Going down fighting

Regarding the introduction of cage fighting.
Well done Dan what a contribution to Victoria, if that is the best you can do, one can only feel sorry for your mentality and moral values.
We have to ask ourselves what and who applied the pressure for you to allow such a barbaric event to be held in Victoria, it would be demeaning to all other sports-people to call it a sport.
It brings to mind the brutal acts and events held by the Romans in the Coliseum, perhaps you might like to go to the next event, take you wife and children, ask for a ringside seat, and when you are splattered with the blood and spittle of the combatants, remind your children that it is a sport and the fighters are really enjoying themselves.
You have been there 100 days, thrown away 7000 jobs; cost us compensation which could will run into the millions of dollars, allowed the CFMEU to call off drug and alcohol testing on workers that may or not be affected by drugs or alcohol and have access to cranes and all sorts of heavy equipment, and now we have introduced cage fighting into our fair state.
Thanks Dan!
Peter Giles,
Cranbourne.
