RUNAWAY TRAIN-RUNAWAY WAYNE

There are still heaps of unanswered questions about the driver-less runaway train in Melbourne. It went through 13 Stations at speeds of up to 100 kph. And it took sixteen driverless minutes to reach and crash at Spencer Street station.

How could it roar through thirteen stations from Broadmeadows to Spencer Street without being stopped? Why weren’t the people on the train at Spencer Street about to depart for Bacchus Marsh alerted and told to get off? Why wasn’t THAT train moved? What happened to the dead man’s handle emergency brake?

Ten people injured. Even Premier Bracks admitted on the Mitchell radio programme this morning that we are lucky there were no fatalities.

Think of it:

A few days ago a train WITH a driver on board went off the rails and seven people were killed. This current snafu was, by a mere fluke, not a massive disaster.

But the story that dominated the office gossip today was the Page One story in the Herald Sun -- the same story that dominated the headlines a year ago next month.,

The off-field antics of the so-called King Wayne Carey. King Kong more like it if you catalogued all his monkey business.

A talented but arrogant, selfish and self-centred misogynist pig.

Now with the footie season about to start with his new club Carey is embroiled in fresh allegations about late night partying, naked spa romps a damaged hotel room and a nasty dispute over a camera and photographs.
