Very few trust a government warning becuase of all the lies they spin

Evidence of peoples total lack of trust in governments becuase of the lies they spin to protect themselves and their big business buddies is in the pudding!

ALMOST 50 per cent of Australians ignore government travel warnings when considering an overseas holiday, a survey has found.

The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) issues advisories warning Australian travellers of dangers present in countries ranging from the UK to Iraq.

But an online poll by tourist website totaltravel.com found one in four travellers were willing to take a risk and only sometimes took advice.

Another 20 per cent of respondents believed they could look after themselves and rarely followed travel advice.

A slight majority of the 500 respondents to the poll said they always followed travel warnings.


So the result of lies is people not trusting the government on serious issues!
