To say the North West Star reported “that John was tossed out as mayor of Burke Shire by Annie Clark” is ridiculous.

Annie Clarke never stood against John at any Burke Shire election.

Annie I’m sure would be scratching her head at this statement, or more like it, would still be giggling.

You obviously have missed the point and space does not allow me to enlighten you further.

No doubt you have tried to fool some of the people some of the time, but remember, you cannot fool all the people all of the time.

Please try to get your story right in the future.

It may make a good one.

By the way to have Akubra name a hat after John “The Honest John” says it all.

Keep up the straight talk John.

Plenty out there appreciate it!
