Hilarious. Even more hilarious that she made it up and went with it. Academy Award to Claire.

Um, the gentleman who was shot is alive. He was not murdered.
According to the Herald, the police have said that following her interview with them, she said that she had not witnessed the crime.

You’re right Tim, she’s a dumb broad…but not because she “blurted out the first rubbish that came into her head” after seeing a shooting in “real time”
She’s a dumb broad because, according to a report in today’s Herald Sun, she’s admitted to police that she didn’t see anything.

Apparently, she thought the quick road to fame was to make up a story and present it to police as an accurate account of what happened.

It’s shocking that there are people in the community prepared to try to sort out their differences with violence. It’s also disappointing that there are people like this girl, who think it’s funny to lie to police about such an awful incident.

So, I wonder what her newly appointed PR people will think of her now

Hey this looks like it could be the latest internet marketing hoax. Funny how the beer ads are prominently framed behind her?

Lighten up. She was just a dumb broad who was pissed in Kings Cross at all hours of the night and blurted out the first rubbish that came into her head. She had also just seen a person get shot in real time. I doubt she would have been in a state to have every intelligent person’s perspective in her mind when describing what she saw.

Maybe I didn’t focus on the fact that a murder happened, I just saw red when I heard that girl’s description.

Crime is shocking wherever it takes place, and like many people I have become desenstised to crimes happening on an everyday basis. If this girl had used different language to describe the scene, then I may have paid more attention to the event itself.

Her use of the word wog put me offside because it represents for me personally (I want to emphasise that part) it is a derogatory term. She may not have meant it like that, but the fact that it has ended up as widely watched and laughed about as it has proves the ridiculousness of what this girl said.

I’m simply expressing my views, they don’t represent those of everyone else. I can’t apologise for being offended, her words strike at the heart of what it means to be Australian. We should not be singled out because of our appearance and ethnic origin.

When people choose to describe an event, they can do so with a bit more tact and more people will focus on the event itself rather than the way it is reported.

So, maybe I missed it. Did her new PR manager issue a statement? I just want to know what the hell they had to say.

Call them “idiot” would have been more appropriate, becouse they are a shame to the rest of us that belong to the category you anglo australian call “wog” cheers

I have been called a ‘wog’. I’ve also been called ‘Abo’ and a few other – rather more distasteful versions – of the latter. I survived.

As I said in my response to Mia’s bullying post, the scars caused by those words run deep, but they made me stronger.

Bearing in mind, at the time I was called those names, I was a child (in primary school) and all I knew was that they hurt. As an adult, if someone calls me *insert insulting/derogatory word of choice here* I just brush it off, I have learnt that words wound only our pride, not our person.

And in case anyone was wondering, I do have Aboriginal blood, along with Scots, Black Irish, English and Welsh. I’m a bitser/mongrel, and proud of it. And you can call me whatever you like!
