So 'on camera'. Everyone just states the obvious.
It's safer that way and I would too.
The more intelligent people in the community hardly ever state the obvious, if at all. They know better because making statements about issues that the populace is already aware of injects nothing new into the conversation
When a high ranking police officer or an Education official states the obvious just to be "safe" before the camera, you know they're only thinking of themselves and not being fair dinkum about critical issues facing the community
Here's a good one from the past - I once wrote to the NSW Transport Minister about Greenslips premiums being exorbitant, at the time when "gold plating" was being applied to compulsory third party insurance, getting ready for privatization of Greenslips. The Minister wrote back and in his own stupid words said: "People are killed on the roads" - How obvious was that?, what a drongo
The most ridiculous one I've heard though, was Bill Shorten's "Cancer makes you sick" - That one made him very
unsafe before the camera, and he didn't say it just once, he said it numerous times, supposedly trying to convince us that cancer really
does make you sick
